Cutera Excel V is a solid-state laser system providing unparalleled treatment for 20skin and vein-related conditions.

Some of the aesthetic conditions Excel V can effectively treat include:
-
Leg, ankle, and foot veins

Pigmentation issues, including sunspots and freckles
-
Rosacea and diffuse redness
-
Vascular lesions
-
Angiomas and hemangiomas
-
Redness

Cutera Excel V is a safe and effective option for various skin concerns. However, as with any medical procedure, there may be side effects and some downtime, so discussing your health condition and goals with a healthcare provider before treatment is essential.
What to Know Before Excel Laser Treatment
At least two visits are required for Excel laser treatment.
During the first visit, a thorough physical examination is performed. We will examine your skin and review your pertinent medical history.
Bringing a list of the medications and topical products you are currently using is essential. This initial appointment helps us understand your concerns and desired goals. With this knowledge, we can determine if you are a good candidate for treatment with Excel V.
Laser treatments are considered cosmetic services and are not covered by insurance. We provide upfront pricing at your consultation, so you are never hit with a surprise bill at checkout.
How is Cutera Excel V performed?
Cutera Excel V treatment is performed in a clinical setting by a trained provider at the Tennessee Vein Center.
Depending on the treated area, the patient may be asked to cleanse their skin thoroughly and remove any makeup or skincare products. Some treatments may require applying a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort.
The provider and patient will wear protective eyewear to shield their eyes from the laser light.
During treatment, a laser emits specific wavelengths to target vascular or pigmented lesions or to promote skin rejuvenation, with settings adjusted for each patient.
The laser works in different ways depending on the treatment goals:
-
The hemoglobin in the blood vessels absorbs laser energy, causing vascular lesions to coagulate and eventually fade.
-
For pigmented lesions, the laser energy breaks down excess melanin in the skin, leading to a more even skin tone.
-
For skin rejuvenation, the laser can stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
In all instances, the Excel V provides continuous contact cooling to keep the skin comfortable during the treatment. When the laser energy is delivered, most people describe the feeling as a warm pinprick or rubber band snap that lasts briefly.
The Excel V’s built-in cooling system provides some of the most comfortable treatments on the market without compromising results.
The duration of Cutera Excel V laser sessions varies depending on several factors, including the specific treatment performed, the size of the treated area, and the patient’s needs. Generally, sessions can range from a few minutes to 30 minutes or more. Before beginning treatment, your provider will discuss treatment goals and anticipated treatment time.
Most patients will need more than one Excel V treatment to fully address their concerns.
We do our very best to provide an estimated number of treatment sessions for all our services, but it is important to remember that every person responds differently to vein treatment. The area and type of condition being treated, including any vein condition, will affect the amount of downtime you can expect.
What Can I Expect After Excel V Treatment?
Immediately after each treatment, you can expect some temporary redness and swelling.
The area and type of condition being treated, including any vein condition, will affect the amount of downtime you can expect. Downtime is highly variable between patients. We ask that you stay cool after treatment and avoid exercise for a few days to get the best possible results.
Days to weeks following your treatment sessions, you can expect to experience:
-
A resolution of vascular lesions
-
Improved skin texture
-
Lightening of pigmented skin
-
A reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
