CUTERA® Excel® V+ Laser
Some people were blessed with blemish-free skin that looks smooth without much effort. Others must invest in expensive skincare and makeup to conceal issues such as pigmentation and redness. This can be quite troublesome for many, especially when you don’t have the time (or skill) for it. In these circumstances, the CUTERA® Excel® V+ laser can be a great ally, as it encourages healthy and clear skin. At Hotchandani Laser, Vein & Cosmetic Surgery, we offer this procedure to women and men looking to address visible skin concerns.
Excel V+ Laser is used extensively by Dr. Hotchandani to resolve spider veins on other areas of the body, mostly legs-eyelids. Spider veins on legs with 1064 wavelength usually require multiple sessions, at times in conjunction with sclerotherapy or micro-phlebectomy to provide broad coverage of spider veins as it is a major concern for our clients.
CUTERA® Excel® V+ laser can address various skin imperfections, meaning that almost anyone can benefit from the procedure. Whether you want to reduce issues like vascular lesions, hyperpigmentation, redness, and even acne scars, CUTERA® Excel® V+ can help improve your skin tone. The procedure is also quite effective for those dealing with rosacea and facial veins, offering a non-invasive solution for smooth skin.
The ideal candidate for CUTERA® Excel® V+ should have realistic expectations of the results. While Excel® V+ has a 50 percent higher output than its predecessor, Excel® V, the treatment works with your body’s healing system. Patients with severe redness and pigmentation might need to commit to multiple treatments to obtain the desired effect.
Patients getting this treatment should not be pregnant or have active skin infections (e.g., severe acne), as this can leave undesirable effects. Certain medications can also increase photosensitivity, so talk with Dr. Hotchandani first. The Excel® V+ laser is adaptable, which means that anyone can try it out, regardless of skin type or tone.
CUTERA® Excel® V+ laser targets thin blood vessels underneath the skin. The treatment uses dual wavelengths (532nm and 1064nm), targeting skin concerns at different depths, depending on their severity. This makes the procedure effective for superficial imperfections and deep-rooted lesions.
Once the laser is applied to the skin, it is absorbed by the melanin or blood vessels (depending on the area you treat). The laser’s energy is ultimately converted into heat, which breaks down the unwanted pigments or blood vessels. After the pigmented cells are separated from the healthy ones, the body will start its natural elimination process, clearing these cells and making space for the healthier ones.
The CUTERA® Excel® V+ laser has an integrated cooling system meant to increase patient comfort. This eliminates the need for anesthesia, which some patients may be sensitive to. The applicators of the treatment can be used to treat small and large areas alike, the adjustable output making them also efficient for sensitive skin.
