Lu Chen Did you know that over 400 million people suffer from rosacea, and 84% of the population have spider veins?
According to a survey by the National Rosacea Foundation, as many as 90% of people with rosacea report that this condition makes them feel badly about themselves, and 41% say it has caused them to avoid public contact or even cancel plans. Among those with severe rosacea, nearly 88% said the disorder had negatively affected their professional interactions.
Veins on the legs are not only unsightly, but can cause night cramps, swelling, and itching. Another skin concern for a large group of the population is pigmentation, with 40% of people worrying about dark spots on their skin.
Offering treatments that targets all three concerns is crucial if you don’t want to miss out on this large group of clients. Cutera have launched the next generation of laser devices with their excel V+, which treats vascular lesions and pigmentation. excel V+ has 50% more power, 2X faster treatment speed, with optimised delivery systems and parameters for unparalleled precision.
The excel V+ represents a significant leap forward in the Company’s current excel V laser platform, widely recognised among dermatologists for its engineering excellence as a best-in-class platform for the treatment of dermatologic issues such as rosacea, poikiloderma, leg veins, skin pigmentation and acne scars. The advancements of the excel V+ include:
- Fully-integrated 532 + 1064 nm wavelengths, with the addition of ‘Green Genesis’ a micro-pulsed 532 nm treatment
- 50% more power with the 532 nm wavelength
- Largest spot size of 16 mm for 2X faster treatments
- New ‘Dermastat’ tracing handpiece to quickly treat small vascular and pigmented lesions on the face and body
Dr. E. Vic Ross, world-renowned dermatologist practicing at Scripps Clinic, San Diego, CA stated, “I am very pleased to have collaborated with Cutera’s R&D team on the development of the excel V+. The technological advancements of the new laser enhance an already best in class platform. The new capabilities of Cutera’s excel V+ will transform the experience of my patients. The advancement of the technology means I will be able to treat veins and vascular lesions and skin pigmentation more efficiently, precisely and with improved results.”
In the past, this type of laser therapy was considered risky for people with darker skin, but Cutera’s excel V+ laser is safe and effective for all skin types including dark, light or tanned skin. According to dermatologist Omar A. Ibrahimi, MD, PhD, of Connecticut Skin Institute “another advantage of the excel V+ is to reduce redness and brown spots, which is very popular among millennials as a minimal-to-no-downtime procedure.”
The excel V+ treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes and a series of sessions may be needed for optimal results. Most people say the treatment feels like a quick rubber band snap sensation, but a built-in cooling mechanism helps minimise any discomfort. Recovery is minimal, but there can be some redness, swelling, or bruising that lasts for 24-48 hours with visible improvements noticeable in two to six weeks and final results in a few months.
In a few short treatments, the excel V+ laser gives skin a clear, even look. It is the fast and easy way to treat visible veins, skin discolouration and wrinkles.
