more power, precision, and comfort than ever before.
The excel V+ treats a wide range of skin concerns: facial redness, rosacea, facial veins,
periorbital veins, angiomas, port wine stains, broken capillaries, poikiloderma (chronic sun

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the excel V+ laser work?
The excel V+ uses two ultra-precise wavelengths (532nm / 1064nm) and multiple operating
modes to safely and effectively treat not just surface concerns, but deeper vascular and
pigment conditions, with optimized settings for each skin tone and concern.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see visible improvement after just one session, but optimal results are usually
achieved with a series of 1–6 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number
depends on your specific concerns—such as redness, veins, or pigmentation—and your skin’s
response. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year can help keep your skin clear and even.
What is the downtime after treatment?
Downtime with the excel V+ is minimal. Most patients experience mild redness or swelling that
fades within 24–48 hours. Brown spots may darken temporarily before flaking off and treated
veins or redness fade gradually over 1–3 weeks. Makeup can be worn the next day, and normal
activities can resume immediately with proper sun protection.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice a visible improvement in redness or pigmentation within a few days to a
week after treatment. Brown spots may darken before naturally fading over 1–3 weeks, while
vascular lesions continue to improve as the body clears them. Skin tone and clarity typically
keep improving over the following weeks, with best results seen after completing the full
treatment series.
What are the benefits compared with other treatment options?
Because of its dual wavelengths and adjustable modes, the excel V+ allows us to handle both
superficial blemishes and deeper vascular/pigment issues in fewer sessions, and with better
precision and comfort. We can tailor larger spots with wide pulses or zoom in for fine vessels
and spots.
What skin types does the Excel V+ treat?
All skin types (Fitzpatrick I through VI) can be treated. We use the 532nm for lighter tone skin
types I–IV and safely switch to the 1064nm mode for skin types IV–VI to ensure safe, effective
results without undue pigment risk.
