What is causing purple blue patches after foam sclerotherapy of reticular veins done by best vein clinic in the state? (Photos)

After EVLT of large & small SV & ultrasound guided sclerotherapy of other refluxing veins, I got a full session of foam sclerotherapy for mostly reticular & some spider veins. 2.5 weeks later both of my thighs are covered in blue and purple patches as well as new tiny blue spider veins. Those are not bruised areas. Went back to PA and they drained some of the treated veins. This has not helped with the appearance though. Using compression stockings. What is causing the discoloration and what can I do about it?
