About ClearV

ClearV treatments are safe on the face, legs, and most other areas any time of year. It is effective for all skin types and tones to correct most types of redness, including:

• Spider veins

• Visible blood vessels

• Broken capillaries

• Rosacea

• Vascular lesions

If you have a more complex condition, such as telangiectasia, poikiloderma, cherry angiomas, or vascular melasma, you may benefit from a combination of ClearV and BBL® HERO®. Our licensed aestheticians have expertise in these and many other advanced skin treatments and will develop a treatment plan customized to your unique needs and skincare goals.

Your ClearV Laser Vein Treatment

After cleansing your skin and ensuring targeted areas are hair-free, your provider will place protective shields over your eyes. The ClearV laser has integrated cooling to minimize discomfort, so no numbing cream is needed. You will feel heat with each quick pulse of energy as the laser moves over the skin. The treatment will take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your targeted concerns. You can return to your normal daily activities right away.

Results

After your treatment, the skin will look and feel sunburned for 24 to 48 hours. The color of your veins may intensify, or the area may look bruised. These normal side effects will resolve within 2 to 3 weeks. Treated veins and other concerns will fade gradually within about 4 to 6 weeks.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Patients typically need 1 to 3  ClearV treatments, each spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Many experience a noticeable improvement after just one treatment.
