The first step to getting Cutera excel V + laser is to schedule an in-person visit to Geria Dermatology for a consultation with either one of our board certified providers. During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, concerns, and expectations for the procedure. We encourage full transparency of medical history and expectations so that we can arrive at the best possible treatment plan and avoid unnecessary risks.
Cutera Excel V + Laser treatments are safe on all skin types. Please disclose the medications you are taking to our skin care specialist before your treatments begin.
Our team will evaluate your target areas of concern. Virtually any part of your body can be safely treated. The face, chest, and neck are the most popular areas for treatment. At the end of the consultation, we aim to arrive at a mutually agreed upon treatment plan, after which you can schedule your Cutera excel V + laser appointment for a convenient time.
By gently heating the upper dermis, Cutera excel V + laser stimulates collagen growth. In addition, small facial capillaries are targeted by the laser, resulting in diminished redness, and improvement in rosacea and other acne and lesions. Over the course of your treatments, Cutera excel V + laser can help restore your skin’s youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage, or scars. You will see a healthier complexion as large pores are reduced in size, and minor imperfections are diminished. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.
Excel V+ treatments can feel similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Depending on the procedure, a cooled treatment tip will be in contact with the skin to protect and provide comfort to the area. With each painless treatment lasting under half an hour, the procedure can be quickly performed even on your lunch break. And patients can return to work immediately after, as there is no downtime.
Redness and/or swelling can be expected following treatment and will resolve within a few days. Treated brown spots will darken and slough off within 3 to 6 days. For full face treatments, swelling will peak 24 to 48 hours post treatment and usually resolves within a few days. Typically, you can wear make-up and return to normal activities immediately. Your provider may recommend a topical steroid to reduce swelling as needed.

The total price of the treatment plan is dependent on the number of treatment sessions required to achieve the desired results. Additionally, the number and size of treated areas are important factors in determining the cost of your Cutera excel V + laser treatment.
