Refresh Your Skin With Laser Vein Removal in Canton, MA
Spider veins and other visible veins can become more noticeable as the skin and body change over time. If you are bothered by their appearance, laser vein removal may offer a non-surgical option for improving the appearance of certain unwanted veins.
At Dream Spa Medical in Canton, laser vein removal is performed using Candela® Nordlys and GentleMax® Pro. The treatment approach can be tailored according to the type, size, color, and location of the vessels being addressed.
How Does Laser Vein Removal Work?
Laser vein removal uses focused light energy to target selected blood vessels beneath the skin. The treated vessel is then gradually processed and reabsorbed by the body.
Laser treatment may be considered for concerns such as spider veins, certain visible leg veins, and other superficial vascular concerns. During a consultation, the Dream Spa Medical team can evaluate the area and determine whether laser treatment is appropriate for you.

What to Expect During Treatment
A laser vein removal session typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during the procedure.
Most patients can return to their usual activities without significant downtime, although temporary redness, soreness, or mild swelling may occur. Treated veins may also remain visible for several weeks as the body gradually clears the treated vessels.
The number of treatments needed varies from person to person. Your provider can recommend a treatment plan after evaluating your individual concerns.
Caring for the Treated Area
Following your provider’s aftercare instructions is an important part of the treatment process. For leg vein treatments, Dream Spa Medical recommends elevating the legs during the first 48 hours and wearing support hose for at least 72 hours.
You may also be advised to avoid sun exposure, strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and other activities for a short period after treatment.

Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for Laser Vein Removal in Canton
- 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.
