The Excel V+ Process
This non-invasive treatment requires no anesthesia and is performed in-office. Before beginning Excel V+™ therapy, we will test a small area of skin to assess its response to the laser. Depending on the handheld device used, you may feel a slight snap or a warm sensation as the provider moves the tool across your skin.
A single area can be treated in three to five minutes. The procedure is quick and convenient, allowing you to schedule it even during your lunch break.
Depending on your cosmetic concerns, a series of treatment sessions may be needed to achieve the desired results. After your consultation, follow-up treatments can be scheduled to ensure proper spacing and optimal outcomes. While improvements in skin clarity and tone may be noticeable after the first treatment, benefits continue to develop over the next two to four months as your skin regenerates new collagen and elastin.
How Does Excel V+ Laser Work?
Our Excel V+ laser treatment is a solid-state laser technology incorporating two precision laser wavelengths in one device. This one-of-a-kind treatment is non-ablative, meaning there will only be mild skin disruption, and offers little to no downtime.
Four compatible handpieces provide more versatility from the Excel V+. For example, it can deliver a micro-pulsed 532 nm wavelength with our Genesis V™ handpiece, customizing spot size and wavelength. Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser technology that offers multiple purposes like restoring skin tone, treating wrinkles and fine lines, acne and superficial scarring, large pores, and active acne.
This heat-based laser stimulates the body’s natural healing processes to boost collagen growth, resulting in a more youthful skin tone and texture. The fully integrated CoolView™ or the thin Dermastat handpiece accurately treats small pigmented and vascular lesions.
By increasing the Excel V power by 50%, its laser delivers unmatched precision and effectiveness for treating pigmentation, vascular problems, and non-pigmented lesions. In addition, continuous Contact Cooling throughout the treatments provides maximum comfort.

Laser Hair Removal
The Excel V+™ Laser can also deliver a 1064 nm wavelength to target unwanted hair by affecting the melanin within the hair shaft and destroying hair follicles. This results in permanent hair reduction and safely treats patients of all skin tones, thanks to the multiple wavelengths available with this innovative system.
Excel V+ Treatment Aftercare

- Avoid heat, steam baths, and hot tubs for a couple of days.
- Do not use skin care products that contain glycolic/salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinol, or tretinoin.

New Orleans Excel V+ FAQs
How does this laser soften fine lines and wrinkles?
Directing the Excel V+™ Laser energy at wrinkles and fine lines stimulates neocollagenesis, the natural healing process in which your skin begins rebuilding collagen and elastin proteins. The laser energy can also break up disrupted collagen in acne scarring and promote neocollagenesis, resulting in smoother, tighter, and more evenly textured skin.
Are there any possible side effects?
Although many patients report few or no side effects, it is not uncommon to notice slight redness or mild inflammation. Bruising is possible, and blistering may occur, though rarely. Any side effects typically resolve within one week.
Is the Excel V+ safe for all skin types?
Yes! Our Excel V+™ Laser system can safely treat skin types ranging from light to dark, as classified by the Fitzpatrick skin type scale, thanks to its customizable wavelength settings.
What is the cost of Excel V+ treatments?
The cost of treatment depends on your skin condition, the level of care required, and the number of sessions needed. A comprehensive cost estimate will be provided during your consultation.
