Unwanted blemishes such as broken capillaries, veins, and birthmarks can give the skin a red flush that is often mistaken for a sunburn. But thanks to advances in laser technology, it is now possible to safely and effectively treat these types of vascular conditions without invasive surgery. Our practice offers the Cutera Excel V™ laser to reduce redness and improve skin tone. This laser procedure is especially effective for facial veins, port wine stains, and spider vein treatment in Dallas.
Our board-certified dermatologists can help you feel more confident and comfortable with effective vein treatment options. We treat men and women from throughout Plano, Frisco, and other neighboring communities. Request a consultation online or call (214) 631-7546 to find out more. When you schedule a consultation for cosmetic procedures, you will also receive a customized “Total Skin Rejuvenation” plan to help you achieve your ideal look.
How Does the Excel Laser Vein Treatment Work?
Most skin redness is caused by either an increased number of blood vessels or blood vessels that are enlarged or dilated. The Cutera Excel V laser creates green light energy that is absorbed by the red color of blood vessels and is converted to heat, sealing off the tiny vessels in the most superficial part of the skin. Like other lasers, the Excel V can be used with a minimal risk of complications, making it an ideal treatment for people of all ages.
The Cutera Excel V laser is a minimally invasive procedure that takes less than an hour to perform. Most patients are immediately able to return to their regular routines with little downtime. The Cutera Excel V offers several different modes if more aggressive treatment is necessary. Several treatments of the same area may be required for maximum fading, and these treatments are generally spaced several weeks apart.

Laser Vein Treatment Results and Recovery
After your laser vein treatment, you may return to your regular daily activities; there is no downtime required. We do recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours after treatment. Treated areas may be red for the first few hours, but the surface of the skin is not affected by the laser. Treated veins clear away gradually as the body absorbs them. Improvement is typically noticeable about 2 to 6 weeks after treatment; final results take several months to attain. In most cases, multiple treatments are needed for optimal results.
