Excel V+ Laser for Redness and Rosacea Treatment
The Excel V+ laser is the most cutting-edge technology for redness and rosacea treatment. It acts on the skin by releasing yellow light. This light is absorbed by the blood vessels which coagulate and then our body resorbs them. The Excel V+ laser is effectively used to eliminate small red blood vessels, redness and rosacea in 3 to 4 sessions. It also reduces flushing which is typically caused by rosacea.
The advantage of Excel V+ laser for redness and rosacea treatment in comparison with other existing procedures is significant since it selectively acts on blood vessels without damaging peripheral tissue. This laser is the most effective technique to treat redness and rosacea.
Laser Treatment for Rosacea
Rosacea Treatment
Rosacea is a condition characterized by the presence of erythema or redness on the skin. Rosacea treatments must be customized to each patients type of rosacea. The different types are:
- Erythematous rosacea: mainly redness and dilated blood vessels.
- Papulopustular rosacea: redness with acne-like bumps.
- Ocular rosacea: redness and burning of the eyes.
- Phymatous Rosacea: skin thickening, usually on the nose.
Reduction of Redness
The Excel V+ laser's wavelength can effectively target and coagulate the blood vessels causing redness, reducing overall redness and flushing associated with rosacea. This can lead to a more even skin tone and a reduction in the appearance of red patches.
Precise and Targeted Treatment:
The Excel V+ laser is designed to specifically target the blood vessels causing redness and visible veins associated with rosacea. This precision minimizes damage to surrounding tissues and maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment.
Minimal Downtime
One of the advantages of the Excel V+ laser is its ability to provide results with minimal downtime. While some patients might experience mild redness or swelling immediately after the treatment, it usually subsides within a day or two, allowing individuals to return to their regular activities quickly.
Stimulation of Collagen Production
Beyond addressing visible blood vessels and redness, the Excel V+ laser can stimulate collagen production in the skin. This collagen remodeling can lead to improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and an overall rejuvenated appearance over time.
Rosacea Treatment Benefits
Laser for redness and rosacea treatment
The Excel V+ laser is the most advanced vascular pulsed dye laser on the market. Only the most advanced dermatology clinics offer this laser. It is used to treat redness and dilated blood vessels under the skin. The laser creates light that passes through the skin’s top layer. This heats and destroys the abnormal blood vessels. In contrast to IPL or intense pulsed light that treats many different skin conditions but does none of them really well, the excel V+ laser only treats reds and browns and does it very well. IPL is typically referred to as the” jack of all trades, master of none.” Excel V+ laser is a powerful laser to only target red or brown spots to perfection.
This treatment allows redness and flushing to be reduced by more than 50 percent. It can also eliminate tiny red blood vessels on the face, around the nose, or on the body. It can even eliminate larger green veins in some cases.
Rosacea Treatment
How does the Excel V+ Laser help with Redness and Rosacea Treatment?
The Excel V+ laser coagulates the small blood vessels that make the skin appear red or flush. Coagulated blood is removed by our body’s cleansing system through the macrophages’ response. The Excel V+ laser treatment for redness takes approximately 60 minutes. Four sessions are recommended, with 1-month intervals.
Before the procedure – A careful analysis of your skin will be performed by our team of experts and our on-site Dermatologist. We will create a detailed treatment plan to treat all your skin concerns. Do not expose the treatment area to the sun or use a self-tanner for 2 weeks prior to the treatment.
During the procedure – Our educated, experienced, and licensed laser technicians will explain all pre and post-treatment instructions. The Excel V+ handpiece is used on the areas to be treated. The cooling handpiece provides a soothing effect to minimize any discomfort.
After the procedure – Your skin may feel “hot” after the laser treatment. This is normal and will resolve in 1-2 days. It is recommended to avoid applying any moisturizer until the heat sensation has resolved. Mild swelling may occur immediately after the treatment. Patients can use a cold compress for 20-minute intervals for the remainder of the day. If swelling becomes significant or worse throughout the day, it is recommended to take an antihistamine for the next 3 days post-treatment. Rarely a bruise can appear in localized areas. This is normal and will resolve in 4-5 days.
