ClearV Laser for Facial Redness & Broken Capillaries in Duluth, MN
Calmer skin. Fewer visible vessels. Less flushing. Minimal downtime.
ClearV is designed to target visible blood vessels under the skin that create chronic redness and facial veins.
Why Won’t My Redness Go Away?
You’ve tried everything. Gentle cleansers, calming serums, green-tinted primers. But the redness is still there.
Duluth winters don’t help. The cold wind off Lake Superior, the blasting indoor heat, and then the bright summer sun that makes everything worse. Your skin gets stuck in a reactive cycle that it can’t seem to break.
Maybe it’s red cheeks that stay flushed long after you come inside. Broken capillaries around your nose that no amount of concealer will fully hide. Or that embarrassing flush that shows up in photos, meetings, or right after a workout.
You’re not imagining it. And you’re not stuck with it.
ClearV helps reduce the look of redness by targeting the tiny visible vessels causing it, rather than just masking the problem. It’s especially effective if you’re dealing with sun damage that’s made your skin more reactive over time.

What skin concerns can ClearV help with?
This is for redness you can see, and redness you can feel.
Rosacea redness and frequent flushing
Some days your skin feels calm. Other days, it looks like you’ve been out in the wind for hours.
Cold weather. Sudden heat changes. Hot drinks. Stress. Even a quick workout. When your skin flushes easily and takes too long to settle, it can start to feel unpredictable.
ClearV targets the tiny vessels that stay dilated and visible. As those vessels calm down, your skin can look more balanced. Fewer flare-looking days. Less constant pinkness.
Broken capillaries around the nose, cheeks, and chin
These are the fine red lines that seem to appear slowly over time. Often around the nose first. Then across the cheeks.
They don’t fade on their own.
ClearV directs energy into the blood inside the vessel. That energy helps the vessel collapse so it can gradually fade. The surrounding skin stays intact.
Cherry angiomas and small red spots
Those small red dots that seem to show up overnight. Bright. Noticeable. Hard to ignore once you see them.
Because ClearV targets blood-rich spots, it works well for pinpoint redness like cherry angiomas. Many can be treated quickly and precisely.
Post-acne redness and lingering marks
After a breakout heals, you may be left with flat red marks that hang on for months. These aren’t active acne but leftover redness from inflammation.
ClearV can help reduce the red component of those marks while your skin continues to repair itself. If breakouts are still part of the picture, we may also discuss options for acne treatment.
Scars that stay pink or red
Some scars improve in texture but keep a pink or red tone. ClearV can help address the redness in those areas.
If the concern is more about texture or deeper scarring, a different approach may be more effective. You can learn more about treatment options for scarring.
If you’re not sure what type of redness you have, that’s what the consult is for.
Is it redness, or is it pigment?
These look similar in the mirror, but they are treated differently.
- Red or pink that changes with temperature is often vascular. It may get brighter with heat, stress, or exercise.
- Brown or gray spots that stay the same color are usually pigment. They don’t flush. They don’t fade when you cool down.
- If you gently press on an area and it briefly blanches, that can suggest a vascular component.
ClearV is best for vascular redness. It targets visible blood vessels under the skin. It is not designed to treat brown sunspots or melanin-based discoloration.
If your concern is more about uneven brown tone, we can help you explore treatment options for hyperpigmentation. The good news is that the Sciton laser platform offers treatments specifically designed for discoloration, like our Forever Young BBL laser.
Where can ClearV be used?
ClearV is most often used on areas where redness feels the most visible.
- Face: cheeks, nose, chin
- Neck: in select cases
- Chest: in select cases
- Individual red spots: precise treatment for cherry angiomas or isolated vessels
Every pattern of redness is different. We will advise you on what is realistic for your skin and concerns.
How ClearV reduces visible redness?
Redness is not one-size-fits-all. Some people flush easily. Some have visible vessels. Some notice small red spots that never fade. The first step is figuring out which type you have.
- We identify the redness pattern. Diffuse flushing, isolated capillaries, or pinpoint red lesions all respond a little differently.
- ClearV delivers targeted energy to the vessel. The laser is drawn to the blood inside visible vessels beneath the surface.
- The vessel heats gently and stops standing out. Once treated, it no longer stays visible against your skin.
- Your body clears it gradually. Over time, tone looks more even and calm as treated vessels fade.
Settings are customized for your skin type and comfort level, so treatment stays precise and controlled.

What happens before, during, and after ClearV?
Before your appointment
A few simple steps help your skin respond well:
- Avoid active tanning and self-tanner
- Pause irritating active ingredients for a few days if recommended
- Come with clean skin if possible
We will review everything with you before treatment.
During treatment
You may feel quick warmth or light snapping sensations as the laser passes over the area. Most patients tolerate it well.
Treatment time depends on the size of the area being addressed. Smaller spots are quick. Larger areas like the cheeks take a bit longer.
You’re treating what’s underneath, so the surface of your skin is usually left intact.
After treatment
You may notice temporary redness or warmth. This typically settles as your skin cools down.
Some individual spots can look slightly darker before they fade. This is part of the normal process.
Most people return to their normal routine quickly, without needing to rearrange their schedule.
When will I see results from ClearV?
ClearV works gradually. Some changes are subtle at first. Then your skin continues to settle.
Same day: Mild warmth or pinkness can happen. This usually fades quickly.
Days 3–14: Visible vessels and treated spots often begin to look calmer as your skin adjusts.
Over several weeks: Your overall tone continues to look more even as your body clears the treated vessels.
Best results: Diffuse redness and flushing typically respond best to a series of treatments spaced out over time.
For patients who flush easily, seasonal touch-ups can help maintain a steady, balanced look. Pairing treatment with consistent medical-grade skincare helps support and extend your results.
Who is ClearV best for?
This is a great fit if you want results without a long recovery.
You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Facial redness that lingers
- Broken capillaries around the nose or cheeks
- Cherry angiomas or small red spots
- Flushing that shows up often
- A desire for a more even look without relying on heavy makeup
You may need to wait or talk with us first if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have an active skin infection or open areas
- Have recently had certain procedures or are on medications that affect healing
Your consultation is where we review your history, look closely at your skin, and make sure ClearV is the right choice for you.
Can I combine ClearV with other treatments?
Most “redness + texture + lines” goals take a layered plan.
ClearV addresses visible vessels and vascular redness. Other concerns, like collagen loss, texture, or discoloration, may benefit from additional support.
- Sculptra: helps stimulate collagen over time for stronger skin structure and gradual volume support.
- CO2 Lift Pro Mask: a soothing add-on that supports comfort and glow after treatment.
Depending on your goals, we may also discuss neurotoxins, SkinPen microneedling, Opus Plasma, or other Sciton laser treatments designed for pigment or overall skin quality.
We will recommend the safest order and timing for your skin.
