What is Excel V+, and what does it do?

Excel V+ (Cutera) is a vascular and pigment laser with two wavelengths. 532 nm KTP is absorbed strongly by haemoglobin and by melanin near the surface, so it clears flushing, fine capillaries, red spots and shallow brown spots. 1064 nm Nd:YAG reaches deeper, for larger vessels around the nose, deeper redness and overall tone, and is the safer wavelength on Asian skin. The handpiece has sapphire contact cooling, so the skin surface stays cool while the pulse reaches the target, and the doctor switches wavelength by target rather than treating the whole face one way. Triple mode adds a 1064 nm microsecond pass across the face for tone, pores and a mild collagen effect.

At Boom Dermatology in Seomyeon, Excel V+ is the first choice for a face that has red and brown together: background flushing with sun spots, rosacea with freckles, capillaries beside pigment. For redness alone with hair or deeper vessels, Clarity; for diffuse sun damage across the whole face, BBL Hero; for brown alone, pico toning. Patients who ask for Vbeam are shown what we use instead.

What Busan patients ask before Excel V+
  • My face has red and brown at the same time. Do I need two different lasers?
  • Is a 532 nm laser safe on Asian skin, or will it leave dark marks?
  • Excel V or Vbeam: what decides which I should get?
  • How many sessions before my tone actually looks even?
  • What does triple mode add, and is it worth ₩55,000 more?

All of these come up most weeks at our Seomyeon skin clinic. The page answers them in order.

02 Who it suits

Who is Excel V+ for?

Good candidates

  • Red and brown together: flushing or capillaries plus sun spots or freckles
  • Broken capillaries on the nose and cheeks
  • Red spots, cherry angiomas, red acne marks
  • Rosacea background redness, with maintenance understood
  • Uneven tone with pores and dullness (triple mode)

We will suggest something else

  • Melasma, which wants low-energy toning and Sylfirm X, not a vascular pass
  • Tanned or sunburned skin now; wait four weeks
  • Darker skin types, where 532 nm is avoided and 1064 nm or RF is used
  • Active cold sores, infection or an acne flare on the area
  • Pregnancy; an event inside a week

03 The visit

What happens at an Excel V+ session in Seomyeon?

This is how an Excel V+ visit runs at Boom Dermatology, a skin clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, from the first message to the review.

1

Message first

A daylight photo without make-up and what bothers you. The doctor replies with the device, the likely session count and the VAT-included price.

2

Consultation

Pigment is separated from redness, melasma is screened for, previous lasers and sun exposure are asked. Device and settings go on your record.

3

Cleanse and cool

Make-up off, eye shields on; cooling gel or numbing cream depending on the device.

4

Test pulses, then the pass

A few test pulses on the jawline to read the response, then the full pass by the doctor.

5

Out the door

Sunscreen before you leave; make-up from the same evening for toning, the next day for vascular work.

6

Review and rhythm

A photo at two to four weeks sets the interval; a review at the fifth session decides continue, stop or switch.

How does Boom Dermatology dose Excel V+?

Excel V+ is dosed by wavelength, spot size and fluence per target, with test pulses first; the plan is written per area.

532 nm for the surface

Flushing, fine capillaries, red marks and shallow brown spots: the pulse that darkens the target on the day.

1064 nm for depth

Nasal vessels, deeper redness and tone; the wavelength we lean on for Asian skin.

Test pulses, then fluence

Three test pulses on the jawline read the response before the full pass; settings go on your record.

07 Questions, answered properly

My face has red and brown together. Do I need two lasers?

No, one laser with two wavelengths, which is the point of Excel V+. The doctor treats a capillary with 532 nm, moves to a deeper vessel with 1064 nm and back to a brown spot with 532 nm in the same pass. A clinic with a single-wavelength vascular laser needs a second machine and a second visit for the brown; at Boom Dermatology it is one sitting.

Is 532 nm safe on Asian skin?

Safe at the right settings on lighter Asian skin, and avoided on darker skin. 532 nm is absorbed by melanin as well as blood, so on skin with more pigment it can darken the surface; that is why the doctor does test pulses on the jawline first, uses 1064 nm wherever it does the job, and will say so if your skin is better served by Clarity or RF. Post-inflammatory darkening is the risk every setting at our Seomyeon skin clinic is designed around.

Excel V or Vbeam: what decides?

The target. Vbeam is a 595 nm pulsed-dye laser, excellent for diffuse flushing and port-wine stains; Excel V+ reaches the same vessels at 532 nm and adds 1064 nm for depth and brown. For the mixed red-and-brown face that most patients bring us, Excel V+ does more in one visit; at our Busan skin clinic we chose it over Vbeam for that reason and say so on the Vbeam page.

How many sessions before tone looks even?

Discrete capillaries and red spots can go in one. Background flushing and mixed tone take three to five sessions four to six weeks apart, with a fixed-light photo at each; the four-week photo is the honest measure, not the mirror on the day. Rosacea is controlled, not cured, and needs a maintenance session once or twice a year.

What does triple mode add?

A third pass of 1064 nm in microsecond mode across the whole face, which heats the dermis gently for tone, pores and a mild collagen effect, the same idea as a Genesis-type treatment. Worth the ₩55,000 for dull, uneven skin with pores; not needed if the goal is vessels alone, and we say so to every patient in Busan. The doctor at Boom Dermatology tells you which before you pay.
