Bellvue Clinic Excel V Laser Treatment A to Z

Bellvue Clinic has a laser called Excel V. It is probably already familiar to those who are very interested in skincare. Have you heard of it? What kind of laser is Excel V? Today, let’s take a detailed look at it.

The Excel V laser is a skin laser treatment device developed by the U.S. company Cutera. Cutera is an American medical aesthetic laser equipment company founded in 1998, and it develops various laser devices for skin and body treatments. It is an advanced laser system that can effectively improve a wide range of skin concerns such as pigmentation lesions, vascular conditions, pores, fine lines, and elasticity by using lasers of different wavelengths.

The biggest feature of Excel V is that it combines three wavelength modes to manage nearly twenty different skin concerns, from areas close to the epidermis to deeper areas. Another major advantage is that it causes far less pain than existing laser treatments, and there is almost no redness or swelling after the procedure, so it does not interfere with daily life. You can return to your daily routine immediately after treatment, so there is no burden at all.

How the Excel V Laser Works

The Excel V laser works by using a total of three modes—KTP mode, Long Pulse Nd:YAG mode, and Micro Pulse Nd:YAG mode—to destroy and remove various lesions. The three modes have different wavelengths, which makes them applicable to a wide range of skin concerns.

▶ KTP Laser Mode (532nm)

KTP is short for Potassium Titanyl Phosphate, a crystal that emits a 532nm laser beam. This mode is effective for treating blood vessel and pigmentation lesions close to the epidermis. It uses high output energy and short pulses to remove lesions precisely. It can treat freckles, spots, age spots, red blood vessels, and purple blood vessels.

▶ Long Pulse Nd:YAG Laser Mode (1064nm)

Nd:YAG is short for Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet, a crystal that emits a 1064nm laser beam. Long Pulse refers to a long pulse duration. This mode is effective for treating deep blood vessel and pigmentation lesions. It can treat blue blood vessels and deep melasma.

▶ Micro Pulse Nd:YAG Laser Mode (1064nm)

This mode is a patented mode called Laser Genesis, which delivers the 1064nm wavelength in very short microsecond pulses. It is effective for scars, redness, and skin rejuvenation, and it also helps improve pores, fine lines, skin texture, and skin tone.

What Makes Excel V Different

Excel V has the following distinguishing features.

▶ Various wavelengths

: Through its three modes, Excel V can use lasers of various wavelengths, allowing customized treatment depending on the depth of blood vessels or the type of pigmentation. For example, the KTP mode can be used for blood vessels close to the epidermal layer, while the Long Pulse Nd:YAG mode can be used for deeper blood vessels.

▶ Combined treatment for various skin concerns

: Using the three modes above, it can treat pigmentation, blood vessels, elasticity, pores, and fine lines all at the same time.

▶ High effectiveness and safety

: Effective treatment is possible through high energy and short pulse width, while minimizing skin damage and reducing the likelihood of side effects. It is a safe laser approved by the FDA, CE, and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

▶ Fast treatment speed

: Excel V enables effective treatment through high energy and short pulse width, allowing visible results in a short time. The adjustable laser beam size of up to 12mm makes it possible to treat a wide area quickly, so the procedure time is short.

▶ Minimized pain and side effects

: Because Excel V treats while minimizing damage to skin tissue, bruising and scabbing are rare compared with other laser treatments. In addition, the sapphire cooling system helps protect the skin and reduce pain. The procedure can be performed without special anesthesia, and there is almost no redness or swelling after treatment.

▶ Short recovery period

: You can return to daily life immediately after the procedure.

When comparing Excel V laser with other lasers, it can be summarized as having the following advantages.

▶ Various wavelengths

: Through its three modes, Excel V can use lasers of various wavelengths, allowing customized treatment depending on the depth of blood vessels or the type of pigmentation. For example, the KTP mode can be used for blood vessels close to the epidermal layer, while the Long Pulse Nd:YAG mode can be used for deeper blood vessels.

▶ Low risk of side effects

: Because Excel V treats while minimizing damage to skin tissue, bruising and scabbing are rare compared with other laser treatments. In addition, the sapphire cooling system helps protect the skin and reduce pain.

▶ Fast results

: Excel V enables effective treatment through high energy and short pulse width, allowing noticeable results in a short time.

Conditions That Can Be Treated With Excel V Laser

Excel V laser is effective for treating a variety of skin conditions. Its main effects are usually making the face clearer, brighter, and cleaner. More details are as follows.

▶ Pigmentation conditions: It improves various pigmentation lesions such as melasma, freckles, spots, age spots, and Ota nevus. It treats pigmentation disorders by destroying melanin pigment in the epidermis and dermis and suppressing melanocyte function. In particular, the ability to treat blood vessels and pigmentation at the same time is a major advantage.

▶ Vascular conditions: It treats skin conditions caused by vascular abnormalities such as facial redness, telangiectasia, and bulbous nose. Using laser wavelengths absorbed by blood vessels, it selectively destroys the vessels and improves vessel dilation. This is a part where results can be seen immediately, so people especially like the benefit of improving problems where blood vessels are more prominent.

▶ Reduced skin elasticity: It improves skin concerns caused by aging, such as fine lines, reduced elasticity, and sagging skin. By delivering thermal energy to the dermis, it promotes collagen production and increases skin elasticity.

▶ Enlarged pores: It reduces enlarged pores and improves skin texture. Laser energy promotes collagen production around the pores, tightening them and making the skin texture smoother.

▶ Acne scars: It improves acne scars and red marks. By inducing collagen regeneration, it fills in scar areas and promotes skin regeneration.

▶ Others: It can also be effective for hair removal, skin tone improvement, and skin texture improvement. However, it is not very common to use Excel V for hair removal. There are many lasers that are more specialized for hair removal.

Side Effects and Aftercare After Excel V Laser Treatment

Excel V laser is a safe procedure, but the following side effects may rarely occur.

▶ Redness, swelling: Redness or swelling may appear immediately after the procedure, but in most cases it disappears within 2 to 3 hours. ▶ Heat sensation, tingling: You may feel warmth or tingling in the treated area, but it is temporary. ▶ Dryness: The skin may become dry after laser treatment. ▶ Scabbing, bruising: If the treatment intensity is strong, scabbing or bruising may occur.

To minimize side effects and recover quickly, it is recommended to follow these aftercare instructions.

▶ Sun protection: Apply sunscreen carefully after the procedure. ▶ Moisturizing: Apply enough moisturizer to prevent the skin from becoming dry. ▶ Use of regenerative cream: Using a regenerative cream that helps promote skin recovery can also be helpful. ▶ Avoid excessive heat exposure: Please avoid steam rooms, saunas, and hot showers. ▶ Refrain from using scrubs and peeling products: Please avoid scrubs and peeling products for about a week after the procedure. ▶ Avoid alcohol and smoking: Please avoid alcohol and smoking for 1 to 3 days after the procedure.

Contraindications for Excel V Laser Treatment

▶ Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding ▶ People with keloid skin or poor skin regeneration ▶ People with photosensitive conditions or those taking photosensitizing medications ▶ People with inflammation or infection on the skin ▶ People who have implants inserted in the area treated with Excel V laser

Hospitals and Costs for Excel V Laser Treatment

Excel V laser treatment is performed at many dermatology clinics, but it is important to choose a clinic with medical staff who have extensive laser treatment experience. The cost of Excel V laser treatment varies depending on the clinic, treatment area, and number of sessions. In general, a single session starts at 90,000 to 100,000 KRW, and package programs can make it more affordable. At Bellvue Clinic, the price for 10 sessions is 700,000 KRW (VAT not included). The exact cost differs by clinic, so it is best to inquire in advance. Treatment is generally carried out 3 to 5 times or more at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks. The number of sessions may vary depending on the skin condition.
