Persistent redness, visible vessels, and uneven pigmentation can make your skin appear tired or inflamed. The Excel V+ laser we use at South Yarra Dermatology has advanced dual-wavelength technology to precisely target these concerns.
Excel V+ uses two laser wavelengths to target specific concerns at different skin depths. One wavelength treats surface redness, fine vessels, and sun spots. The other wavelength reaches deeper layers, addressing larger veins or stubborn pigmentation.
These wavelengths work through selective heating, meaning only the targeted blood vessels or pigment absorb the laser energy while the surrounding skin remains protected. This precision allows effective treatment with minimal downtime.

Excel V+ laser therapy is a versatile treatment that uses advanced laser technology to target both vascular and pigmentation issues with precision. This non-invasive approach works by delivering specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by blood vessels or pigmented areas, effectively treating concerns while leaving surrounding skin unaffected. Excel V+ effectively addresses a range of vascular and pigmentation concerns, including:
We carefully assess darker pigmentation like melasma, as laser treatment is not always suitable. In those cases, we recommend safer alternatives to protect skin balance and tone.
Excel V+ laser offers benefits from reducing redness and visible vessels to fading pigmentation and improving skin tone. Before recommending treatment, we take time to understand what you hope to achieve and how Excel V+ might fit into your skincare goals. This helps us determine the appropriate laser settings and treatment approach for your skin.
The laser precisely targets blood vessels and pigmentation while leaving surrounding skin unharmed, minimising discomfort and reducing the risk of damage to healthy tissue.
Excel V+ can address multiple concerns, including rosacea, facial veins, sun damage, and pigmentation issues, making it a comprehensive solution for various skin conditions.
Most treatments require little to no recovery time, allowing you to return to your normal activities shortly after your session with minimal disruption to your schedule.
The system includes built-in cooling technology that helps manage discomfort during treatment, making the experience more comfortable than older laser technologies.
Improvements develop gradually as your body naturally clears treated vessels and pigmentation, creating natural-looking results without sudden, obvious changes.
The technology allows for adjustable settings that can be tailored to work safely across different skin tones and sensitivities, though careful assessment is always performed.
We begin with a consultation and skin assessment to confirm laser therapy is suitable for you. In the weeks leading up to treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning, as this affects treatment safety. Always inform us of any medications you’re taking or health changes since your consultation.
During the session, we cleanse your skin and protect your eyes with safety eyewear before applying brief pulses of laser energy. Most people tolerate the sensation well, describing it as a light snap. Afterwards, we cool the skin to ease any warmth.
On the day, arrive with clean skin free from makeup. You may notice some flushing or warmth for a few hours afterwards, and pigmented spots may darken briefly before flaking away. You can return to regular activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare while your skin settles. Results appear gradually over several weeks as treated vessels and pigmentation fade.
If redness, visible veins, or pigmentation concerns you, book a consultation at South Yarra Dermatology to discuss whether Excel V+ is right for your skin.
Unlike single-wavelength lasers, Excel V+ can address both superficial and deeper conditions in one system. It also features advanced cooling technology, protecting the skin while improving comfort and safety. The treatment is highly customisable, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.
The 532 wavelength targets surface redness, fine vessels, and sun spots. The 1064 wavelength penetrates deeper to treat larger vessels and pigmentation while remaining gentle on darker skin. Often, both are used in one session to address multiple concerns in a single treatment plan.
Treatment should be delayed if you have an active skin infection, recent sun exposure, or use medications that increase sensitivity. Pregnancy, recent isotretinoin use, or a tendency to form keloid scars also require caution. Your dermatologist will assess your medical history to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate.
The laser feels like quick, warm snaps against the skin. Most people find it tolerable, and the built-in cooling helps reduce discomfort. Sensitive areas can be numbed beforehand if needed. After treatment, the skin may feel slightly warm or flushed, settling within hours.
Sessions vary depending on the area and concern. Small spots may take only a few minutes, while full-face treatments for redness or pigmentation can take around 30 minutes. Your total appointment includes preparation and aftercare discussion.
This depends on your concern. Redness and rosacea often need 3 to 5 sessions, while pigment spots may clear after 1 to 3. Deeper veins may take more. Your dermatologist will personalise your treatment plan for optimal results.
Sessions are usually spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and reveal results before the next treatment. Maintenance sessions may be scheduled every few months or yearly, depending on your skin’s needs.
Treated vessels or spots are permanently removed, but new ones can form over time, especially with rosacea or sun exposure. Maintenance treatments and good skincare help sustain results.
Yes. It often complements skincare, chemical peels, or injectables as part of a broader plan. Your dermatologist will guide timing to ensure treatments work safely together.
