Sclerotherapy - bruising after injections? (photo)

This is my third treatment for my varicose veins. I have never had this side effect before. Now I would like to get multiple opinions on this because I am worried. The doctor said it is just swelling and will go down but I am reading online this brown area on the skin could last for months. For the record this happened the next day I had the injections
