What it is
| What it is | Excel V+ is a specialized vascular treatment laser equipped with two wavelengths: a 532nm KTP laser and a 1,064nm Nd:YAG laser. The 532nm wavelength is selectively absorbed by superficial blood vessels and pigments, while the 1,064nm wavelength reaches deeper vascular lesions. It is characterized by selective absorption by hemoglobin in blood vessels, coagulating and closing only the vessels without damaging surrounding tissues. It is used for various vascular lesions such as facial flushing, telangiectasia, rosacea, hemangiomas, and cherry angiomas. |
