The laser has two modes: Coolview which can be aggressive, targeted and Laser Genesis which can be gentle with no downtime and treat all skin types (even darker skin types)!

    In general, lasers treat the skin by penetrating it with a specific wavelength of light that targets certain molecules in the skin. The Cutera Excel V+ has the wavelength of 532nm and 1064nm which target both vascular and pigment molecules in the skin. The Cutera Excel V+ laser uses the unique Lithium Triborate crystal which makes it incredibly powerful, effective and reliable at treating vascular and pigmentation concerns of the skin. Your practitioner will choose one of the two modes in the Cutera Excel V+ laser and adjust the treatment parameters to suit your unique skin concerns.

    If you prefer no downtime for your treatment or if you have darker skin types or if you have melasma, the Laser Genesis mode is most suitable for you. If you prefer a stronger treatment, you can request for the Coolview mode.

    Results are typically seen after three to six treatment sessions, however this does depend on your skin conditions and your desired outcome.

      • Does Cutera excel V+ hurt?

        There are two modes of treatment in the Cutera Excel V+ laser. For the Coolview mode, treatments shouldn’t hurt more than a brief rubber band snap against the skin. For the Laser Genesis mode, treatments are generally comfortable apart from a warmth sensation to the skin.

      • What is the downtime like and is there any side effects?

        You can usually put on makeup and resume your typical activities right away after treatment. After treatment, it’s normal to expect some redness and/or swelling. Swelling will peak 24 to 48 hours after a full-face treatment but subside within a few days. Following treatment, treated brown spots will darken and peel off in 3 to 5 days.

    Your expert consultation gives you the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you might have. We will talk through all you need to know about the Cuter Excel V+ treatment, assess your skin, perform a full area analysis and discuss your aims to develop a treatment plan that is exactly right for you. Full information on what the procedure involves, risks and aftercare instructions will be given.

    2 The Treatment

    Your clinician will endeavour in good faith to employ the principles of best practice in delivering your treatment. Each patient is individual and response to treatment will vary from patient to patient and treatment to treatment. As such it is difficult to guarantee outcomes will always meet your expectations.

    3 Aftercare

    It may be recommended to use a cold pack at home following the treatment if redness and warmth in the treatment area is uncomfortable. The use of a noncomedogenic moisturizer, and a sunscreen exceeding SPF 30 is recommended. Make up can be applied immediately following treatment if desired. Deep facials and facial massages should be avoided during your treatment course. Please ask your clinician for an after-care sheet which will give important contact details and a summary of our advice. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any concerns post treatment.
