ClearScan is a new laser using infrared energy and the new standard for the treatment of many skin conditions. ClearScan allows precise treatment of visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, lesions, and discoloration of your skin. Laser therapy is a proven treatment for treating unsightly broken and dilated vessels, as well as such other unwanted vascular lesions as rosacea, port wine stains, and other vascular birthmarks.
ClearScan can restore your skin’s youthful appearance. Broken capillaries and other visible vascular structures will be gently eliminated from the visible layers of your skin’s surface. The laser has the ability to provide a treatment that is optimized to your skin condition. Unwanted lesions will be preferentially heated by the laser energy and become less noticeable, some will disappear; and pigmented lesions will greatly improve.
Any vessels or pigment denatured by the laser will be reabsorbed by your body over a period of time in a natural cleaning process. Most small capillaries will become invisible almost immediately since they will no longer contain blood flow.
Lasers work by emitting a specialized light that passes through the skin and is preferentially absorbed by its target, which can be an unwanted hair, birthmark or in this case, the hemoglobin (the red portion of blood) in the unwanted vessels. The heat from the laser causes the vein to break up and disappear.
Because laser vein treatment works by causing the unwanted vein to break up and dissolve, resolution of the unwanted vein will take place over the course of four or more weeks. The most common side effect is bruising, or purpura around the treated area. This will resolve within days of the treatment.
Facial veins are fine blood vessels (known as telangiectasia) located on the face, usually around the nose and central cheeks. They can be the result of cumulative sun exposure, genetics, or rosacea. Many patients also refer to these as “broken” blood vessels or capillaries. Improvement generally lasts for several years, but over time new facial veins will develop, requiring a touch-up treatment at a later date.
