Question Help! No results after YAG!

Dear Forum,

This is my first post, and I just wanna say the abundance of information here has been a godsend. I'm currently on Finacea and Doxycycline, but am still unsure if my condition would be considered Rosacea, or just sun damage and acne.

Anyways, I have some visible spider veins on one cheek and, most noticeably on my nose. The ones on my nose cause a constant red, ruddy appearance. I decided to go to a laser clinic a week ago to try and get the veins lasered off. The procedure was quick and the practitioner seemed to think it was working. Here I am a week later, the swelling is completely gone, but I'm left with these unsightly buggers. I may see a small reduction in the redness, but its hard to say. She said if this didn't work, she would have to adjust the settings. Should the spider veins be gone by now, or does it take longer for the body to absorb them? Would a higher intensity setting have a better chance of zapping them?

Thanks for the help guys. This really is driving batty.
Nathan
