The Excel V vascular laser offers the gold standard in dermatological care, addressing redness, rosacea, and skin inflammation.

Utilising both 532nm and 1064 nm wavelengths, the Excel V system focuses on the hemoglobin porphyrin within blood vessels. The laser energy is absorbed preferentially by hemoglobin, causing the targeted vessels to collapse and eventually be cleared away by the body's immune system. This process results in clearer, more even-toned skin with no invasive procedures.

The Excel V laser treats a large variety of skin concerns including sun damage, rosacea, acne and acne scarring, surgical and traumatic scars, and r congenital vascular conditions, without excessive pain, bruising or swelling.

Sometimes lesions can be corrected in a few vascular laser sessions alone. Other conditions, such as rosacea, are complex and need a multi- modality approach. Dr. Grant integrates the ExcelV laser with other medical-grade treatments such as LED Healite, Corrective Peels, prescription medication and medical grade home care to address not just the surface symptoms of redness, but the underlying causes of skin issues, integrating lifestyle and medical options to clear the skin. This comprehensive method ensures a more effective and sustainable outcome for patients dealing with persistent redness and rosacea.

Advantages of Excel V Laser for Rosacea and Redness

The Excel V laser treatment is known for its rapid and visible improvements in skin appearance, often noticeable after just 2 sessions. This quick process is ideal for those looking for fast relief from redness and vascular concerns.

Merging Laser Therapy with Holistic Methods

Dr. Grant tailors her treatment plans to meet the specific needs of each patient, ensuring more effective and sustainable outcomes. Patients often find that this holistic approach not only improves their skin's appearance but also boosts their overall well-being. By treating the skin from the inside out, this methodology fosters a healthier, more balanced complexion and improves long term control.

What to Anticipate During and After Treatment

Before your treatment begins, your therapist will assess your skin and discuss your specific concerns, tailoring the laser settings to your skin for optimal results. You will be required to wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser's light. The process is generally quick, and the non-invasive nature means no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities shortly after your session. Cooling will be used before and after the procedure to minimise overheating the skin.

The duration of the treatment varies depending on the size and number of areas being addressed, typically ranging from 15 to 30 minutes. Post-treatment, you might experience some redness or slight swelling, bruising or a feeling of mild sunburn. These side effects are generally short-lived, subsiding within a few hours to a couple of days.

To optimise results and minimise potential side effects, please follow the aftercare instructions provided, including avoiding sun exposure, applying prescribed topical treatments, and keeping the treated area clean and moisturised. While some vascular lesions may improve almost immediately, others will gradually fade over the next several weeks. Regular follow-up appointments are recommended to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. This ensures you achieve the best possible outcome in managing redness, rosacea, and other vascular issues.
