What is Excel V?
Excel V is a 532nm long pulse laser designed to effectively treat facial redness, vascular concerns, and pigmentation issues such as sunspots and freckles.
Because different types of pigmentation require different treatment approaches, we may use a combination of devices and techniques, including Pico toning, Laser Genesis, long-pulsed lasers, scabbing lasers, potenza, and CO₂ laser removal for moles. Among these options, Excel V is one of scabbing laser particularly effective for treating darker pigmentation, facial redness, and visible blood vessels.
When will you see results? Is there any downtime?
After a scabbing laser treatment, the pigmented areas may temporarily swell, similar to a mosquito bite, become darker, and form small crusts. These crusts usually fall off within 5 to 10 days, after which the pigmentation gradually appears lighter.
For patients seeking noticeable pigment improvement from a single session, we often recommend combining the scabbing laser. At Dermia Clinic, we typically use a customized “Laser Omakase” program that combines approximately three different laser treatments in one session.
Dermia’s Laser Omakase is designed to address multiple concerns at the same time, including enlarged pores, acne scars, pigmentation, and facial redness.
Each session combines three different laser treatments, and the program consists of a total of 10 sessions.
At the doctor’s discretion, the treatment may also include additional procedures such as laser hair removal, regenerative injections, melasma injections, or anti-inflammatory injections, depending on the patient’s skin condition.
