Excel V® Laser
Medical laser treatment for facial redness, visible blood vessels, rosacea and vascular skin concerns.
Restore a more even skin tone.
Excel V® vascular laser is a targeted treatment designed to improve redness and visible blood vessels by treating the tiny vessels beneath the skin that contribute to flushing and uneven tone.
Many people experience facial redness, broken capillaries, or visible veins at some stage in their life. These changes can develop due to genetics, sun exposure, ageing, or skin conditions such as rosacea. While they are not harmful, they can make the skin appear consistently red, blotchy, or sensitive.
How does Excel V® laser work?
Excel V® uses dual-wavelength laser technology to precisely target unwanted blood vessels beneath the skin. It works by delivering focused light energy that is absorbed within the vessel, heating it and causing it to close down.
Over time, the treated vessel gradually collapses and is naturally cleared by the body, helping to reduce visible redness and create a more even skin tone.
This process leads to:
- Reduction in visible redness
- Improvement in broken capillaries and veins
- Calmer and more even skin tone
- Less flushing and inflammation over time
What does Excel V® laser treat?
Excel V® vascular laser treatments are commonly used to address a range of visible vascular concerns, including:
-

It is particularly beneficial for patients who struggle with chronic redness or visible vascular changes in the skin. Your practitioner will assess your skin and determine whether Excel V® is the most appropriate treatment for your specific concern.
Benefits of Excel V® Laser
Excel V® laser helps improve both the appearance and comfort of redness-prone skin by targeting the underlying vascular concerns that contribute to visible redness and flushing.
Key benefits include:
- Reduced persistent facial redness
- Improved appearance of visible broken capillaries
- Calmed rosacea-related flushing
- A more even and balanced complexion
Outcomes are progressive, with continued improvement in redness and vascular appearance over the course of treatment.
What to expect during your treatment.
During the procedure, a handheld laser device is passed over the treatment area, delivering short pulses of laser energy to the targeted vessels. The Excel V® system includes a built-in cooling feature designed to help keep the skin comfortable during treatment.
Most sessions are relatively quick, depending on the size of the area being treated. Patients often describe the sensation as a light snapping or warming feeling on the skin.
After treatment, some mild redness or slight swelling may occur, but this usually settles within a short period. Some vessels may fade immediately, while others gradually disappear over the following weeks as the body naturally clears them away. Depending on the condition being treated and the severity of the redness or vessels, a series of treatments may be recommended for the best outcome.
