Broken capillaries are worse, and they've spread after laser resurfacing. What can I do?

Can laser cause spread of broken capillaries or cause the formation of new ones? I Recently had laser for broken capillaries at new clinic. 1 day after treatment the capillaries went darker and I noticed they spread and look much worse than before. Originally just on side of nose now are all around the corners and outside nose as well. I've had laser before many times at a different clinic and they disappeared immediately. Probably used a different kind of laser. Its been 3 weeks no improvement.
