What is the Excel V+ laser treatment?
The excel V+ is an advanced laser treatment that targets visible skin concerns like rosacea and facial redness, facial veins, sunspots, and uneven skin tone. It uses two precise wavelengths of laser light to treat more than 20 different skin issues safely and effectively.
Who can benefit from laser treatment?
The excel V+ laser is a great option for people looking to improve the appearance of:
- Facial redness and rosacea
- Broken capillaries and spider veins
- Sun damage and brown spots
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Certain birthmarks
- Benign pigmented spots
- Scars
- Bruises
- Facial rejuvenation
It’s safe for most skin types and tones. If you’re bothered by skin discoloration, visible veins, or uneven skin texture, this treatment could be a good fit for you.
What should I expect during treatment?
During your appointment, your provider will clean the treatment area and use the Excel V+ device to deliver brief pulses of laser light to your skin. Most people describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap – similar to the feeling of a rubber band lightly flicking the skin.
A session typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.
What should I expect after treatment?
There is little to no downtime, though you might notice some redness or mild swelling right after the procedure, which usually fades within a day or two. Improvement is typically seen 2-4 weeks after initial treatment. Most patients may need a series of treatments for best results. Your provider will help you decide the best treatment option for you.
It is important to avoid sun exposure for 2-3 weeks before and after treatment to prevent complications and achieve the best possible results. If your skin is tanned, the treatment is unable to be performed, so it’s essential to protect your skin from the sun leading up to your appointment.
What are the risks?
Excel V+ is a safe, FDA-cleared treatment, but like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects. These may include:
- Temporary redness or swelling
- Mild tenderness or warmth in the treated area
- In rare cases, temporary skin darkening or lightening
