Cutera Excel V+

The Cutera Excel V+ is a dual-wavelength laser system that combines two precisely calibrated wavelengths — 532nm (KTP) and 1064nm (Nd:YAG) — to treat a wide range of vascular and pigmented skin conditions. The shorter wavelength targets superficial concerns like redness and spider veins, while the longer wavelength penetrates deeper for larger vessels, deeper pigment, and skin tightening. This versatility makes it one of the most advanced vascular lasers available.

How Cutera Excel V+ Works

See Beyond Beauty uses the Cutera Excel V+, a dual-wavelength laser system combining 532nm (KTP) and Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength to treat vascular and pigmented skin conditions.

The Excel V+ operates on the principle of selective photothermolysis, matching each wavelength to a specific chromophore in the skin.

The 532nm wavelength targets superficial concerns like redness and spider veins through hemoglobin chromophore targeting — the laser energy is absorbed selectively by red blood cells inside visible vessels. The Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength penetrates deeper for larger vessels, deeper pigment, and skin tightening.

For patients with prominent facial veins, port wine stains, cherry angiomas, or treatment-resistant rosacea, the Excel V+ delivers targeted resolution with minimal impact on surrounding tissue. This precision is what separates our medspa's laser protocols from broader IPL treatments.

Treatment Areas

Facial redness and rosacea, spider veins (face and legs), cherry angiomas, port wine stains, acne scars, age spots, leg veins

What to Expect

See Beyond Beauty's Excel V+ treatment follows a precise four-step protocol designed for maximum vascular targeting with minimal discomfort.

1

Vascular Mapping

Your provider identifies the specific vessels, pigmented areas, or lesions to be treated. The Excel V+ settings are calibrated for your skin type and the depth of your concerns.

2

Cooling & Preparation

The Excel V+ has an integrated cooling system that protects the skin surface during treatment. Protective eye shields are placed. No numbing is typically needed.

3

Laser Treatment

The laser handpiece is guided precisely over the target areas. Selective photothermolysis heats only the targeted vessels while leaving surrounding tissue intact.

4

Post-Treatment

Treated vessels may appear darker temporarily before fading — a sign that selective photothermolysis coagulated the target vessel successfully.

Is This Right for You?

See Beyond Beauty recommends Excel V+ for patients with specific vascular or pigmented concerns that require precision laser targeting beyond what IPL can deliver.

You have visible facial veins, spider veins, or broken capillaries
Rosacea redness has not responded fully to IPL or topical treatments
You have cherry angiomas (red spots) or port wine stains
You want to treat leg veins non-surgically
You have acne scars with both redness and textural concerns

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Excel V+ different from IPL?

IPL uses broad-spectrum light to treat general skin tone. The Excel V+ uses two precise laser wavelengths — targeting specific vessels through selective photothermolysis with far greater accuracy. Excel V+ is the tool of choice for stubborn vascular concerns, visible veins, and conditions that have not responded fully to IPL.

Can Excel V+ treat spider veins on my legs?

Yes. The Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength penetrates deeper than face-focused lasers, making Excel V+ effective for small to medium leg veins through hemoglobin chromophore targeting. Larger varicose veins may require different treatment.

How many sessions do I need for rosacea?

Most rosacea patients see significant improvement after 3 to 5 sessions. The dual-wavelength approach addresses both diffuse redness and individual visible vessels. Maintenance sessions help manage flare-ups long-term.

Does it hurt?

Most patients describe a mild warm snapping sensation. The integrated cooling system keeps the skin comfortable throughout treatment. No numbing is typically needed.

When will I see results?

For spider veins, you may see improvement immediately as treated vessels darken and begin to fade. Full results develop over 2 to 4 weeks as your body absorbs the coagulated vessels. Rosacea redness typically improves progressively over the treatment series.
