Precision dual-wavelength laser technology for vascular and pigmented lesions — delivering visible results with minimal downtime.
How It Works
The Excel V+ combines two powerful laser wavelengths in a single platform. The 532nm KTP wavelength targets superficial vascular and pigmented lesions, while the 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeper to treat larger vessels and deeper pigmentation.
Laser energy is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin in blood vessels or melanin in pigmented lesions. Targeted vessels collapse and are naturally absorbed by the body. Pigmented cells break down and gradually fade, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin.
The integrated CoolView™ sapphire cooling system protects the skin surface and enhances patient comfort throughout the treatment.
What to Expect
- Sessions typically last 15–45 minutes depending on the treatment area
- Minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activities the same day
- Some temporary redness or mild swelling may occur
- Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results
Conditions Treated
Laser Genesis: The No-Downtime Laser Facial
Suited for All Skin Types and Tones
Non-invasive cosmetic laser skin rejuvenation using gentle laser energy to improve the look and feel of your skin — stimulating collagen production with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
How Laser Genesis Works
Laser Genesis uses a non-ablative 1064nm Nd:YAG laser to deliver gentle heat into the dermis without damaging the outer layer of skin. This controlled thermal stimulation promotes the production of collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.
The treatment also targets microvasculature beneath the skin's surface, helping reduce redness and tone irregularities for a smoother, more uniform complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Excel V+ laser?
The Excel V+ is an advanced laser system by Cutera that combines two powerful wavelengths — 532nm KTP and 1064nm Nd:YAG — in one platform. It treats vascular conditions like spider veins and rosacea, performs Laser Genesis skin rejuvenation facials, and provides effective laser hair removal.
What does Laser Genesis treat?
Laser Genesis treats fine lines and wrinkles, diffuse redness and rosacea, enlarged pores, acne scars and superficial scarring, uneven skin tone, sun damage, and blotchiness. It stimulates collagen production for overall skin rejuvenation.
How many Laser Genesis sessions do I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 8 treatments, typically spaced several weeks apart. Results build progressively as collagen remodels over time. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your specific skin concerns.
Is Laser Genesis painful?
Laser Genesis is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle warming of the skin. No anesthesia is required, and you can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Does Excel V+ work for rosacea?
Yes, the Excel V+ is highly effective for treating rosacea. Its dual-wavelength technology targets the underlying blood vessels that cause redness, while Laser Genesis helps reduce diffuse redness and improve overall skin tone. Many patients see significant improvement after a series of treatments.
Can Excel V+ remove spider veins?
Yes, the Excel V+ is one of the most advanced lasers for spider vein removal. Its 532nm KTP wavelength targets superficial vessels while the 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength treats deeper veins. The laser energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and fade.

The integrated CoolView™ sapphire cooling system enhances comfort and safety during treatment. A consultation is recommended to determine if you are a good candidate.
How long is a typical Excel V+ treatment session?
Treatment times vary depending on the modality and area being treated. Vein and pigment correction sessions typically last 15 to 45 minutes. Laser Genesis facials are usually 15 to 30 minutes. Laser hair removal sessions vary based on the size of the treatment area.
Is there downtime after Excel V+ treatments?
Most Excel V+ treatments involve minimal to no downtime. Patients can typically return to their normal activities the same day. Some temporary redness or warmth in the treated area may occur but usually resolves quickly.
