How does the Excel V Laser Work?
The Excel V uses a concentrated beam of light to precisely target the abnormal blood vessels within the port-wine stain. This light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, where it is converted to heat. The heat breaks down the vessels, causing them to shrink and fade over time. Most people require a series of treatments to achieve the best possible results.
Finding a qualified dermatologist
If you or a loved one are considering treatment for a port-wine stain, it’s important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Jochen. An experienced specialist will carefully assess your individual case and discuss realistic expectations for laser therapy. They can help you understand the expected number of treatments, potential side effects, and aftercare instructions – all of which are important for a safe and successful outcome.
