Excel V+ Laser Treatments in Calgary

For Redness, Rosacea, Visible Veins, Pigmentation & Skin Texture

When your skin shows redness, visible vessels, sun damage, uneven tone, or texture changes, it can feel frustrating, especially when makeup and skincare aren’t giving you the clarity you want.

At Vive Med Spa, we use the Excel V+ Laser System by Cutera to treat vascular, pigment, and texture concerns under physician-led care. It’s two wavelengths, 532 nm and 1064 nm, let our team match the treatment to the depth and type of concern being addressed.

Let your true complexion shine. In a few short in-office treatments, the Excel V+ laser gives your skin a clear, even look. It’s the fast and easy way to treat visible veins, skin discoloration, and wrinkles. No more hiding behind heavy concealers.

Concerns Excel V+ Helps Improve

Redness & Rosacea-Prone Skin

Persistent redness, flushing, and visible vessels can make your skin feel unpredictable. Excel V+ laser treatment helps reduce the appearance of diffuse redness and visible facial vessels associated with rosacea-prone skin.

Leg Veins

Small blue reticular veins and spider veins on the legs can affect your confidence. Excel V+ delivers focused laser energy to the affected veins, causing them to coagulate, collapse, and gradually fade over the following weeks. Most clients see lasting results from a short series of sessions.

By using dual wavelengths, Excel V+ laser treatment gives our clinical team the ability to tailor your treatment to the depth, colour, and nature of your concern.

What Your Treatment Looks Like

Your Excel V+ treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin, review your concerns, and determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much downtime is there after Excel V+ treatments?

Downtime is usually minimal. Depending on the concern treated and your skin’s response, you may have temporary redness, mild swelling, warmth, or bruising after treatment. These effects typically fade with time. Some vascular or pigmented lesions may temporarily darken before gradually fading. Your provider will review expected recovery and aftercare recommendations during your consultation.

Most clients tolerate Excel V+ laser treatments well. The device has active cooling for added comfort during treatment. The sensation depends on the area treated and the condition being addressed. Most clients describe it as cooling with a brief warm or light snapping feeling on the skin, followed by cooling. A topical anesthetic may be available from your provider for added comfort.

The number of treatments varies based on the concern treated, its severity, your skin type, and your goals. Most skin concerns need only one to two sessions, though some clients benefit from a short series. Your personalized plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Results develop gradually and vary from person to person. Redness or pigmentation concerns may begin to improve over the weeks following treatment. Collagen-supporting and textural improvements can continue to develop over time. Consistency and the right treatment spacing are important parts of reaching your goals.
Most clients return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Depending on the treatment performed, you may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, or certain skincare products for a short period following treatment. Your provider will review post-treatment instructions specific to your skin and treatment plan.
Recent sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners can increase the risk of side effects and aren’t recommended before or after treatment. Daily sunscreen and sun protection are important parts of maintaining your results and protecting your skin. Your provider will guide you on the appropriate timing for pre- and post-care.
Treatment suitability depends on several factors, including skin type, medical history, medications, and the concern being treated. A consultation is required to determine whether Excel V+ is appropriate for you. Our experienced team customizes treatment settings carefully based on your individual skin assessment.
Excel V+ is indicated for the treatment of a variety of benign vascular and pigmented lesions, including facial veins, diffuse redness, rosacea-related redness, sunspots, age spots, and certain texture-related concerns. Your provider will help determine whether Excel V+ aligns with your skin goals and treatment needs.
The best place to start is with a consultation. We’ll assess your skin, talk through your concerns and goals, review your medical history, and recommend the right treatment options for you. At Vive, we build a treatment plan around your skin, not just a single recommendation.
