What is Cutera Excel V + Laser
How Does Excel V+ Work?
The laser utilizes two clinically proven wavelengths of light to bring about “controlled damage” to the targeted treatment area. Laser energy pulses convert into heat energy, promoting blood clotting and coagulation within the vein. Resultantly, the vessels collapse, seal off from other vessels, and are resorbed gradually by the body. Collateral blood flow rerouts to deeper veins, and the skin regains its natural color.

Anticipated Results
In General, brown general, brown spots/lesions/freckles, will initially become darker for 7-10 days, then sough-off naturally, leaving behind lighter, natural tone skin. Small red vessels may disappear immediately, while larger, feeder vessels may appear “matted” or bruised until the vessel is absorbed by the body. A series of treatments will most likely be required to reach optimal results. Results will vary, depending upon the severity of the skin condition.
