I'm very glad I had mine done -now I can wear shorts with pride, plus I think they make a person seem older than they are. I had nice legs from exercising but the spider veins took away from that.
I actually had an appointment scheduled before the time the post went up. It was exactly 42 sticks and am a bit sore. I thought it would take longer to heal but there is no inflammation which they told me to watch for; there isn't any thankfully. I am keeping them propped up still as much as I can though to be safe. I don't feel as old as my legs looked but already they look better. I'm just amazed. Why I waited so long, well, b/c of the pricks of course and trying to be painfree. I do know now that tattoos are not going to be on my agenda anytime soon. Now I'll be ready for the summer. Yeah! Bring on the shorts.
Thanks for this!
