The Excel V+ laser treatment uses light energy at specific wavelengths to address vascular conditions, pigmentation, and other skin concerns. It works by targeting chromophores within the skin – molecules such as haemoglobin (found in blood vessels) and melanin (responsible for pigmentation). When light energy is absorbed and converted into heat, it can cause blood vessels to constrict and pigmentation to fragment. The body then gradually processes the treated tissue, helping to reduce unwanted colour over time.
The Excel V+ laser offers a tailored approach, with settings and handpieces that can be adjusted to suit individual presentations. To determine if you are a suitable candidate, a consultation with your Dr. Jodie clinician is required. If considered appropriate, treatment may be performed on the same day. Some recovery time may be involved, so treatment planning should take this into account. As with all laser treatments, there are associated risks, which will be explained during your consultation before proceeding.
Excel V+ laser treatment may be applied as a ‘global’ treatment across the entire face, which may be considered for generalised redness, networks of broken capillaries, or rosacea. It can also be used in a more localised way as a ‘spot’ treatment for a single vessel or lesion.
