Excel V Laser: Does It Burn Away Facial Redness?

Hello.

I’m Wi Young-jin from Beauty’s Doctor.

When looking into redness that easily appears on the cheeks or

small visible blood vessels beside the nose,

you often come across the names

V Laser and Excel V.

However,

when people see the explanation that “laser treatment reduces redness,”

many also have concerns like these:

“Does it burn red skin with a laser?”

“Could it make my skin even more sensitive?”

In short,

Excel V is not a device that erases redness

by burning the skin.

It is a laser that selectively targets

the blood vessels, which are one of the causes

of skin appearing red.

Redness is often not caused by

the surface of the skin itself being painted red.

Instead, it can appear when blood vessels

close to the skin’s surface show through.

Excel V is described as a treatment for vascular redness

that uses the way laser energy is absorbed

by pigments inside these blood vessels.

How Does Excel V Target Redness?

Excel V

is known as a laser device used

when treating blood vessels and pigmentation.

The key point is

that laser light is absorbed by hemoglobin

in the blood.

Hemoglobin is

the pigment in the blood

that makes it appear red.

Facial flushing and visible small blood vessels

often occur when blood vessels

close to the skin’s surface show through.

When laser energy is absorbed

by the pigment inside these blood vessels,

a thermal reaction occurs,

which can be used to help manage

vascular redness.

However, not all redness

is caused by blood vessels.

The approach may differ depending on whether it is

redness left after inflammation,

dilated blood vessels,

or a skin-barrier issue.

What Is the Difference Between 532 nm and 1064 nm?

Excel V

is known as a device that can use

two different wavelengths.

This is because the appropriate wavelength

may vary depending on the depth and type of redness.

532 nm

is often discussed for concerns closer to the surface,

such as redness in the relatively shallow layers of the skin,

fine visible blood vessels, and red marks.

1064 nm

is sometimes used when treating

deeper or thicker blood vessels.

In other words, even when the concern is redness,

the wavelength may vary depending on whether it is

superficial redness or deeper vascular redness.

During treatment,

cooling is used together to cool the skin’s surface

and reduce surface irritation.

However, which wavelength is used

and at what intensity

may vary depending on the condition of the skin

and the cause of the redness.

What Concerns Is It Commonly Discussed For?

Excel V

is often mentioned in consultations for

facial flushing that develops easily,

visible small blood vessels beside the nose or on the cheeks,

and red marks left after acne.

It may also be discussed together with

concerns about blemishes or pigmentation.

However, just because the skin appears red

does not necessarily mean Excel V is needed.

The reason the skin looks red

could be dilated blood vessels,

or it could be skin-barrier damage or an inflammatory response.

If the skin is thin or sensitive,

or if it tends to develop a sensation of heat easily,

the intensity and treatment intervals

need to be considered more carefully.

Therefore, before focusing on the name of the device,

it is necessary to identify

what is causing the redness.

Things to Know Before Treatment

Because Excel V is a laser treatment,

temporary redness, a sensation of heat,

swelling, or stinging may occur afterward.

Areas where blood vessels are prominent

may look darker after treatment

or may temporarily feel more sensitive.

Rather than determining the outcome from a single session,

treatment is often planned over several sessions

at intervals of a few weeks,

while considering the condition of the skin

and the depth of the redness.

However, the number of sessions and intervals

are not fixed.

They may vary depending on skin type,

the cause of the redness,

and sensitivity.

The important point is not to use excessive intensity,

but to adjust the wavelength and intensity

to match the cause and depth of the redness.

Things to Check Before Your Consultation

Before consulting about Excel V,

it is a good idea to check the following:

• Whether the cause of the redness is vascular

• Whether it is flushing, visible small blood vessels, or red marks

• Whether your skin is thin or sensitive

• Whether your skin tends to develop heat easily

• Which wavelength is being considered: 532 nm or 1064 nm

• The possibility of redness and a sensation of heat after treatment

• Treatment intervals and recovery care methods

In particular, flushing

often involves a combination of the skin barrier,

temperature changes, inflammation, and vascular responses.

Therefore, rather than simply thinking,

“Because it is red, I need a laser,”

it is important to first check

whether it is appropriate for your current skin condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Does Excel V remove redness by burning the skin?

It does not remove redness

by burning the skin.

It can be understood as a treatment for vascular redness

that uses the fact that laser energy is absorbed

by hemoglobin inside blood vessels.

Q. What is the difference between 532 nm and 1064 nm?

532 nm

is often discussed for relatively superficial flushing,

small visible blood vessels,

and red marks.

1064 nm

is sometimes used when looking at

deeper or thicker blood vessels.

The choice may vary depending on

the depth and type of redness.

Q. Is one session enough?

It depends on the condition of the skin.

Rather than deciding based on a single session,

treatment is often planned over multiple sessions

while observing the cause of the redness

and the skin’s response.

Q. Is Excel V also used for red marks left after acne?

If red marks left after acne

are related to vascular redness,

Excel V may be discussed as a treatment option.

However, the approach may differ

depending on whether the marks are pigmentation,

redness after inflammation,

or whether acne inflammation is still present.

Excel V

is not a device that erases redness

by burning the skin.

Rather, it uses a laser that reacts with pigments

inside blood vessels to address

vascular redness.

It is often discussed in consultations

for concerns that appear red,

such as flushing, visible small blood vessels,

and red marks left after acne.

However, the cause of redness

can vary from person to person.

The appropriate approach may differ

depending on whether the issue involves

blood vessels, the skin barrier,

or an inflammatory response.

It is best to confirm through a medical consultation

whether this approach is appropriate

for your current skin condition

before making a treatment plan.
