Nonsurgical laser vein removal treatment is performed in our Boston, MA, office as an outpatient procedure in about 20 – 40 minute sessions, based on the size and number of treatment areas. For your procedure, you will be asked to recline and relax in a private treatment room as the affected area is cleansed and prepared. If you would like, our staff will apply a topical numbing cream can be applied before the session to lessen any potential discomfort. The laser is then passed over the skin so the energy can target the spider veins through a series of pulses without affecting the surrounding tissues or other body parts. The blood vessels absorb the laser's energy, collapsing the vessel wall. You will be able to immediately leave our office after treatment or as soon as you feel ready in order to get back to your daily activities.

Immediately following your laser vein removal session, you might notice some swelling, bruising, and redness around the treated areas, but these side effects usually subside within 1 – 2 weeks of treatment. For optimal healing, compression or supportive garments should be worn to increase blood flow and circulation. It's also important to avoid prolonged or unnecessary sun exposure, and you are encouraged to frequently apply sunscreen to the areas which have been treated. Several patients may novice visible improvement immediately, but the timing of outcomes will be different for each individual. In your initial consultation with our qualified team, realistic expectations will be reviewed, along with suggestions on session plans and quantity to achieve your optimal results. New spider veins may appear over time, so more follow-up sessions can follow as needed.

How much does laser vein removal cost?
Laser vein removal is a treatment that is priced based on the number of veins are being addressed and how many sessions are suggested for optimal results. At your consult, your technician at DeRosa Center Facial Aesthetics will assess your veins, the size and location, then determine the scope of the treatment process to help establish a cost. DeRosa Center Facial Aesthetics accepts several payment methods and we offer deals on procedures like laser vein removal.

Should I get laser vein removal or sclerotherapy?
Treatments with laser vein removal can help veins of all sizes and types. Based on your needs, some treatments may be better than sclerotherapy depending on what is being addressed. Laser vein therapy works great for certain veins; however, if you who have certain types of spider veins may prefer sclerotherapy, which uses a solution that is injected directly into the vein. Varicose veins often respond well to laser vein treatments; however, if the vein is larger, surgery may be recommended. We will work with you to determine your treatment choice depending on your needs and goals.

Does the vein go away?
Laser vein removal treats the vein with a focused beam of light that heats up the vein and then destroys it. The technology is very precise and is highly focused on the target area, so it won't affect the nearby skin. After the vein collapses, it will take about 1 – 2 months for it to be reabsorbed and disappear.
