ClearV Treatment by Sciton in Santa Cruz, Aptos CA

The Sciton ClearV laser treatment is a type of non-ablative laser, meaning that it works on the skin without damaging the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis. In the dermatological space, it is mainly used to treat forms of vascular lesions, which are commonly defined as abnormalities among blood vessels and include the following: broken capillaries, visible veins, rosacea, spider veins, and some instances of spider veins.

The ClearV laser works by emitting light whose wavelengths are absorbed by the skin. The absorption eventually leads to a generation of heat which can break down unwanted blood vessels. This can combat the appearance of skin discoloration that vascular lesions commonly give rise to. It should be known that it may also be used to fight general redness of the skin or help produce a more even skin tone in some instances separate from vascular lesions. Still, for the most part, it remains one of the top treatment options for vascular lesions specifically.

In general, the Sciton ClearV laser is exceptional at treating vascular and pigmented lesions, or more descriptively, abnormalities among blood vessels. These are of particular interest to treat as they often leave undesirable patterns on the visible skin and can appear as red, purple, blue, or brown. Vascular lesions are also a very broad category of conditions, however, many of these conditions can be effectively treated through the use of the ClearV laser.

People experiencing spider veins, or rosacea, as well as those who face the struggles of general skin redness or broken capillaries, will be able to see significant improvement in their skin’s appearance going forward with ClearV laser treatment. A more extensive list of treatments can be compiled by asking a trusted medical professional or service provider. Furthermore, it is especially important to ensure ClearV treatment is an adequate option for your circumstances by consulting the appropriate medical professionals such as dermatologists, nurse practitioners, or other qualified personnel.

The most direct benefit that leads people to pursue ClearV is its ability to treat a variety of vascular lesions and minimize their presence. Poor self-esteem and well-being can commonly be linked with struggles relating to one’s appearance, particularly when it comes to perceived imperfections and visible skin conditions, making ClearV a potential solution for those experiencing these feelings. On a more technical note, the treatment is suitable for all skin types, but slight irritation for a short period following the procedure can result.

In addition, the procedure is very quick, generally lasting about 10 minutes, but depends on the number of lesions, and has minimal downtime, meaning clients can go about their normal schedule immediately following their treatment. As a final note, ClearV is a noninvasive procedure as well, meaning that there is no penetration of the skin whatsoever and a very low risk of complication. With all of that being said, ClearV may not be the best treatment for everyone and still requires the proper clearance and approval to pursue. Asking a trusted medical professional, typically a dermatologist in this case, will be your best bet in terms of deciding on the proper treatment.

Having a general idea of what constitutes a good ClearV candidate is certainly helpful in determining if it is the best route of treatment for you. Typically, those who pursue ClearV have some form of vascular lesion or minor skin condition. In addition to this, good candidates may be looking for noninvasive options in particular, which match the nature of the ClearV laser. People who are open to pursuing multiple sessions are also great candidates for ClearV since it does take time to produce optimal results. The session schedule may be recommended by your trusted medical professional, but each session is generally spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

If these are all aspects that apply to you, there is a great chance that you are a good candidate for ClearV laser treatment, but despite how well you resonate with these, it is still required to ensure that it is the necessary option with the help of your ClearV provider.
