How Does Laser Vein Removal Work?
At Dream Spa Medical, two advanced laser systems are available to address visible veins and capillaries: GentleMax® Pro and Candela® Nordlys.
Although these laser technologies use different wavelengths, both are designed to target unwanted blood vessels beneath the skin. The laser energy heats the blood within the targeted vessel, causing it to coagulate and gradually break down. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs the treated vessel while blood flow is redirected to healthier vessels deeper beneath the skin.
This process can significantly reduce the appearance of spider veins, facial capillaries, and other visible vascular concerns while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected.
What to Expect From Laser Vein Treatment in Brookline
Laser vein removal is performed without surgery and typically requires little to no downtime. The number of treatments needed can vary depending on the size, location, color, and number of veins being treated, as well as your individual skin characteristics.

Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for Laser Vein Removal in Brookline
- Women who are pregnant should not receive laser vein removal. If you are nursing and would like to pursue treatment we ask that you consult your PCP for clearance.
- Avoid direct sun exposure & tanning beds for 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
- Please avoid using self-tanners for 2 weeks prior to your appointment specifically in the area to be treated. If you have used self-tanner outside of the 2-week timeframe, we ask that you please exfoliate the area to ensure no remnants of the product are left in the area to be treated. The laser energy could burn the surface of the skin since the laser could target the “tanned area” instead of your vein.
- If you are currently taking oral antibiotics or steroids, you should discontinue the medication for 10 days prior to your appointment.
- It is best if you arrive to your appointment free of makeup, perfume, lotion, or other cosmetic products in the treatment area.
- If you have a known allergy or sensitivity to Cryogen Cooling Therapy, please inform our team when scheduling your appointment.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- Consider elevating your legs for the first 48 hours if they were treated. We also recommend wearing support hose for at least 72 hours after leg vein treatments.
- Treated veins frequently remain visible for 3 to 6 weeks before dissipating. This is due to residual clotted blood in the vessel and the time it takes for your body to naturally reabsorb the unwanted blood/tissue.
- A red scab may form under the skin. After a few weeks, your body will reabsorb it. Successful treatments usually exhibit this.
- It is possible to have pain from the treatment of larger veins for several days post-treatment. Tylenol and/or Arnica are recommended for any discomfort.
- It is advised to remain out of the sun for 1 week. It is recommended that you use a medical-grade sunblock for any sun exposure.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, and excessive temperatures for 72 hours.
- You may proceed with any injectable treatments and most cosmetic procedures immediately following your treatment.
