Excel V is the gold standard in treating these common vascular concerns. The number of treatments varies with the individual and the condition and we recommend a consultation to determine your individual program.
How does Excel V work?
Excel V is a new laser system for providing treatment of a variety of vascular and benign pigmented skin conditions. Many skin conditions manifest in the form of broken or abnormal blood vessels in the skin, as is the case with rosacea, in which the facial blood vessels dilate excessively causing redness and flushing.
Excel V treats vascular 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 causing the vein walls to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the vessels will no longer be visible. Several treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired result.
What specific conditions does Excel V treat?
Excel V has been shown effective at treating a number of conditions, including rosacea, spider veins, leg veins, port wine stains, cherry angiomas and benign pigmented lesions such as sun spots. Excel V treats mild and severe forms of these conditions. There may also be a cosmetic benefit for patients who have skin lesions or scars from past injuries or surgeries.
What can I expect from this procedure?
After an initial consultation, your physician will determine if treatment with the Excel V is appropriate. Unlike other procedures, injections or topical anaesthesia are not required throughout the duration of the 15 –30 minute procedure. Depending on the condition, the physician passes the Excel V handpiece over the affected areas of the skin until the abnormal vessels diminish. To minimize discomfort and protect the skin, the Excel V uses a proprietary cooling mechanism.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments depends on various parameters, including the size, thickness and colour of the vascular lesion. Superficial vascular lesions are usually easiest to treat; some patients might see significant improvement after just one treatment. Since individual results vary, ask your medical professional about your specific condition.
Do the treatments hurt?
Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece. Although no local anaesthesia or pain medication is typically required, some patients opt to use a topical aesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, discomfort is minimal to non-existent.
What are the possible side effects?
Although many patients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and swelling of the skin. Some patients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
When will I see results?
Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent for several months.
