award-winning Excel V

Discover the award-winning Excel V that reduces or eliminates vascular areas and red/brown skin conditions (resurfaces)

Vascular lesions are the result of numerous or large vessels that form directly underneath the skin. This usually results in a red appearance in the skin since the vessels can be visible through the skin. These lesions occur in many sizes, shapes and forms all over the body including spider veins, broken capillaries, acne scars, age or sun spots, and even rosacea. Vascular skin conditions or skin pigmentation disorders can often be distressing and cause embarrassment or mental strife.

With the award-winning Excel V Asheville patients can eliminate unsightly vascular or pigmentation lesions and skin can be returned to it’s natural color and tone. Excel V is the only solid state laser system incorporating two super-precise laser wavelengths (532/1064 nm) in one easy-to-use device.

How does the Excel-V work?

Excel V, which was developed by Cutera, is a new laser system for providing treatment of a variety of vascular skin conditions.

Many skin conditions manifest in the form of broken or abnormal blood vessels in the skin, such is the case with rosacea, in which the facial blood vessels dilate excessively causing redness and flushing. Excel V treats these conditions by administering a unique high power green laser that is absorbed by the abnormal blood vessels in the skin. The laser heats the abnormal vessels until they are removed. At the end of treatment, the patient’s natural skin tone and color are restored.

What are the benefits of the Excel-V compared to other treatments?

The benefit of Excel V is that the treatment can be highly adjusted to ensure that the physician is delivering a level of treatment that specifically matches the patient’s skin condition.

The system contains various wavelength modes, allowing the delivery of both short pulses for superficial blemishes, such as small lesions and skin discoloration, 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 to ensure that small treatment areas can be targeted at greater precision and larger areas can be treated in a shorter period. This high level of customization is what makes Excel V so effective at treating, often in one session, so many different conditions, which, in the past, would have required several different systems or procedures.

How is the procedure performed?

After an initial consultation with the patient, the physician determines if treatment with the Excel V is appropriate. Unlike other procedures, injections or topical anesthesia are not required throughout the duration of the 15 – 30 minute procedure. Depending on the condition, the physician places the Excel V hand piece over the affected areas of the skin until the abnormal vessels diminish. To minimize discomfort and protect the patient’s skin, the Excel V uses a proprietary cooling mechanism.
