For the millions of Americans coping with the physical, emotional and social effects of vascular skin conditions, the search for a simple and cost-effective treatment is frustrating. But good news is here because doctors in Marietta are the first in Georgia to have unveiled a new laser treatment to meet the needs of those suffering with rosacea, spider veins, skin discoloration, and other cosmetic conditions.
Dr. Yellin of Marietta Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center and Dr. Knautz of Marietta Dermatology and the Skin Cancer Center are now treating their patients’ facial and leg vascular skin conditions with Excel V™ (from San Francisco-based Cutera, Inc.), a new noninvasive laser system designed to deliver customized treatments.
The Excel V system uses a unique high-power green laser to precisely treat visible vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, vascular lesions and skin discoloration. 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 technology in the Excel V has been proven effective in treating a wide range of skin conditions, including rosacea, facial veins, port wine stains, cherry angiomas and telangiectasia.
Dr. Yellin of Marietta Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center says the Excel V laser system provides a safe and effective alternative to non-laser treatment options for these skin conditions. “To date, treatments for some of these conditions have been limited due to their invasiveness or unwanted side effects, Excel V provides a reliable, noninvasive treatment that is highly effective and well tolerated by patients,” Dr. Yellin said. “The design of the laser includes a unique cooling mechanism to prevent damage to surrounding skin, and minimal downtime for patients.”
Treatment with the Excel V laser system 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 lesions. For patient safety, treatment is not recommended while skin is tanned by self tanners or sun exposure.
