If you’ve ever felt like your face turns red at the slightest trigger – sun, heat, stress, a glass of wine, spicy food – you’re not alone. Facial redness is one of the most common skin concerns we encounter at Miami Beach Laser & Aesthetics. And while makeup can cover it, and skincare can calm it, lasting relief often requires something more targeted.
Enter: The excel V+ by Cutera, a laser designed to treat redness at its root by targeting the tiny blood vessels and inflammation beneath the surface.
This isn’t just a “skin tone” treatment. It’s a confidence treatment!
Why Facial Redness Happens
Redness can arise from a variety of causes, such as:
- Rosacea
- Broken capillaries/telangiectasias
- Sun damage
- Persistent flushing
- Post-inflammatory redness (after breakouts)
- Thin or sensitive skin
- Genetics
Most of these issues stem from overactive or damaged blood vessels, which sit just beneath the skin’s surface and create a constant (or easily triggered) pink or red appearance. The excel V+ targets those vessels directly.
How excel V+ Targets Redness at the Source
The excel V+ uses precision laser wavelengths (532 nm & 1064 nm) to selectively heat and collapse the tiny blood vessels responsible for facial redness, without damaging the surrounding skin. Over time, the body clears those vessels and the redness fades.
- Less visible flushing
- Reduced overall redness
- Fewer broken capillaries
- Calmer, more even skin tone
- A healthier-looking complexion
- Less need for concealer or color-correcting makeup
Who is an excel V+ Redness Treatment For?
This treatment is ideal if you experience:
✔ Chronic redness
✔ Rosacea flare-ups
✔ Visible capillaries around the nose or cheeks
✔ A flushed, blotchy complexion
✔ Sun-damaged, reactive skin
✔ “Red marks” left behind after acne
Even if you’ve tried everything from prescription creams to calming skincare, the excel V+ works at a level topical products simply can’t reach.
What to Expect With Treatment
Most patients describe it as:
- Quick
- Warm
- Mild “snaps” or pulses
- Completely tolerable
There is little to no downtime with this treatment. Some patients may experience minimal redness and swelling, which dissipates after a few hours. Broken capillaries often disappear immediately. Diffuse redness improves gradually over several sessions.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
For generalized facial redness or rosacea:
- 3–4 treatments spaced one month apart is typical
- Results continue to improve for weeks after each session
- Many patients schedule a maintenance treatment 1–2 times a year (especially in sunny climates like Miami)
Broken capillaries may only need one treatment.
The Bottom Line
If you’re tired of constantly looking flushed, battling rosacea, or covering redness with makeup, the Cutera excel V+ is one of the most effective and reliable treatments available. It doesn’t just calm redness…it transforms it.
Your skin looks clearer. Your tone looks more even. And your confidence follows!
For years, plumped-up, overfilled faces were a major trend, but today’s beauty standards are shifting toward natural, more balanced results. If you’ve been hesitant about injectables because of the “puffy” look, here’s why modern-day aesthetics are all about subtle enhancement.
1. Less Is More
Overfilling the face can create an unnatural, distorted appearance. The goal now is to enhance natural features, instead of dramatically altering them. Strategic injections can restore volume without excess fullness.
2. A Focus on Facial Harmony
Rather than simply adding volume, expert injectors use techniques
like contouring and structural support to create natural-looking
definition. This approach prevents the “pillow face” effect.
3. Dissolving Overdone Filler Is Common
Many people who previously overdid fillers are now choosing
hyaluronidase treatments to dissolve excess product and start fresh
with a more refined look.
4. The Rise of Skin Health Treatments
Patients are prioritizing skin quality over excessive filler use. Treatments such as laser skin rejuvenation, microneedling, and collagen-stimulating injectables (like Radiesse and Sculptra) provide a natural glow without over-plumping.
5. Choosing the Right Injector Matters
A skilled provider understands the balance between volume restoration and facial structure. Customizing treatments to fit your face shape prevents an overfilled look.
The takeaway? A natural, refreshed look is always in style. If you
