The Excel V laser system is a powerful laser for treating vascular skin conditions such as rosacea, spider veins and red scars, as well as pigmented lesions, on both the face and legs.

Its high-power green laser targets abnormal blood vessels and pigment in the skin with ultra precision. As these vessels or pigment cells are targeted, they are eliminated and the skin returns to its natural colour and tone.

How Excel V works

Vascular concerns like blushing, flushing, vessels and veins on the face or legs can be obvious and unwelcome. The Excel V laser targets red, purple and blue facial and leg veins, treating a wide range of vascular concerns.

The system uses a unique high-power green laser that is absorbed by abnormal blood vessels in the skin. The laser heats the abnormal vessels, ultimately restoring normal skin tone and colour. It incorporates the latest innovations in cooling technology to keep you comfortable, and side effects are usually mild and short-lived.

In as few as 1 to 3 treatments, unwanted vessels and veins are reduced, and symptoms like flushing and blushing are managed.

Benefits of Excel V

Excel V treatment can be finely adjusted so that the level of treatment matches your specific skin condition.

The system has several wavelength modes, delivering short pulses for superficial blemishes, such as small lesions and skin discolouration, and longer pulses for deeper vascular conditions, such as leg veins and nodular port-wine stains. It also offers a wide range of laser spot sizes, so small areas can be targeted with greater precision and larger areas treated in less time.

This high level of customization is what makes Excel V so effective at treating so many different conditions, often in one session, which in the past would have required several different systems or procedures.

Frequently asked questions

How many sessions are needed to achieve results?

The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated, your individual skin and the amount of downtime you have available. Some patients see results after just one session, while others need more. At your consultation, Dr. Rao will tell you approximately how many sessions to expect for optimal results.

Is the treatment painful?

Like other lasers, the Excel V laser fires a quick pulse of light that typically feels like a rubber band snapping on the skin. Its built-in cooling system reduces this discomfort, so an anesthetic is not necessary and treatments are more comfortable.

Many patients find Excel V one of the most comfortable laser treatments available. If you are concerned about pain, talk to Dr. Rao before your treatment so we can make your experience as comfortable as possible.

What are the side effects of Excel V?

Excel V has minimal side effects. The most common is redness or swelling in the treated areas, and in rare cases bruising may occur. These side effects should not be serious and often resolve within a few days.
