ClearV® Laser Vein Treatment

No More Unwanted Veins, Just Beautiful Skin

Eliminate Broken Capillaries, Spider Veins, and Rosacea with ClearV

They say beauty is more than skin deep. But when you’re struggling with skin concerns, like unwanted veins, you can’t let your best self shine. Maybe you’re still concealing those little vessels on your face with layers of makeup, or you’re limiting yourself to outfits that hide embarrassing spider veins on your legs. Whatever your skin concerns, don’t let them intimidate you–ClearV can help. 

ClearV treats visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, vascular lesions, skin discoloration, rosacea, and more.

How it Works

ClearV delivers targeted and precise laser energy to gently eliminate vascular structures, which become less noticeable over time.

ClearV is appropriate for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I – VI). Patients have no downtime and may resume daily activities immediately following treatment.

Vascular lesions usually don’t go away on their own, but with Clear V, you can finally say goodbye to those stubborn vessels—anywhere on the body.

How to Prepare

Before treatment, you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizer and, if needed, shave the area to be treated. Anesthetic cream or ice is not needed. 

Any additional pre and post-treatment guidelines will be discussed by your provider.

What to Expect with ClearV

During treatment, your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. The ClearV handpiece will deliver precise laser energy to the area being treated. You may feel a brief warm or hot sensation as the laser pulses are absorbed by the unwanted vessels. The ClearV procedure may take anywhere from 5-30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Patients receiving a ClearV treatment can expect a noticeable reduction in body and facial veins after just one treatment, with results improving over time.

A sunburn sensation and a slight feeling of soreness are normal and expected. These reactions tend to subside within 24-48 hours after treatment.

After 48 hours, the skin over the treated veins will look slightly red, purple, or bruised. Sometimes the veins will be more visible than they were before treatment. This is normal. Within the first 2 to 3 weeks, the redness and purple color will begin to fade. Each week, the color will become lighter and the veins will become less noticeable.

Before & After

Before

To decrease any achiness or discomfort after treatment and help reduce any bruising, a support hose or an ace bandage may be used.

After

Post-Treatment Care

Patient responses may vary. Redness and swelling around the treated vessels are usually noticeable within a few minutes and typically have a “cat scratch” appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • All areas can be treated, although the most popular are the legs and the face.

  • The ClearV handpiece is uniquely designed to visualize sub-surface veins with yellow or orange light. This provides the treating physician with enhanced visibility, allowing for a more thorough and effective treatment.

  • There should be little to no discomfort during treatment. However, this will vary from patient to patient. There is no need for anesthesia, and your physician will discuss options to properly manage any discomfort. ClearV has integrated cooling, which will improve your experience. There should be no prolonged post-treatment discomfort.

  • It is important to follow your physician’s instructions. You may be given skin care products and instructions on how to use them. Strictly avoid any sun exposure to the treated area for a minimum of 7 days after the procedure. The treated area is more prone to sunburn and pigmentation change. Keep the area covered and use a sunblock with a protection factor of 30+ and reapply every two hours. Generally, we ask you to refrain from active exercise for 48 to 72 hours post-treatment. This is to ensure that the vessels stay closed and you achieve the best results in fewer treatments.

    Until sensitivity has completely subsided, AVOID all of the following:

    • Applying makeup over the treated areas

    • Use of scented lotions or soaps, exfoliant creams (Retin-A, glycolic/salicylic, and alpha-hydroxy acids), acne creams or gels, loofa sponges, and aggressive scrubbing

    • Excessively hot water

    • Shaving

    • Swimming pools and spas with multiple chemicals/chlorine and severe temperature changes

    • Activities that cause excessive perspiration

    • Hot tubs and hot showers for 48-72 hours

  • Your healing time will depend upon your actual treatment. In most cases, there is no downtime, and you may resume your daily activities immediately. Subsequent treatments are based upon your clinician’s recommendation and are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

  • This will be discussed by your provider during the initial consultation, however, most providers will recommend some form of compression for 5 to 7 days post-treatment.
