Clear V Vein Removal in Nashville
Sciton ClearV · Precise · Non-Surgical
Laser vein removal at Sieveking Plastic Surgery uses the Sciton ClearV® laser to precisely fade unwanted facial vessels, broken capillaries, diffuse redness, and small leg spider veins. If you are bothered by fine capillaries around the nose and cheeks, persistent facial redness, or spider veins on the legs, ClearV offers a targeted, non-surgical solution that restores a clearer, more even appearance.
Targeted laser energy. Protected surrounding skin. Vessels that fade from view.
A precise vascular laser. Facial vessels and leg veins. Skin left protected.
ClearV® vein removal is a laser treatment that delivers targeted energy absorbed by the blood inside unwanted vessels. That energy gently heats and collapses the vessel, and over the following days and weeks your body clears it naturally so the vein fades from view. Rather than being cut out or stripped, treated vessels simply become less and less visible over time.
The Sciton ClearV® is a vascular laser designed specifically for this purpose — it targets the vessel itself while leaving the surrounding skin protected. At Sieveking Plastic Surgery, ClearV is used to treat facial vessels and small leg spider veins; larger, bulging, or varicose leg veins are a different concern and typically require evaluation by a vein specialist.
The vessels and redness ClearV can treat.
ClearV is a versatile option for a range of visible vessels and redness, on the face and the legs.
Broken capillaries
Small damaged vessels near the surface of facial skin, most common around the nose and cheeks.
Diffuse facial redness
The flushed, ruddy appearance across the face that many patients want to calm.
Rosacea-associated vessels
The visible vessels that can accompany persistent facial redness in rosacea-prone skin.
Leg spider veins
The fine, web-like vessels that appear on the thighs, calves, and ankles.
Hard-to-conceal vessels
Visible vessels that are otherwise difficult to cover — addressed with a targeted, non-surgical approach.
The approach
How ClearV vein removal works.
Because the laser can be tailored to the size and depth of each vessel, your provider can treat delicate facial capillaries and slightly larger leg spider veins with the same technology. The energy is absorbed by the blood inside the vessel, heating and collapsing it while the surrounding skin stays protected — the precision that defines the treatment.
Some vessels may appear to fade right away, while others darken briefly and then gradually clear over the following days to weeks as your body absorbs them. This staged response is expected and is a normal part of how the treatment works. Most patients notice visible improvement within 1 to 2 weeks of their first session.
The number of sessions varies from patient to patient. Some smaller vessels respond well to a single treatment, while others benefit from a short series to achieve the clearest result. New vessels can also develop over time, so occasional maintenance treatments may be helpful — a plan your provider tailors to your specific vessels at consultation.
Why choose this treatment
Benefits of ClearV vein removal.
Patients choose ClearV for its precision and its natural-looking results.
-
Visible fading
Unwanted facial vessels, diffuse redness, and small leg spider veins fade from view as the body gradually absorbs treated vessels.
-
Targeted precision
Laser energy tailored to each vessel’s size and depth treats the vessel itself while sparing the surrounding skin entirely.
-
Little to no downtime
Most patients return to their day with minimal interruption — mild redness or slight swelling typically settles within a few hours to a day.
-
Quick, focused sessions
Treatments are quick and focused, making them easy to fit comfortably into a busy schedule with no significant downtime afterward.
-
A more even appearance
A clearer, more even complexion on the face and smoother-looking skin on the legs as treated vessels clear over the following weeks.
-
A non-surgical approach
A precise laser answer to vessels that are otherwise difficult to conceal — nothing cut out, nothing stripped, no surgery involved.
Results are natural-looking rather than dramatic — which is precisely the goal — and occasional maintenance treatments help preserve your outcome and keep skin looking its best long term.
What to expect, from consultation to clear skin.
01
Consultation
A personalized assessment
Good candidates for ClearV vein removal are adults in good general health who are bothered by visible facial vessels, redness, or small leg spider veins. During your consultation, your provider evaluates the type, size, and depth of your vessels along with your skin tone to confirm the treatment is both safe and appropriate for you. Because vessel characteristics and skin type influence results, this personalized assessment is the best way to set realistic expectations — and, if treatment is right for you, to determine exactly how it should be tailored.
02
Treatment
Quick, focused sessions
ClearV treatments are designed to be straightforward and well tolerated. During your session, the laser is applied to each targeted vessel, and many patients describe the sensation as a brief warmth or a light snap. Any discomfort is typically mild and short-lived. Because the laser is tailored to the size and depth of each vessel — from delicate facial capillaries to slightly larger leg spider veins — sessions are quick and focused, making them easy to fit into a busy schedule.
03
Aftercare
Fading over days to weeks
Immediately after treatment, you may notice mild redness or slight swelling around the treated area. This is a normal response and typically settles within a few hours to a day, and most patients return to their regular activities the same day. Some vessels appear to fade right away, while others darken briefly and then gradually clear over the following days to weeks as your body absorbs them. Your provider may recommend avoiding intense sun exposure and strenuous exercise for a short period, and specific aftercare instructions are reviewed at your appointment.
04
Maintenance
Preserving the result
Most patients notice visible improvement within 1 to 2 weeks of their first session, with facial vessels typically fading significantly and small leg spider veins continuing to improve over 4 to 6 weeks. Because new vessels can develop over time, occasional maintenance treatments help preserve your outcome and keep your skin looking its best long term. For patients interested in overall tone and texture, ClearV also pairs well with other skin rejuvenation treatments — such as BBL photorejuvenation or a ClearSilk laser facial — with the right combination recommended at consultation.

Investment
Cost of ClearV vein removal.
ClearV vein removal pricing is tailored to each patient based on the number and size of vessels being treated, the areas addressed, and the number of sessions recommended. Facial vessel treatments and small leg spider vein treatments are priced differently, and some patients require a single session while others benefit from a short series.
Because no two patients present with the same vessels, a consultation is the most accurate way to receive a personalized cost estimate. During your appointment, your provider assesses your specific concerns, outlines a recommended treatment plan, and provides transparent pricing before any treatment begins — so you know exactly what your plan involves.
Questions, answered.
The questions most prospective patients ask before booking a consultation.
-
ClearV treats visible facial vessels — including spider veins, broken capillaries, diffuse redness, and rosacea-associated vessels — as well as small leg spider veins on the thighs, calves, and ankles. Larger, bulging, or varicose leg veins are a separate concern and typically require evaluation by a vein specialist. Your provider confirms which of your vessels are well suited to laser treatment at consultation.
-
Most patients tolerate ClearV well and describe the sensation as a brief warmth or a light snap as the laser targets each vessel. Any discomfort is typically mild and short-lived, and treatments are quick and focused. Afterward, mild redness or slight swelling around the treated area is normal and usually settles within a few hours to a day.
-
Some vessels appear to fade right after treatment, while others darken briefly and then clear gradually over the following days to weeks as your body absorbs them — a staged response that is a normal part of how the treatment works. Most patients notice visible improvement within 1 to 2 weeks of their first session, with small leg spider veins continuing to improve over 4 to 6 weeks.
-
The number of sessions varies by patient. Some smaller vessels may respond to a single treatment, while others benefit from a short series for the clearest result. Because new vessels can develop over time, occasional maintenance treatments may also be helpful. Your provider will confirm a recommended plan tailored to your specific vessels at your consultation.
-
Yes. At Sieveking Plastic Surgery, ClearV is used to treat both facial vessels and small leg spider veins, since the laser can be tailored to the size and depth of each vessel. During your consultation, your provider will assess your vessels to confirm they are well suited to laser vein removal; larger or varicose leg veins typically require evaluation by a vein specialist instead.
-
ClearV pairs well with other skin rejuvenation treatments depending on your goals. Patients interested in overall skin tone and texture may also benefit from BBL photorejuvenation or a ClearSilk laser facial, both offered within the same practice. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate combination for your skin at your consultation, so each treatment supports the next.
