I tried to make photos of the whole progress, but after 8 days it was barely visible and I didn't care anymore enough to take photos.
I uploaded the photos I did make here (sorry for the weird edit, hehe):

I didn't have a clear pic of the venous lake, I mostly tried to retake the pic so that it would show the least. In real life, it would look bigger and in some pictures (in dark) even enormous!
The photos are from different times of the day and lightning, so that's why my lip colour looks different on every photo.
I'm really satisfied with the result. You seriously can't see anything; no scar, no nothing.
As you can see on the picture, a big black crust was left on my lip after treatment.
6 days after treatment, the crust had fallen off already and it left a pit in my lip.
Two days later, I noticed something black in the pit. I was worried it might have been the venous lake returning (because that could happen, as the dermatologist said), but after a day or two the black thing, what probably was a new crust, was gone.
My lip turned white on the spot where the venous lake used to be. It was barely noticable, but it was definately there. It seemed to turn a bit darker, grayish maybe, but before I knew it, my original lip colour had returned!
I was so happy when it was white coloured, that I didn't mind the spot anymore and which is why I forgot to make photos. After a few days when it got normal, I realised I had to make another photo of the venous lake being gone for good, so the endresult was actually a few days earlier.
I hope you didn't mind reading my story (which could have been way shorter, sorry for that) and I hope it helps you make your choice, if you also have a venous lake.
