Excel V PlusTreatment overview

Excel V Plus is a laser that treats visible blood vessels and pigmentation in short sessions. Its maximum output is up to 50% higher than the previous Excel V laser, and it can be used for a variety of skin conditions.
Its relatively wide laser spot (up to 16 mm) covers the area quickly, which keeps treatment time short. A cooling system keeps the skin surface cool during treatment, which can reduce downtime and pain.
