Hello, I'm hoping someone can help. I have broken capillaries on my cheeks and one on my nose. The ones on my face are matted. I went to a dermatologist and her medical aesthetician did a BBL treatment. I returned 3 weeks later for a 2nd treatment, but since no improvement, went with Excel V. Then 6 weeks later had ExcelV #2 (7J, 10mm, 10ms), then #3 (7.4J, 10mm, 8ms), then #4 (8.4J, 10mm, 8ms). Don't know settings for #1 or 2. Med aesthetician did all treatments. Has over 20yrs exp.
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!
Yesterday I had my 1st out of 3 Cutera Excel V laser treatments for periorbital blue veins under both eyes. I believe the periorbital veins treated under each eye have caused localized swelling exactly where the veins traced. By contrast though, my tear troughs appear more hollow. Is this normal and just a result of the contrast between the outer periorbital area swelling and the tear trough?
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.
I had a Cutera Excel V laser treatment for spider veins and redness on my cheek and chin. I did the treatment on Tuesday, today Thursday my eyes were closed shut when I woke up. My face is so tight and swollen :-( I called my doctor yesterday and he prescribed me Prednisone 20mg. are the red scabs will go away soon? Help!!!
I had excel v beam yesterday (Friday). I woke up today and am so swollen my eyes are almost shut! Its Saturday, and I am panicking because I can't miss work Monday. My dr said to expect slight swelling but never mentioned anything like this. In fact he told me I would be fine for the plans I had for tonight (Saturday)! What can I do to help the swelling go down, and will I be okay for work on Monday, which is I guess Day 4?
