Cutera Excel V Laser for Port Wine Stains and Broken Capillaries - British Columbia

WORTH IT$350
Had the excel v laser by cutera to treat two bright red spots on my cheek (each about around 1cm x 2 cm in size). The doctor said they were both port wine stains with broken capillaries. I had one session three weeks ago and am extremely happy with the results. The broken capillaries have vanished and the red patches are much smaller and lighter. I highly recommend this procedure, but PLEASE NOTE that each of the spots turned dark purple for around 1 week. The Excel V is advertised as "little to no down time" with a possibility of redness or swelling. This is a major understatement. If you are planning on having this done just be advised that you will be swollen for 2 days and have dark purple, nearly navy blue marks on your face for nearly a week. The doctor was great and advised me before the procedure that this would happen, though this information isn't widely available when researching the Excel V independently.

I had the excel done and I'm so glad I read this. I was told little down time with possibly a little puffiness and I've been really nervous b/c I have what your describing. I'm not bruised but it's red/ maybe purplish looking a little scabbed. I thought something was really wrong bc was told brusising and puffiness but nothing like this. Mine almost looks like scabs. Do you remember much about when you had this done?

I have what looks like red marks and some areas look like scabs. Did you guys have the same thing?? I just got it done yesterday and I’m a little freaked out by all the red scab looking marks on my face. Please let me know.
Thanks for taking the time to share your personal experience with us. I've never heard of the Excel V laser, very interesting. Do you have to have multiple treatments?
Would you consider sharing some before and progress photos with the community?
