Achieve clearer, more even-looking skin with excel® V+, an advanced laser platform designed to address redness, visible veins, pigmentation, and overall skin quality. At Dr. Kaga’s practice in Marlboro and East Brunswick, NJ, excel V+ treatments are customized to your skin and the specific concerns you want to improve.
One of the advantages of excel V+ is its versatility. Rather than treating every discoloration or visible vessel the same way, the platform allows our team to customize treatment for concerns ranging from rosacea and facial redness to spider veins, age spots, scars, and signs of aging.
What is excel® V+?
excel V+ by Cutera is a versatile laser system designed for vascular concerns, pigmentation, and skin revitalization.
Because redness, brown spots, visible vessels, and changes in skin quality can have very different causes, excel V+ gives our team multiple treatment options within a single platform. This allows your treatment to be selected based on what is actually contributing to your skin concern rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
What does excel® V+ address?
excel V+ can address a broad range of concerns on the face and body, including:
- Rosacea and persistent facial redness
- Diffuse redness
- Facial and leg veins
- Broken capillaries
- Veins around the eyes
- Cherry angiomas and other vascular lesions
- Port-wine stains
- Venous lakes and certain venous concerns
- Poikiloderma and sun-related redness
- Age spots and brown spots
- Other appropriate benign pigmented lesions
- Inflammatory acne
- Acne scars and certain other scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and overall skin quality
Not every red or brown spot should automatically be treated with a laser. Our team will evaluate your skin first to determine whether excel V+ is appropriate for the concern.provider will create a custom treatment plan just for you.
excel® V+ for redness and rosacea
Persistent redness is one of the areas where excel V+ really stands out. Treatment can target the visible vessels contributing to redness rather than simply trying to conceal them.
For appropriate patients, excel V+ may help improve rosacea-related redness, diffuse facial redness, broken capillaries, visible vessels around the nose and cheeks, and other vascular discoloration.
excel® V+ for brown spots and pigmentation
excel V+ can also target appropriate brown pigmentation, including age spots and certain sun-related discoloration.
The treatment is customized according to the type and appearance of the pigmentation. Treated spots may temporarily become darker before gradually fading or flaking as the skin clears them.
Because not every pigmented lesion is appropriate for cosmetic laser treatment, any new, changing, irregular, or concerning spot should be medically evaluated first.
Laser Genesis and Green Genesis
excel V+ also gives us options for patients who want broader improvement in their complexion rather than treatment of a single visible vessel or spot.
Laser Genesis is a gentle skin revitalization treatment that can help improve redness, fine lines, scars, enlarged pores, texture, and overall skin quality while stimulating collagen remodeling.
Green Genesis is particularly useful when superficial redness and visible red or brown discoloration are the primary concerns.
Depending on your skin, one treatment may be recommended on its own, or different excel V+ capabilities may be incorporated into a customized skin rejuvenation plan.
Why choose excel® V+?
The biggest advantage of excel V+ is that it can address very different concerns with one highly customizable platform.
Benefits may include:
- Treatment of both vascular and pigmentation concerns
- Improvement in facial and body redness
- Treatment of superficial and deeper visible vessels
- Targeted treatment of individual spots or larger areas
- Skin revitalization with Laser Genesis and Green Genesis
- Customizable treatment based on your skin and concern
- Short in-office treatment sessions
- Minimal downtime for many treatments
Rather than choosing excel V+ simply because you have “redness” or “pigmentation,” our team can determine which type of treatment is most appropriate for what we’re seeing in your skin.
What can I expect during treatment?
Your appointment begins with an evaluation of the area you’d like to treat. Your provider will then customize the excel V+ treatment based on the type, color, depth, and location of your concern.
During treatment, you may feel brief warmth or a snapping sensation as the laser is delivered. Cooling technology helps keep the skin comfortable throughout the procedure.
Many treatments can be completed in approximately 10 to 30 minutes, although your appointment length will depend on the size and number of areas being treated.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of excel V+ treatments varies depending on what you’re treating.
Some isolated vascular or pigmented concerns may improve significantly after a small number of sessions, while rosacea, diffuse redness, scars, or broader skin rejuvenation goals may benefit from a series of treatments.
Your provider will recommend a treatment schedule after evaluating your skin rather than automatically prescribing the same number of sessions for everyone.
Is there downtime after excel® V+?
Downtime depends on the type and intensity of treatment performed. Many patients can return to their usual activities soon afterward.
Temporary redness, warmth, or swelling can occur. When brown spots are treated, they may temporarily darken before gradually fading or flaking away. Vascular treatments can also produce temporary changes in the appearance of the treated vessels as the area heals.
We’ll provide specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment, including guidance on sun protection.
