Vascular Laser

A Vascular laser is one that targets anything that is RED on the skin. This may be a small angioma, a burst capillary, rosacea or even spider veins. There are several different types of lasers that are considered vascular lasers and at Gold Coast Dermatology we are fortunate enough to be have several offerings.

Cutera Excel V+ Laser

The Excel V+ is a dual wavelength laser system that can be used with three interchangeable handpieces.

Cutera Excel V+ can be used for the treatment of:

  • Benign vascular, cutaneous and some pigmented lesions

  • Inflammatory acne

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Rosacea/diffuse redness

  • Red scars.

  • Laser genesis can be performed regularly to help maintain collagen, calm down general redness and even just for a refreshing ‘glow’.

Most conditions requires 2-3 treatments, but many respond to just one treatment.

  • On the day of your treatment please ensure you have no suncream, make up, moisturisers or serums on your face. These can interfere with your treatment.

  • When individual blood vessels or specific lesions are treated, a small zap is felt. The Excel V Coolview hand piece has an in built cooling mechanism and a water based gel is applied to the skin, so usually this is quite well tolerated. Laser genesis feels like warm heat in the top layer of your skin. It is only temporary.

  • Your face will be slightly redder in treated areas. It is possible that you have some mild swelling and even some bruising, when treating blood vessels. Brown treated lesions will become darker and turn a greyish colour.
