Westlake Dermatology is the first cosmetic dermatology practice in Texas to offer the Excel V™ for the treatment of leg veins, facial redness, sun spots, scars and skin rejuvenation.
The Cutera® Excel V™ is used to treat a variety of vascular conditions. Using a unique high power green laser, it precisely treats visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins and skin discoloration. The Excel V also has a longer wavelength (1064nm) laser for targeting purple leg veins, periorbital blue veins and deeper vascular structures. Using the two wavelengths, the Excel V heats and eliminates targeted blood vessels and pigmented spots, ultimately restoring normal skin tone and color.
How does Excel V work?
The laser light is absorbed by abnormal blood vessels in the skin, which heats and eliminates the vessels, ultimately restoring normal skin tone and color. The Excel V uses a unique cooling technology that enables higher doses of the treatment directly to the affected area, with less pain than traditional laser systems.

The Excel V is FDA-cleared for the following conditions.
- Spider veins

The Excel V is an ideal treatment for aging, sun-damaged skin that is showing a combination of red and brown discoloration as well as textural unevenness. A global treatment that targets all of these signs of aging can yield clearer, more youthful glowing skin.
Treatment with the Excel V laser can be customized to each patient’s unique skin condition and can be adjusted to treat different depths and sizes, from superficial blemishes to deep vascular birthmarks.
