How Does The Excel V+ Treat Veins?

The Excel V+ treats veins using vascular laser technology that targets the hemoglobin in blood vessels. It delivers pulses of high-energy light to the affected veins, which are absorbed by the blood within the vessels. This energy causes the veins to coagulate and collapse, effectively fading the appearance of the veins over time. The Excel V+ is highly precise, selectively treating the targeted veins without damaging surrounding skin.

Are Laser Treatments for Veins Permanent?

Laser vein treatments provide long-lasting results, but they are not always permanent. While the treated veins are effectively removed, new veins can develop over time due to factors such as aging, genetics, or lifestyle. Maintenance treatments may be needed in the future to address new or recurring veins, but the results for the treated veins themselves are typically durable.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

Most clients typically require 1 to 3 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the size, type, and location of the veins being treated. Larger veins or more extensive vascular issues may require additional treatments for optimal results.

Things To Know Before Your Laser Vein Removal Treatment:

To prepare for laser vein removal treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks prior to your session, as this can increase the risk of pigmentation changes. You should also avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain supplements for about 1 week before treatment, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider. On the day of the treatment, arrive with clean skin and avoid wearing tight clothing over the treatment area. Discuss any medical conditions or medications with your clinician to ensure the treatment is safe for you. Laser Vein Removal cannot be performed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. For optimal results we recommend you follow these guidelines.
