Thank you for your question. The skin is more sun sensitive and may burn or discolor. I hope this helps.
Tanning can cause burning and inflammation and it is not recommended in my practice for 3 months after laser treatment for spider veins and varicose veins or sclerotherapy. It can cause increased hyperpigmentation and telangiectatic matting.

I advise patients to wait at least 48 hours after treatment or until the redness resolves. The sun can burn the recently treated areas which are, in a way, a fresh wound. One other thing to note is that the sun itself can lead to spider vein formation on the legs just as it does on the face so it would be even better to not get sun burn.
Although tanning is not good for your skin, if you are done with your laser treatments and the skin is no longer red, you can get a tan. Better to stay pale and you will look young longer, and not risk getting a skin cancer.
