Excel V Laser in West Palm Beach | Estetica Institute (2024)

The vast majority of people are affected by some kind of skin condition, either chronic or cosmetic, which cause unsightly broken blood vessels to appear on the face and leg. Traditional approaches to treating these conditions are largely limited to electrosurgery, sclerotherapy and surgical destruction of veins and vessels, each of which pose significant disadvantages. For example, electrosurgery, a procedure in which an electrode needle is used to destroy skin lesions, is rather painful and may cause craters in the skin. Similarly, sclerotherapy, commonly used to treat spider veins, is an invasive procedure that requires patients to wear compression stockings after treatment and includes an injection.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

The number of treatments with Excel V Laser depends on various parameters, including the size, thickness and color of the vascular lesion. Superficial vascular lesions are usually easiest to treat. Some patients might see significant improvement after just one treatment.

Post Treatment Instructions

• No sun-tanning or self-tanners 4 weeks prior to treatment
• Avoid treatments that may irritate the skin for 1-2 weeks prior to treatment (waxing)
• History of cold sores may require an anti-viral prescription prior to treatment

After Vascular and Pigmented Lesion Treatment Instructions

• Avoid sun exposure and use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen to prevent further sun damage
• Bruising, redness, and swelling are common and resolve with time
• A “Bug bite look” is common and usually resolves in 1-2 days
• Avoid heat and hot tubs for 1-2 days
• Avoid irritants for two weeks post treatment such as products containing tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide and glycolic/salicylic acids
• Leg vein treatments only: Compression stockings are optional. Avoid high impact for 3-5 days. Rarely, hemosiderin staining (brown staining) may occur after a treatment and usually resolves with time (1-2 years) but, on a rare occasion, it may be permanent.
