The Cutera Excel V laser includes three treatment modes that enable physicians to treat more vascular conditions, from small superficial vessels to large vascular lesions. The modes are:
A unique high energy, short pulse 532 nm mode
A long pulse 1064 nm mode
A patented microsecond 1064 nm mode (Laser Genesis)
532 nm Mode
The 532 nm wavelength is ideal for superficial vascular targets including small telangiectasias, cherry angiomas, diffuse redness and port wine stains. Learn more about the benefits of 532 nm wavelength for vascular treatment.
Long Pulse 1064 nm Mode
The long pulse 1064 nm mode is the perfect choice for deeper or thicker vascular treatments including leg veins, periorbital blue veins, hemangiomas and nodular port wine stains. The 1064 nm wavelength provides deeper penetration than 532 nm or pulsed dye lasers, and the Excel V laser delivers sufficient energy to allow independent control without compromise of fluence, pulse duration, spot size, or repetition rate.
The Excel V laser includes the Nd:YAG capabilities originally introduced with the CoolGlide Excel, the first clinically effective long pulsed Nd:YAG laser for lower extremity vascular lesions and an award winner as the best laser for leg veins.
Laser Genesis
The microsecond 1064 nm treatment, also known as Laser Genesis, is an excellent choice for diffuse redness, rosacea, and scars, as well as being an excellent skin revitalization treatment. This patented procedure targets the micro-vascularity with microsecond high-peak-power pulses, reducing erythema while stimulating collagen production.
Recent research has shown improvement in a range of scars, from fresh surgical scars to keloid and hypertrophic scars, following treatments with Laser Genesis. Because this procedure has no downtime, minimal discomfort and no disposables, Laser Genesis has become a staple of skin care for many offices. This one procedure offers a multi-purpose, all-season, all skin type solution for overall skin health.
