WHAT IS CLEARVEIN – SPIDER VEIN TREATMENT?
The appearance of spider veins (also known as thread veins) can disrupt the even tone of the skin. They can develop on various areas of the body, usually on the legs and feet, as well as on the face as a symptom of rosacea. Clearvein is a revolutionary laser treatment that focuses on removing the look of spider veins from the surface of the skin. It is safe and effective, and produces results without significant side effects and downtime.
THE TREATMENT PROCESS
The Clearvein spider vein treatment involves placing a handheld device on the surface of the skin. The laser targets the spider vein precisely, delivering heat to the visible vessel. The heat enables the blood to coagulate, causing the vein to swell and collapse. The blood flow is then redirected to a healthy vein and the spider vein ceases to exist. The Clearvein attachment includes contact cooling which helps to regulate the surface temperature of the skin so that surrounding skin and tissues remain undamaged.
AFTERCARE AND RESULTS
This treatment can be used to eradicate a single vein, or a cluster of veins. Each one is targeted individually and can be removed permanently to create an even tone to the skin. This does not mean however, that new thread veins could not appear in a different location.
You may need to take extra care of your skin in the days that follow your spider vein treatment, as it may be slightly sensitive. If you expose your skin to the sun it would be advisable to wear a high SPF – 50+.
Faqs

Clearvein spider vein treatment involves the use of a laser to breakdown the unwanted lesion so that it can be naturally absorbed by the body. It has been deemed safe to use and is medically approved.
This treatment is virtually pain free. Heat energy is used to eradicate the unwanted vein but cooling technology will ensure the surrounding skin and tissues are not exposed to high temperatures.
After the procedure the skin may look red and wollen. It is not unusual for you to also experience some itching and dry skin.
