Millions of Americans are affected by unsightly broken blood vessels on their face, spider veins on the legs and skin discoloration. Many also suffer from a condition called Rosacea, which causes tiny blood vessels in the skin of the face to dilate excessively, creating an appearance of diffuse redness of the cheeks and flushing. People affected by these skin conditions are often self-conscious about them and seek help from their physicians. Unfortunately, until recently, treatment options have been limited. Costly cosmetic creams and makeup only temporarily mask the underlying condition.
Excel V laser is a new approach to treating these vascular skin conditions that puts patient safety and comfort first. The system uses a unique high powered laser that is absorbed by abnormal blood vessels in the skin. The laser eliminates the abnormal vessels, ultimately restoring normal skin tone and color. It can be used to treat abnormal blood vessels of various sizes. Unlike many other lasers, it is safe to use on a wide range of skin tones. It is unique in its ability to provide various wavelengths of laser light that can be fully customized to an individual’s particular situation. This flexibility allows for successful treatment of a wide range of conditions.
Treatment sessions typically last approximately 20 minutes. There is usually only mild discomfort that goes away immediately after treatment. There may be some temporary discoloration or bruising associated with treatment. This will vary based upon the individual and his or her condition. However, there is usually not any significant “down-time” associated with treatment.
Shore Vascular & Vein Center in Somers Point is pleased to be the first vascular center in the region to offer Excel V laser to their patients. Dr. Jeffrey Gosin, a Board Certified Vascular Surgeon and Medical Director of the Center, says, “The addition of Excel V laser to our practice has really expanded the types of conditions that we can treat. Not all abnormal veins occur on individuals’ legs. In fact, we see more and more people who have unsightly veins on their faces or other areas of their bodies. Excel V allows for safe and reliable treatment of these conditions in our office, with minimal discomfort and quick recovery. We have been very impressed with the results.”
