Is swelling normal post sclerotherapy?

It's been 24 hours post sclerotherapy. I'm wearing my compression tights as prescribed for at least another 48 hours, but when I pull them down to use the restroom, I notice (among the anticipated bruising) a couple inch in diameter spots that seem swollen and tender to the touch. Is this normal? If so, when should I expect it to dissipate?
