Administered by our PHI Clinic trained professionals, Excel V+ is a laser treatment that targets a wide range of conditions that this treatment can address includes facial redness, rosacea, port wine stains, leg veins, keloid scars, sun damage pigmentation, and venous lakes (purple lesions on the lips).
What is Excel V+?
The Excel V+ combines two precise laser wavelengths in one device to enable treatment of a wide variety of conditions, whether superficial or deeper problems. The Excel V+ laser treatment by Cutera focuses on addressing various skin issues, such as redness, age spots, and acne scars. This non-invasive and adaptable solution aims to help you attain smoother, clearer skin that displays improved evenness in both tone and texture.
Excel V+ is a treatment used by trained professionals to reduce the symptoms of rosacea, facial redness and blood vessels. With Excel V+, treatment sessions are fast and effective with minimal downtime for the patient. The entire treatment time can range anywhere from 30 - 60 minutes depending on the severity of the condition or area being treated.
How Does Excel V+ Work?
Excel V+ utilises laser technology to achieve these results. The specifics of how the treatment works can vary based on the exact technology used in the Excel V+ system, but in general, laser treatments like this work by emitting intense beams of light that target specific chromophores (target molecules) in the skin, such as hemoglobin (for vascular conditions) or melanin (for pigmented lesions).
The energy from the laser is absorbed by these chromophores, leading to various effects:
Vascular Conditions: In the case of vascular conditions, the laser energy can heat and damage the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body, leading to a reduction in the appearance of redness or visible blood vessels.
Pigmented Lesions: For pigmented lesions, the laser energy can break down the excess melanin in the skin, which then gets naturally cleared away by the body, leading to a reduction in the appearance of dark spots.
Collagen Stimulation: Additionally, the heat generated by the laser can stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin. Increased collagen production can lead to improvements in skin texture, tone, and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
Benefits of Excel V+
With minimal risk, Excel V+ provides a powerful approach to reducing the visibility of facial redness, rosacea and restoring natural radiance. It is designed to treat a variety of vascular lesions such as leg veins, port wine stains, thread veins, and facial veins. A personalised treatment plan is formulated with your individual needs in mind to maximise results for long-lasting relief from diffuse redness.
Excel V+ utilises an advanced laser technology which allows it to target specific vessels without damaging surrounding skin. This patented technique enables more consistent results than traditional methods while also providing superior safety. Furthermore, the treatment can be tailored according to each patient's unique condition providing greater customisation for optimal results.
The duration of each session varies depending on the area of concern but can take from 30-60 minutes in some cases. Patients may need several sessions for best outcomes as advised by their healthcare provider based on their individual needs or desired result levels. Touch up treatments may be required occasionally due to new vessel formation or existing vessel recurrence over time.
Overall, Excel V+ offers a safe and reliable solution for reducing the visibility of rosacea symptoms like flushing, blushing, hand swelling or burning sensations that come with this condition – without any downtime or recovery period associated with it. With its minimal risks compared to other treatments available and proven success rate, this non-invasive therapy should definitely be considered when seeking relief from rosacea symptoms.
Side Effects of Excel V+
Although Excel V+ is generally safe, there may be some side effects that you should be aware of before undergoing treatment. Common side effects include minor redness and slight swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. Other potential side effects can include discolouration such as brown spots or spider veins. Fortunately, these can usually be treated with other effective treatments if needed.
Excel V+ has been proven to effectively reduce the appearance of age spots, acne scars, cherry angiomas, sun damage and visible veins without causing permanent damage or pigmentation changes in the surrounding area. The duration of results varies based on individual factors such as lifestyle habits and how quickly your body metabolises the product - generally lasting anywhere from 3-6 months depending on these factors.
