ClearV

The Gold Standard

ClearV by Sciton is a powerful vascular laser treatment that targets visible veins, redness, and discoloration to reveal clearer, more even-toned skin.

 

ClearV

ClearV™ by Sciton is an advanced vascular laser treatment designed to effectively target and reduce the appearance of visible veins, redness, and vascular concerns on the face and body. Utilizing optimized 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser technology, ClearV™ selectively heats and eliminates unwanted blood vessels while protecting the surrounding skin, resulting in clearer, more even-toned skin with minimal discomfort and downtime.

This treatment is ideal for concerns such as spider veins, rosacea, broken capillaries, vascular lesions, under eye veins and redness, making it a versatile solution for patients seeking a smoother, more uniform complexion. ClearV™ also features Subsurface Vein Illumination (SVI™), which enhances visibility of deeper veins, allowing for precise targeting and improved treatment outcomes.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

Medications to Start:

  • Valtrex 1000mg: Begin 2 days before your procedure and continue for 2 days after treatment to prevent herpes simplex outbreaks, especially if you are prone to cold sores.
  • Pain Relief: You can take Tylenol (Acetaminophen) for mild discomfort prior to the procedure. Avoid taking Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or Naproxen for at least 1 week before the treatment as they may increase the risk of bruising.

Skin Care and Lifestyle:

  • Hydrate Your Skin: Ensure your skin is well-hydrated in the days leading up to the procedure. Drink plenty of water and use a moisturizing skincare regimen to prepare.
  • Stop Exfoliating Products: Discontinue any exfoliants such as retinols, glycolic acid, and strong exfoliating scrubs for at least 5-7 days prior to your treatment.
  • Avoid Self-Tanning Products: Stop using self-tanner or tanning beds 2-4 weeks before treatment to avoid any irritation or complications.
  • Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure for at least 2 weeks prior to the procedure to avoid skin sensitivity and pigmentation issues.
  • Supplements to Avoid: Stop using supplements like fish oil, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and Ginkgo Biloba 1 week prior to treatment as they can increase the risk of bruising or irritation.
  • Medication Restrictions: Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for 1 week prior to treatment. Inform your provider if you are taking any blood thinners.
  • Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from alcohol consumption for 2 days before and 2 days after treatment to reduce the risk of swelling and complications.
  • Accutane: Inform your provider if you have used Accutane (oral acne medication) in the past year. This can affect skin healing and treatment suitability.
  • Special Events: Schedule your procedure at least 4 weeks before any significant event, such as a wedding, vacation, or other special occasions, to allow time for proper healing.

Special Considerations:

  • Arrange for Transportation: If sedatives or oral medication will be used, plan to have someone drive you to and from your appointment.
