Excel V™ is a high-powered laser used to target red, blue, purple and brown veins and pigmented skin lesions. The treatment works by affecting blood cells within abnormal blood vessels and pigment in dark skin spots, which the body then naturally eliminates over time.
Excel V™ laser can be used on areas of the face and body.
Results range from immediate to gradual, depending on the treatment area and/or condition being treated. Regular treatments will help to maintain results
- Avoid excessive sun exposure or fake tanning for two to four weeks prior
- Cease taking blood thinning medication and supplements including fish oil and St John’s-wort to minimise the risk of bruising
- Consider taking natural supplements or antiviral medication for prevention if you are prone to cold sores
Advise your clinician if you:
- Are currently undergoing, or have undergone, isotretinoin treatment or with drugs in a similar class within the last six months
- Are undergoing gold therapy
Note: do not cease prescribed medications without first consulting with your general practitioner.
Prior to your first treatment, your clinician will consult with you to assess your suitability and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.
During the treatment, a cooling gel will be placed on the treatment area, before the laser is glided over. No anaesthetic is required with most clients describing the treatment as relaxing.
Protective eyewear must be worn at all times and your mouth must remain closed to avoid potential teeth and eye damage from direct exposure to the laser.
