Blue Veins Under my Eyes…gone!
I’ve had a visible blue vein under my left eye for years. After my last rhinoplasty the bruising under that eye seemed to never fully go away and it seemed the blue vein had gotten more visible and bigger. People would ask what happened to me as if I had a black eye and I am 4 months post op f...
Prolonged Swelling Post-Excel-V
I had Excel-V for diffuse redness 6 days ago. Nothing seemed out of the norm during the treatment and no scabs or bruises afterwards. Had some typical swelling in the first few days after treatment. But now I have these residual what looks like swelling / hive / welt to two areas - one on each...
Excel V Laser - still have redness from procedure sites 10 days later
Had Excel V laser treatment on face on 1/4/23 and still have redness from procedure sites 10 days later. Skin was not like this prior, not as big and red anyways and some spots had no spot. Is this normal or should I be concerned that my skin was damaged?
Swelling and Redness Post EXCEL V
Hi, I had an excel V done two days ago to treat rosacea with a board certified dermatologist who specializes in laser. With that said, I believe I have been burned as I’m very red (getting redder) and extremely swollen (like a chipmunk). The photos don’t show the swelling, it’s signi...
Cutera XL V Laser for Sun Damaged Hands
I am 51 years old. I use sunscreen on my face since 24 years old, but my hands have developed sun spots throughout the years. I had a skin cancer screening and my doctor told me I could remove the sun spots with a laser. I made an appointment and today I had my first treatment. It felt like...
Decided to try Excel V for flushed face
Ongoing rosacea and flushing that I had controlled with IPL in the past. Decided to try Excel V for flushed face. My face is puffed up drastically on the second day. IPL was nothing compared to this post laser. If you decide to have this particular laser done, do not have any events planned...
Excel V for hyper-pigmentation & redness
Had my face zapped on 9/07. Hyper-pigmentation is my issue. Minimal pain with lidocaine numbing cream. So far some slight swelling. I have had several IPLs and one Fraxel. IPLs are ok, I just didn't notice any major impact. Areas were slightly lightened, but no OMG moments. Fraxel was a...
Truly Regret Seeing This Doctor
Short and long of it: Short: I saw Dr. Faludi to treat broken capillaries. The first test spot he did removed the melanin from my skin which previously had an even tone. When it didn’t get better and I questioned what was done, he falsely claimed that I threatened him with legal action, sent m...
Left me with burns
I've been treated with Vbeam and IPLs for rosacea at least 12 times without incident. After being told that the Excel V offered less down time than Vbeam, I took their advice. I was left with burn marks and hyperpigmentation. Choose your provider carefully. I'm about 85% healed but some spots co...
