Discover the Benefits of the Excel V Laser at Absolute Dermatology

At Absolute Dermatology, we are committed to offering the most advanced and effective treatments for your skin concerns. One of our most powerful tools is the Excel V laser, a versatile and cutting-edge technology designed to treat a wide range of skin conditions with precision and safety.

What is the Excel V Laser?

The Excel V laser is an advanced aesthetic laser that combines two wavelengths (532 nm and 1064 nm) to effectively target and treat various vascular and pigmented lesions. Developed by Cutera, this laser is known for its ability to treat conditions such as rosacea, spider veins, sun damage, and more. It is also effective for skin revitalization and improving overall skin tone and texture.

How Does Excel V Work?

The Excel V laser works by delivering high-powered laser energy to the skin. The two different wavelengths allow the laser to precisely target blood vessels and pigmented areas without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue. The laser energy is absorbed by the abnormal blood vessels or pigmentation, causing them to collapse and gradually be absorbed by the body, resulting in clearer, more even-toned skin.

Conditions Treated by Excel V

The Excel V laser is a versatile tool that can address a variety of skin concerns, including

  • Rosacea: Reduces redness and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea. This can be used in combination with topical treatment and in some cases can replace the need for topical medications.
  • Spider Veins: Effectively treats small, visible veins on the face and body.
  • Sun Damage: Targets brown spots and hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure.
  • Port Wine Stains: Lightens the appearance of port wine birthmarks.
  • Leg Veins: Treats small leg veins with minimal discomfort and downtime.
  • Age Spots and Freckles: Fades unwanted pigmentation for a more even complexion.
  • Angiomas and Hemangiomas: Reduces the appearance of red or purple growths on the skin

Benefits of Excel V Treatment

Choosing Excel V laser treatment at Absolute Dermatologuy comes with numerous benefits:

  • Non-Invasive: The procedure is non-invasive, meaning there is no need for incisions or surgery.
  • Minimal Downtime: Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
  • Customizable: The dual wavelength system allows for tailored treatments based on individual skin types and concerns.
  • Precision: The Excel V targets only the affected areas, leaving the surrounding skin untouched.
  • Comfortable: The laser system includes a cooling mechanism to enhance patient comfort during treatment.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During the procedure, the laser handpiece is passed over the targeted areas, delivering precise bursts of energy. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, and the integrated cooling system helps minimize discomfort

After treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. Over the next few weeks, the treated veins or pigmented areas will gradually fade. Depending on the severity of your condition, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve the best results.

If you're struggling with any of the skin conditions mentioned above and are looking for a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment option, the Excel V laser might be the perfect solution for you.
