trivex

I had the trivex procedure done on Oct.15th. I had a lot of varicose veins on my right leg that caused some pain physically and mentally it made me self conscious. The procedure wasn't bad at all I didn't need anything stronger than ibuprofen for the discomfort. I am not sure if I am happy with the results, the main bruising is gone but what I was left with are dark lines around where the veins used to be with some lumps and also some darkness. My leg also has some indentments where the deeper veins were and I am also still having some discomfort. I have been wearing my support hose and using the bag balm at night and elevating my leg. But I am wondering if anyone else has those lines and if they went away or stayed? Maybe I need more time to heal but if asked if I would do it again I would say no.
