Frequently Asked Questions about Photofacial / IPL

During the Clear V treatment, most clients experience a mild sensation, often compared to a quick rubber band snap. This is followed by a gentle warming of the skin as the laser works to target the vessels. Advanced cooling technology in the Clear V device keeps the skin comfortable throughout the procedure, ensuring a tolerable and pleasant experience.

Clear V is suitable for individuals seeking to address vascular concerns such as:

  • Spider veins
  • Broken capillaries
  • Facial redness from rosacea
  • Telangiectasia (small, visible blood vessels)
  • Leg veins (small, superficial veins)

It is ideal for those with light to medium skin tones, though a consultation is necessary to evaluate your specific skin type and concerns. Your provider will determine if Clear V is the right choice for you.

What are the risks and side effects of Clear V?
Clear V is a safe and effective treatment when performed by an experienced provider. However, you may experience temporary side effects such as:

  • Redness or mild swelling in the treated area
  • Temporary darkening of the targeted veins before they fade
  • Rarely, minor bruising or skin sensitivity

These side effects are typically mild and subside within a few days. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize risks and optimize results.

Clear V delivers excellent results for vascular concerns. Most clients see significant improvement in redness, visible veins, and discoloration after one to three sessions. Treated veins will fade over time, and new veins may develop in the future, requiring occasional maintenance treatments. Results are often noticeable within a few weeks after the first session.

Recovery from Clear V is minimal, with most clients experiencing mild redness or swelling for a day or two. Some treated veins may appear darker before fading over the next few weeks.

Post-treatment care:

  • Apply sunscreen daily to protect the treated area.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that increase heat in the treated area for 48 hours.
  • Refrain from using makeup or skincare products that may irritate the skin for 24 hours.

Most clients can return to their normal routine immediately after treatment. Your provider will give specific aftercare instructions tailored to your needs.

Specialized pulsed of optimized light are used to target brown spots, sun damage and vessels without harming the surrounding skin. These imperfections absorb the energy delivered to your skin causing them to slowly disappear through your body’s natural healing process.

Immediately after the treatment, it is common to feel a mild sunburn-like sensation around the treatment site, which typically lasts 2-24 hours. Redness and/or swelling may accompany this and usually resolves in 2-3 days. We will discuss any other possible side effects and the necessary post-treatment care with you during the consultation, and it is also on your intake forms when booking your service.
