What does Excel V+ treat?

Excel V+ can treat a wide range of skin conditions, including:

• Facial veins & broken capillaries (telangiectasia)
• Rosacea & generalized facial redness
• Spider veins & reticular veins (commonly seen on the legs)
• Cherry angiomas & venous lakes
• Brown spots & sun damage
• Acne & acne scars
• Melasma (in select cases)
• Enlarged pores & uneven skin texture
• Small area hair removal

What happens during treatment?

We complete a thorough skin assessment, and based on your concerns we create a customized treatment plan. Your skin is first cleaned and prepped, your eyes are covered with our safety goggles, and then we begin your treatment. Average treatment time can range anywhere between 15 - 30 minutes, but could take up to an hour, depending on the size and number of areas being addressed.

What does it feel like? Does it hurt?

Discomfort is minimal. Spot treatments may feel like a tiny pinch, or a quick snap of a rubber band. The advanced technology of our lasers provides a cooling mechanism during the treatment. Therefore, any immediate ‘snapping’ is mediated by cooling and comfort. No numbing is required, and most patients find the experience very tolerable.

Is there any downtime?

Every patient responds differently to the treatment. The most common skin response to Excel V+ includes a slight swelling and redness to the treated area, with more sensitive areas having a more colorful response. For example, any treatment around the eyes may swell more than treatment around the jaw. Swelling can range from mild redness to hive-like marks. We say the swelling may last up to a week (for those occasional patients with a more adverse sensitivity), but for the majority of patients - this isn’t the case. Most see a reduction of swelling and redness within 1-3 days after treatment. For pigment treatments, spots may temporarily darken before flaking off naturally. Most patients resume regular activities right away, including work, errands, or even a workout.

When will I see results?

Results develop gradually, depending on the skin issue being treated. Many people begin noticing improvements after just one treatment, but a series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results. Your skin will continue to improve as collagen production increases in the weeks following each treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

That depends on your individual skin goals and the condition being treated. Some concerns may respond well to a single session, while others benefit most from a customized treatment series spaced several weeks apart. We will help you create a plan that works for your skin and schedule.

• Pigmentation: 1–4 treatments
• Vascular concerns (like veins and redness): 1–4 treatments
• Skin rejuvenation: 3–4 treatments
