Excel V Laser Treatments at SEO JEONG
What Is Excel V Laser?
The Excel V laser is a cutting-edge, dual-wavelength (532nm KTP and 1064nm Nd:YAG) laser system manufactured by Cutera. This advanced technology allows it to treat a wide range of vascular (red) and pigmented (brown) skin conditions, often in a single treatment. Its intelligent design incorporates real-time calibration and a built-in cooling system, ensuring precise energy delivery, optimal efficacy, and enhanced patient comfort and safety.
How Excel V Laser Works:
The Excel V's dual wavelengths target different chromophores (light-absorbing targets) in the skin:
- 532nm (KTP) wavelength: Primarily absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (in blood vessels) and melanin (in pigmented spots). It's ideal for superficial vascular lesions and various pigmented lesions.
- 1064nm (Nd:YAG) wavelength: Penetrates deeper into the skin, making it effective for larger, deeper blood vessels and for stimulating collagen in a gentler mode.
By selectively heating and destroying these targets, the Excel V laser effectively removes unwanted redness, brown spots, and small vessels without damaging the surrounding healthy skin.
Our Comprehensive Excel V Laser Solutions:
At SEO JEONG Dermatology, we utilize the powerful and versatile Excel V laser to provide a wide range of treatments. Your dermatologist will create a personalized plan during your consultation.
1. Vascular Lesion Treatment (Redness & Veins):
- Mechanism: The laser energy is precisely absorbed by the hemoglobin in blood vessels, causing them to coagulate and fade without damaging surrounding skin.
- Benefits: Highly effective for treating various vascular concerns, including:
- Rosacea (Facial Redness): Reduces diffuse redness and visible blood vessels.
- Spider Veins (Telangiectasias): Eliminates small, superficial red, blue, or purple veins on the face and legs.
- Cherry Angiomas: Removes small, bright red benign skin growths.
- Port Wine Stains & Hemangiomas: Improves the appearance of certain birthmarks.
- Poikiloderma of Civatte: Addresses redness and brown discoloration on the neck and chest.
2. Pigmented Lesion Treatment (Brown Spots):
- Mechanism: The 532nm wavelength is absorbed by melanin in pigmented spots, causing the pigment to shatter and lighten.
- Benefits: Excellent for removing:
- Sun Spots (Lentigines) & Age Spots: Eliminates discrete brown spots caused by sun exposure.
- Freckles: Reduces the appearance of freckles.
- Cafe-au-lait Macules: Improves certain birthmarks.
3. Skin Rejuvenation & Texture Improvement:
- Mechanism: The 1064nm wavelength can be used in a gentle "Genesis" mode to deliver bulk heating to the dermis, stimulating collagen production and remodeling.
- Benefits: Improves overall skin texture, reduces fine lines, minimizes enlarged pores, and gives the skin a healthier, more vibrant glow. Can be combined with other treatments.
4. Scar Revision (Red Scars):
- Mechanism: Targets the vascular component of new, red scars (e.g., surgical scars, acne scars, stretch marks) to reduce redness and promote better healing.
- Benefits: Minimizes the red appearance of hypertrophic scars and keloids, helping them to flatten and blend more effectively.

Treatment Day Process β‘:

- Application of topical numbing cream (optional for some treatments, but often used for comfort).
- Protective eyewear will be provided.
- Treatment (15-45 minutes, depending on area and concern):
- Your dermatologist will apply the Excel V handpiece to the skin. The device's integrated cooling will provide a burst of cool air before and after each laser pulse.
- You will feel a sensation often described as a mild rubber band snap or a warm prickling.
- Post-Treatment (10-15 minutes):
- Application of soothing and healing balms or cool compresses to calm the skin.
- Review of immediate post-treatment appearance and what to expect during recovery.

Results & Recovery
Immediate Post-Treatment:
- Vascular Lesions: Treated vessels may immediately blanch (turn white), darken, or appear slightly purplish (bruising-like effect) before gradually fading.
- Pigmented Lesions: Treated spots will typically darken immediately, looking like coffee grounds.
- Redness & Swelling: Mild redness and swelling in the treated area are common, usually subsiding within a few hours to a day.
Timeline Expectations π :
- Day 1-7 (Initial Healing):
- Redness and swelling quickly resolve.
- Darkened pigmented spots will gradually flake off over 5-10 days on the face, and 2-3 weeks on the body.
- Bruising from vascular treatments fades over 1-2 weeks.
- Week 2-4 (Initial Improvement):
- Significant fading of targeted vascular and pigmented lesions becomes noticeable.
- Month 1-3+ (Progressive Improvement & Series of Treatments):
- Optimal results for most concerns (rosacea, spider veins, sun spots) require a series of sessions (typically 2-4, spaced 4-6 weeks apart for vascular; 1-3 for pigment).
- Skin texture and tone continue to improve.
Duration of Results β³:
- Results from Excel V treatments are generally long-lasting. For removed spots or veins, they are permanently gone.
- However, new sun exposure can lead to new pigment, and new vessels can form over time, especially with conditions like rosacea. Maintenance treatments or good sun protection are crucial to optimize and maintain improvements.

Rare but Serious Complications:
