Excel V Vascular Laser

Vascular Laser for Red Skin and Rosacea Because no ones skin is the same, we will recommend a different approach depending on your skin concerns.

Lasers reduce rosacea, skin redness, treat sun damaged skin and can improve skin inflammation and sensitivity. We use a variety of state-of-the-art laser systems and devices and approaches to manage skin redness including Excel V vascular laser , Xeo IPL (intense Pulsed Light), Laser Genesis, Ultraclear Laser, and LED Healite to address red skin.

The Excel V Vascular laser from Cutera offers a dual wavelength platform to target redness, 532nm for superficial vessels, and 1065 nm to target deeper vascular structures and dermal inflammation. We also utilise IPL (intense Pulsed Light) and UltraClear laser to manage sun damage and build skin integrity.

• Generalised redness and flushing

What is the recommended treatment plan? Before starting treatment you will need a medical consultation with Dr Grant, during which time a medical and dermal therapy plan will be customised to your concerns. You may be prescribed certain medications , and we will arrange a test patch and education session with our dermal therapists. Expect an intensive treatment plan for the first 12 weeks, combining corrective peels, lasers or exosome treatment. Ultraclear laser may then be utilised to improve underlying photodamaged skin and build up skin integrity.

How do I prepare for a vascular laser procedure? Use SPF daily and avoid any irritating products such as Vitamin C, retinol of exfoliants for 3 days prior to your treatment. Do not use spray tan or expose the skin to the sun for tanning for 2- 3 weeks prior to, and during your series of vascular laser treatments.

What can I expect during a vascular laser procedure?
Depending on the area and concern, vascular laser treatment may be mildly uncomfortable but is generally tolerated. Appointment length will vary and will be confirmed at your initial consultation.

What is the downtime for a vascular laser procedure? Redness, swelling and a “sun burnt feeling” is common for the first few days. Brusing may occur. Blisters or wound formation is rare. Allow 2 weeks between treatments and upcoming social events. It is essential that sunscreen is worn and sun exposure avoided while undergoing treatment, and the aftercare instructions are followed carefully. 

12 week Skin Programme We offer a 12 week initial program to target redness and sensitive skin combining home care, corrective peels and combination vascular laser treatments to improve the underlying dermal inflammation seen in rosacea and skin barrier impairment. Once the inflammation has settled, we then work on improving the skin strength with collagen induction using Tixel or Ultraclear laser.

Cost At your initial consultation, our team will assess your concerns and provide an individualised treatment plan and quote. A medicare rebate may be available for clients who have vascular laser treatments to manage severe rosacea. Suitability for treatment and costs will be discussed during your consultation.
