ClearV (Nd:YAG 1064nm) is a laser for the treatment of vascular lesions, port wine stains, visible vessels, broken capillaries, and spider veins.

Vascular lesions are typically caused by abnormal blood flow and weakening of the blood vessel wall. Vascular lesions increase with age. They can also develop after acne rosacea, environmental damage caused by the sun or cold temperatures, trauma to the skin, radiation therapy, and chronic treatment with topical corticosteroids.

ClearV uses SVI (subsurface vein illumination) technology to enhance visibility to locate subsurface and feeder veins to treat thoroughly and effectively.

Suitability for service

ClearV is suitable for use on all skin types. ClearV should not be used if you have an infectious or connective tissue disease, are immunocompromised, pregnant, are taking medication known to increase sensitivity to light, or have a medical condition that may affect wound healing. ClearV is also not suitable for you if you have a haemorrhagic (bleeding) disorder or haemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction; or have used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6-12 months.

Pre-treatment planning

Avoid alcohol in the week prior to your treatment because it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling. Avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications 2 weeks prior. Hair in the treatment area should be shaved prior to the treatment.

What to expect

The area to be treated will be cleaned to remove any dirt, makeup or moisture. Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated. Some mild pain and discomfort are to be expected, although this varies depending on individual factors, such as pain tolerance level. Eye protection will be provided for you to wear during your treatment. Treatments are ideally performed 4-6 weeks apart, with 2-3 treatments required to address your concerns.

Post-service care

Slight redness and a minimal sunburn sensation may last for several hours after treatment. Cool compresses or ice packs can provide some comfort after treatment. Apply sunblock to the treated areas for at least 2 weeks following treatment to avoid excessive sunburn reaction or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Do not use facial products with retinoids or other potentially irritating ingredients for 1 week following your treatment. Aspirin and alcohol should be avoided for 12-48 hours after your treatment.
