Dealing with small red or purple veins around your nose or cheeks can be frustrating, especially when they don't fade over time. These facial vessels, also known as telangiectasias or vascular lesions, are harmless but can impact how you feel about your skin. At Boston Medical Aesthetics, we specialize in Laser Vessel Treatment using the advanced Candela GentleMax Pro, a non-invasive option to safely reduce vascular lesions and cherry angiomas anywhere on the body, helping you achieve a clearer, more confident complexion.
Our clinic provides customized Boston laser vessel treatments to address issues like telangiectasias, redness, and cherry angiomas. The GentleMax Pro laser offers precise and effective results with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Located in the heart of Boston, Boston Medical Aesthetics combines cutting-edge technology with a patient-focused approach to ensure personalized care.
Vascular lesions are small, dilated blood vessels visible beneath the skin. These red or purple discolorations are often referred to as spider veins or telangiectasias when they appear on the face. Other common types of vascular lesions include cherry angiomas, which are bright red, mole-like clusters of blood vessels that can form anywhere on the body.
While benign, vascular lesions often become more prominent with age, sun exposure, or conditions like rosacea. Addressing them with laser treatments can improve skin clarity, restore balance, and boost confidence.
The development of vascular lesions can stem from several factors. Sun exposure plays a significant role, as UV rays gradually weaken the walls of blood vessels, causing them to dilate and become visible. Aging is another contributing factor — the skin naturally thins over time, making the vessels underneath more noticeable. Conditions like rosacea frequently lead to chronic redness and visible blood vessels, primarily affecting the face. Genetics can also increase susceptibility, meaning if vascular lesions run in your family, you may be more likely to develop them. Environmental factors such as temperature extremes can also trigger capillary expansion, causing these tiny veins to appear more prominently on the skin's surface.
Damaged veins can disrupt normal blood flow, leading to the formation of visible vascular lesions.
Understanding why vascular lesions occur allows us to recommend the best possible treatment options while also helping you take preventative measures moving forward.
Laser vessel treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses laser energy to target and eliminate unwanted blood vessels, such as spider veins and cherry angiomas. This advanced treatment emits concentrated pulses of laser light that heat and collapse the visible blood vessels without harming the surrounding skin. Over time, the body naturally absorbs these treated vessels, leading to a clearer and more even complexion. This method is particularly effective for improving various skin conditions, promoting overall skin health, and enhancing one's appearance.
During your consultation for laser hair removal Boston hair reduction experts at BMA will assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to create a personalized treatment plan. You'll receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for your Laser Hair Removal sessions, which may include avoiding sun exposure and refraining from waxing or plucking for a few weeks before treatment.
Our laser treatments address various skin concerns, including:
By targeting these issues, laser vessel treatment enhances the appearance of your skin and promotes overall clarity.
Laser vein removal is one of the most effective, non-surgical methods for shrinking and eliminating unwanted blood vessels. The Candela GentleMax Pro laser precisely targets vascular lesions by emitting concentrated pulses of laser light that heat and destroy the vessels while preserving the surrounding skin. The body then naturally absorbs the treated vessels, gradually clearing the skin and reducing discoloration over the following weeks.
The GentleMax Pro stands out because of its precision and effectiveness. It accurately targets blood vessels without damaging healthy tissue, ensuring the procedure is safe and efficient. Depending on the area being treated, you may need a series of treatments, with sessions typically lasting 15 to 30 minutes. Many patients describe the sensation as similar to a quick snap of a rubber band, with minimal discomfort thanks to integrated cooling technology that protects the skin during the procedure.
The Candela GentleMax Pro uses advanced laser light technology to precisely target and treat vascular lesions. This laser emits pulses of energy that penetrate the skin, collapsing the unwanted blood vessels and allowing the body to absorb and eliminate them naturally.
Key Benefits of the GentleMax Pro:
Laser vessel treatment can significantly enhance your skin's appearance, providing visible and long-lasting results. By reducing redness and eliminating spider veins, this treatment creates a clearer, more even complexion. One of the primary advantages is that there is minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily routines immediately after their appointment. Sessions are quick, typically under 30 minutes, making them easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Results improve progressively as the body absorbs the treated vessels, with noticeable improvements after just one or two sessions. For the best outcome, multiple treatment sessions are often necessary to achieve the desired results and two to four treatments are recommended for most patients. This process improves the skin's visual appearance and restores confidence by addressing concerns that may have previously been difficult to manage with topical products alone.
Ideal candidates for laser vessel treatment include individuals with:
This treatment is most effective for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I-III) and may not be suitable for individuals with darker skin due to a higher risk of pigmentation changes. During your consultation for laser vessel treatment Boston skin rejuvenation specialists at BMA will evaluate your skin and recommend the best approach for your needs.

Preparation Tips:
The GentleMax Pro laser delivers targeted pulses directly to the affected areas. Patients commonly report feeling a quick snapping sensation during the procedure, which is brief and tolerable. Treatments typically last 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas addressed.
Following your laser vein treatment, the targeted area may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. Some post-treatment redness, bruising, or temporary darkening of vessels can occur. The treated veins gradually fade over the next few weeks as the body absorbs the broken vessels.
