The Excel V laser is designed to target vascular conditions by delivering precise wavelengths of light to abnormal blood vessels. The laser energy heats the blood vessels until they collapse and are naturally reabsorbed by the body. This makes Excel V an excellent option for addressing:
Because Excel V is customizable, our Plano esthetician can select the exact wavelength and energy level appropriate for our patients’ skin and condition, ensuring accurate results with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.
IPL therapy uses broad-spectrum light to address pigmentation concerns. Excel IPL delivers multiple wavelengths, making it effective for treating:
The light pulses penetrate your skin and break down pigmented cells. Over the following weeks, the treated spots darken and then flake off, revealing clearer skin.
The key difference between Excel V and IPL is that Excel V uses pinpoint precision that better addresses vascular and defined pigmentation concerns, while Excel IPL is more suitable for general skin tone and texture improvement.
Both Excel V and IPL treatments are performed in-office, providing our Plano patients with the highest level of safety and comfort. A handheld device delivers carefully calibrated energy to the treatment area.
Excel V sessions usually last 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. You may feel a mild stinging sensation, often compared to a rubber band snap. IPL sessions often take 20 to 30 minutes, producing a warm sensation with each pulse of light. You will wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from either the Excel V laser or pulsed light.
Recovery time is minimal and you can usually return to work or social activities right after your Excel V or IPL treatment. The following tips can help you understand and improve your results:
Improvements usually appear after a single session, but a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended.
Both treatments stimulate natural collagen production, improving your skin’s texture and firmness over time. Our patients often notice not only reduced redness or pigmentation but also a brighter, more even complexion after their Excel V or IPL treatments. Maintenance sessions can be scheduled as needed to preserve your results amazing results for years afterward.
Our plastic surgeons have years of experience and expertise in advanced skin treatments and facial aesthetics. With an in-depth understanding of skin physiology, they customize every Excel V or IPL session to your needs, ensuring precision and safety, while promoting incredible enhancements.
