We love Excel V+ for the impressive results we can achieve with it for redness, rosacea, and vascular treatments.
Excel V+ uses targeted laser wavelengths to address redness concerns effectively. It breaks down pigmented cells, seals off unwanted vessels, and stimulates collagen production, resulting in a more even, youthful complexion.
By using advanced laser technology, Excel V+ delivers precise energy to pigmented and vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding skin. This process stimulates collagen renewal, improves skin texture, and naturally reduces discoloration. Over time, the skin becomes clearer, smoother, and more evenly toned.
Many patients notice improvements in redness, pigmentation, and texture after their first session. More significant changes usually occur after multiple treatments.
You may experience redness, ranging from slight to more significant redness with some swelling on the following day, depending on the setting that we use.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort described as a warm or tingling sensation. Higher settings may cause heightened sensations.
When your skin fully gets back to normal, usually 1-4 days.
Excel V+ is suitable for a wide range of ages. Consult with your specialist to determine if it’s the right option for you.
