ClearV®. Diminish visible capillaries and restore a more even skin tone
understand ClearV®
Addressing visible broken capillaries and persistent facial redness
Persistent redness, flushing, and visible capillaries are common features of rosacea. These changes are driven by small blood vessels in the skin that have become overactive or more visible over time.
DOCTOR SHAMMI takes a structured, clinician-led approach to managing this. Rather than relying on a single treatment, she layers modalities within the same session to address both the visible redness and the underlying triggers.
ClearV is prescribed where appropriate to target these small blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface. By addressing the source of the redness, it supports a reduction in ongoing flushing and visible capillaries, leading to a clearer, more even complexion.
This is typically combined with other modalities in the same session to also support skin strength, texture, and overall quality, ensuring a more complete and stable outcome.

THE PROCESS
The Consultation
You will have an in-clinic consultation with Dr Shammi to assess your skin and determine the exact treatment settings that will be used in your ClearV sessions.
This consultation is essential, as it is where your personalised parameters are prescribed, including energy levels, treatment areas, and the number of passes required. These settings are not generic and are defined specifically for your skin to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
Dr Shammi will assess areas of redness and visible capillaries, alongside your skin type, vessel characteristics, and sensitivity, particularly in the context of rosacea. From this, a structured treatment plan is created that guides all subsequent ClearV sessions.
Your medical history and skincare routine are also reviewed, with adjustments made where required. Follow-up appointments are scheduled before you leave.
The consultation fee may be credited toward treatment, subject to terms and conditions.
The Treatment
Dr Shammi prescribes ClearV as part of a structured treatment plan, with your full protocol and treatment intervals outlined during your consultation. The number of sessions required is determined on an individual basis and varies depending on clinical presentation and response to treatment.
Your plan may incorporate complementary modalities within the same session to optimise outcomes for redness, visible capillaries, and underlying vascular changes that may be present beneath the skin surface. A combination of modalities is utilised within the session to optimise results, without additional charge.
Each treatment is 75 minutes and includes VISIA imaging to monitor and track progress.
