Purplish spots on my legs 3 weeks post laser treatment. Will they ever go away? I am 43 yr old.

Hello, 3 weeks ago i had laser treatment on my leg veins - i only had superficial very thin red, net -like capillaries over my thighs and some lower legs. I have very fair skin and don't tan at all. 3 weeks post treatment i still have purplish spots at the sites of treatment that are now more pronounced that the veins that were treated in the first place.Will they ever go away ?
