Name: Excel V
Brand: Leif Rogers, MD
Rating: 5 (95 reviews)

Excel V is one of the most advanced treatments available at LRMD, using a highly precise laser system to target vascular skin conditions. We’re proud to bring this innovative dual-wavelength treatment to patients in Beverly Hills, Pasadena, and beyond.

Precision Treatment for Vascular Concerns

Visible veins and persistent redness often resist creams and other topical treatments entirely, requiring a laser specifically designed for vascular tissue. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer Excel V treatments to patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena dealing with facial redness, rosacea, and visible veins that have not responded to other approaches.

What Is Excel V?

Excel V is a vascular-specific laser that uses two distinct wavelengths to target blood vessels of varying sizes, from fine facial capillaries to larger visible veins. This dual wavelength design allows treatment of a broader range of vascular concerns within a single device. While every patient has their own motivations for seeking treatment for their visible veins, many come to us for the following benefits:

Targeted treatment for fine and larger vessels alike
Reduction in facial redness and rosacea symptoms
Improvement in visible veins on the face and body
A precise, vessel-specific approach to treatment

Why Choose Leif Rogers, MD?

Vascular treatment carries real risk when performed without a clear understanding of blood vessel anatomy and how skin responds to heat-based energy. Here, our team’s surgical background sets us apart. Our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, built his career on microsurgical precision, and that same understanding of vascular structures informs our aesthetic team's approach to Excel V. Every patient in Beverly Hills and Pasadena who receives a vascular treatment has their treatment planned with anatomical depth of knowledge that extends well beyond standard aesthetic training. Our goal is to reduce your risk of discoloration while still achieving meaningful results.

What to Expect From Your Excel V Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Matching Wavelength to Vessel Size

Excel V's two wavelengths allow your aesthetician to select the setting best suited to your specific vessels, whether that means fine capillaries near the skin's surface or larger, deeper veins that require a different energy profile entirely. Your treatment will be fully customized to your needs, ensuring strategic, effective application.

Targeting Overlapping Concerns

Excel V is frequently used to address a range of vascular concerns, and common treatment goals include the following:

Facial redness and rosacea
Visible spider veins on the face
Larger veins on the legs and body
Broken capillaries around the nose and cheeks

Your treatment plan will be based on the size, depth, and location of the vessels involved. During your initial consultation, your aesthetician will walk you through what’s possible for each of your chosen treatment zones.

Designed for Ease and Comfort

To begin your session, your aesthetician will cleanse your treatment area and may apply a cooling gel depending on the vessels being treated. Next, they’ll apply the Excel V device directly over targeted vessels, delivering laser energy in controlled pulses. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

A Customized Treatment Schedule

Most facial redness and rosacea concerns respond within two to four sessions spaced four weeks apart, while larger visible veins may require additional sessions depending on their size and depth. After your first treatment, your aesthetician will assess your skin’s response and establish an optimal treatment schedule that evolves with you.

Recovery Focused on Vessel Response

Recovery after Excel V varies depending on the size and location of vessels treated. Most patients notice mild redness or warmth in the treated area immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours to a day. Larger treated veins may darken and become more visible temporarily before fading over several weeks as your body clears them.

Most patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena return to normal activities immediately, with no significant downtime required after most sessions. We recommend limiting sun exposure for at least 48 hours to allow your skin time to heal.

Your Post-Treatment Process

Following your Excel V session, our team will share aftercare guidance specific to the vessels treated during your appointment. This guidance may include the following:

Sun protection and exposure requirements
Gentle cleansing recommendations
Guidance on the expected darkening of larger treated veins
Activity limitations for treated leg veins, if applicable
Side effects to monitor
Compression garment guidance for larger vein treatment, if needed

Over the coming weeks, you’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice for regular follow-up appointments with your aesthetician. They’ll assess vessel clearance and determine whether additional treatments would benefit your results.

Clearer Skin, Vessel by Vessel

Because Excel V targets vessels directly, many patients notice smaller vessels fading within days, while larger veins clear more gradually over several weeks. Facial redness and rosacea often show steady improvement over the course of a completed treatment series.

Excel V Frequently Asked Questions

Can Excel V treat leg veins as well as facial redness?

Yes. Excel V's dual wavelengths allow it to effectively treat both fine facial blood vessels and larger leg veins. Your aesthetician will customize the treatment settings based on the size, depth, and location of the vessels being treated.

Is Excel V a permanent solution for rosacea?

No. While Excel V can significantly reduce the visible redness and blood vessels associated with rosacea, the condition is chronic. Most patients benefit from periodic maintenance treatments to address new vessels that develop over time.

Will treated veins disappear immediately after treatment?

No. Treated veins often darken temporarily before your body gradually clears them over the following several weeks. While immediate improvement is uncommon, the veins typically fade as the healing process progresses.

Is Excel V painful?

Most patients describe Excel V treatment as causing a mild snapping or warming sensation. Discomfort is generally minimal, and cooling measures are often used to improve comfort, particularly when treating larger veins.

Can Excel V be combined with other skincare treatments?

Yes. Excel V is frequently combined with treatments such as Stellar M22 or medical-grade skincare to address pigmentation and vascular concerns as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Your aesthetician will recommend the appropriate timing for combination treatments based on your individual goals.
