How Excel V Laser Treatment Works
The Excel V laser works by emitting pulses of green light energy that precisely heat targeted areas to restore normal skin tone and color. When damaged, broken, or abnormal blood vessels are exposed to the Excel V’s wavelengths, they become permanently sealed off and are resorbed by the body, reducing redness and allowing blood flow to be rerouted to veins deeper below the skin’s surface.
The Excel V laser has two wavelength settings:
- The 532 nm wavelength treats superficial vascular lesions, such as rosacea and spider veins.
- The 1064 nm wavelength targets deeper vascular lesions.
Dr. Ros and the experienced team at Dermatology Institute and Laser Center can customize the settings on the Excel V laser to tailor treatment sessions to the exact needs and goals of each patient.
Conditions Treated
The Excel V laser can be used to effectively treat a broad spectrum of skin concerns and vascular conditions, ranging from mild to severe in scope. These include:
- Rosacea
- Acne
- Age spots/brown spots
- Hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Lesions and scars, including acne scars
- Broken blood vessels
- Chronic sun damage
- Cherry angiomas

If she feels that Excel V treatment is not the right option for your particular circumstances, she will suggest an alternate treatment approach to help you achieve your cosmetic dermatology goals.
