Spider veins are much smaller than varicose veins and usually far more harmless. But in all the years I’ve been practicing medicine and surgery, I’ve never met a woman who didn’t want to get rid of them. After all, those web-like blue and purple lines on the face and legs can creep up on you and become a cosmetic nightmare. In some women, they cause discomfort.
We have plenty of non-invasive treatment options for spider veins here at Live Young Wellness Spa. But our job just got easier with the ClearV 1064, which treats not only the spider veins you can see but also the ones you can’t see.
What is ClearV?
Because I was not satisfied with our ability to treat small vessels on the face, I purchased the Sciton ClearV laser and recently introduced it into our practice. It has quickly become the preferred choice for vascular treatments since it effectively and safely treats spider veins and small vessels anywhere people don’t want them. Even dark circles under the eyes can be caused by prominent, small veins. The subsurface vein illumination offered only by Sciton, Inc. helps us to see portions of the vessel that are not visible to the human eye.
ClearV is perfect for:
- Facial telangiectasias
- Leg veins
- Periorbital veins
- Reticular veins
- Port wine stains
- Spider veins
- Rosacea
- Dark under eye circles
- Skin tags
- Broken capillaries
- Vascular lesions
- Skin discoloration
Why is it important to treat the spider veins you can’t normally see?
This is a great question, especially when your biggest concern is getting rid of what everyone can see on the outer layer of your skin. The simple answer is that being able to see and treat portions of the vessel that you can’t see allows us to treat the ENTIRE vein. This allows for better overall improvement and long-lasting results. Another benefit of the ClearV is that, previously, we did not have a good answer for the unsightly vessels on the face. We could make them better, of course — but not perfect. We now have a better treatment option that delivers faster results.
The ClearV targets hemoglobin, a component of blood that scars the vessel closed without affecting the skin. The treatment is associated with mild discomfort. There is no downtime, but mild bruising is possible.
