I'm having Excel V laser treatment to reduce global redness on my face. What is the best antihistamine to take in order to reduce redness and swelling post treatment? Also, my dermatologist recommended I apply Skinmedica TNS recovery complex for two weeks after treatment to ensure blood vessel absorption. However I'm interested in an alternative recommendation for a post treatment cream or serum? Thanks in advance!
Im actually sobbing right now because I dont know what to do. I need professional help. I am Asian and I got Excel V to lighten and get rid of the freckles and sun spots on my face. Within 24 hours, the spots on my face got dark and elevated. They have come off. At day 10, on my forehead, I have these zebra marks where the scabs came off! It is SO pronounced and I have no idea what to do! My doctor gave me a prescription lightening cream to put on my forehead but I dont want to! Im scared!
I've recently had two treatments of Cutera Excel V laser on my face. Both treatments had no affect on my broken blood vessels. In the past I had Vbeam treatments on my broken blood vessels which created purpura - they faded away in a couple of weeks which i was very happy with! However I can't find any clinics/derms in my city that have Vbeam as supposedly the Cutera Excel V is the newer better version... What setting should it be on to create purpura and remove my tiny blood vessels?
I had normal expected swelling of the treated area for next 3 days. Day 4 & 5 (today) the entire left side of my face is swollen, not just eye area. Is this normal? Thank you.
I had my entire face done with the excel v laser two days ago. I had significant swelling yesterday but I would say has gone down by about 50% today. However, I have sinus issues and am having horrible headaches. I was told not to take any pain medications for two weeks. Is there anything over the counter I can take that won't cause the swelling to return, or is that even the concern with taking them after this treatment? Thank you!
I had an Excel V treatment on my face and neck Monday afternoon -was told I may experience some swelling -72 hours later and I wake up with my eyes swollen shut. swelling is significant and has not gone down. Is this normal? Perhaps just a very aggressive treatment? Treatment was for general redness - i can get quite red at times, although I was not very red at the time of treatment. The treatment was not overly painful.
Hi: I would like to know if the Vbeam Perfecta or the Excel V would provide better results in clearing Keratosis Pilaris Rubra (facial redness without papules)? I read online that the Excel V absorbs redness five times greater than the Vbeam, making the Excel V the new gold standard for treating red vessels. I am considering either laser and want to be treated with the laser that has the best chance of improving the redness given the challenge of clearing KPR. Thanks for your feedback.

Are they permanent scars and damages?hanks
I have acne scars and and excess redness on my face. I wanted to know if they can be done together. Ive read that excel V is done between 6-8 weeks and laser genesis is between 2-4 weeks. Is is possible that laser genesis can be done between excel v treatments? And if so, how much time is needed between the two procedures?
