What is Cutera excel V 1064 laser treatment?
The Cutera excel V 1064 is a state-of-the-art laser treatment designed to address a wide range of vascular and pigmentation concerns. This highly versatile device uses advanced technology to provide effective, non-invasive solutions for skin issues ranging from superficial and deep vascular conditions to benign pigmented lesions.
The award-winning excel V combines two ultra-precise, best-in-class laser wavelengths in one device to deliver precise treatment to help patients achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin.
How does Cutera excel V 1064 work?
The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the targeted pigment or blood vessels. This energy causes the targeted areas to break down, allowing the body’s natural healing processes to eliminate them over time.
The device is safe and precise, with the ability to target spots ranging from 2-12 mm without affecting the surrounding skin. With a built-in cooling system, the Cutera excel V ensures patient comfort and minimizes the risk of skin irritation during treatment.
The device combines precision, safety, and effectiveness, making it an excellent choice for treating a variety of skin concerns.
What can Cutera excel V laser treat?
This treatment is ideal for addressing a variety of skin concerns, including:
Angiomas
Port wine stains (PWS)
Poikiloderma
Venous lakes
Facial veins
Leg veins
Telangiectasia
Freckles
DPNs
Age/brown spots
Acne scars
Scars
In addition to targeting vascular and pigmentation issues, this treatment is an effective and long-term solution to acne. Acne is caused by bacteria that multiply in clogged pores. To treat this problem, the laser targets the overactive sebaceous glands that lead to clogged pores when they produce too much oil.
Who is a candidate for Cutera excel V 1064 treatment?
This laser therapy is suitable for most skin types and tones. Ideal candidates are patients who:
- Have visible vascular lesions, pigmentation issues, or stubborn acne
- Are seeking a non-invasive solution for skin imperfections
- Do not have active infections or open wounds in the treatment area
A consultation with your Forefront dermatologist can determine if this treatment is right for you.
What is an Cutera excel V session like?
A typical session with the Cutera excel V laser lasts between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. During the procedure:
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort.
- Treatment: The laser handpiece is moved across the treatment area, delivering targeted pulses of light. Patients may feel a mild stinging sensation, often described as similar to a rubber band snap.
- Cooling: The device’s cooling technology soothes the skin during and after treatment to minimize discomfort.
No downtime is required after treatment, and patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately following the session. Patients will receive aftercare instructions, including protecting the treated skin from exposure to the sun.
What results can be expected from Cutera excel V 1064?
Most patients notice visible results after just one treatment, with optimal improvements achieved with a series of 3 or more sessions. Skin tone and texture become more even, and targeted blemishes fade significantly or disappear altogether.
