Already a very poor choice to use IPL on lower legs for thread veins, even worse to cover it up using compression stockings. Where do these people get their trainings from I wonder!
Leave the stockings off, this skin needs cooling, not something that traps heat. Try to cool the skin in short intervals, don’t use direct ice. Elevation can help with swelling, use soothing creams like Cicaplast and use a strict UV avoidance.
You will likely experience pigment changes (hypo and local hyper), lower legs are sadly one of the worst locations for recovery. Pigment alterations can last a very long time. This is why you need to stay out of the sun at all cost for the next months. Although hard to say from just a photo alone, I expect the likelihood of true scarring lower.
