Cosmetic Lasers

Targeted Treatments for Redness, Pigmentation and Skin Rejuvenation

Cosmetic lasers use specific wavelengths of light to target structures within the skin, allowing us to treat a variety of vascular, pigmentary, and skin-quality concerns without surgery.

Different wavelengths interact with different targets in the skin, which is why selecting the appropriate laser and treatment settings for the condition being treated is important.

At Kessel Dermatology, we use the Excel V+™ laser by Cutera, a versatile laser platform that allows treatment to be customized according to the specific concern, treatment area, and skin type.

What Can Cosmetic Lasers Treat?

Cosmetic laser treatments can address a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Uneven skin tone
• Rosacea and facial redness
• Hyperpigmentation and brown spots
• Sun damage
• Cherry angiomas
• Acne and acne scarring
• Spider veins and facial veins
• Fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin
• Unwanted facial or body hair and hair bumps

Each condition requires a different approach. Your skin will be evaluated to determine whether laser treatment is appropriate and which treatment settings are best suited to your concern.

How Do Cosmetic Lasers Work?

Lasers deliver concentrated light energy at specific wavelengths.

Different structures within the skin absorb different wavelengths of light. For example, laser energy can be selected to target hemoglobin within unwanted blood vessels or pigment within brown spots.

Once the target absorbs the laser energy, it is heated and damaged while surrounding tissue is largely preserved. The body then gradually clears or remodels the treated tissue.

The wavelength, energy, pulse duration, and spot size can be adjusted depending on what is being treated.

Why Does the Type of Laser Matter?

There is no single laser treatment that is appropriate for every skin concern.

Different wavelengths target different structures within the skin, and treatment settings must also take into account factors such as the depth and size of the target, skin type, and treatment area.

For this reason, an accurate diagnosis of the condition is important before cosmetic laser treatment. A brown spot, for example, should be properly evaluated before simply being treated as unwanted pigmentation.

Our Cosmetic Laser: Excel V+™ by Cutera

At Kessel Dermatology, we use the Excel V+™ laser by Cutera for our cosmetic laser treatments.

The Excel V+ offers multiple wavelengths, adjustable energy settings, and a variety of spot sizes, allowing treatment to be customized for a wide range of vascular and pigmented concerns.

It can be used for conditions ranging from small facial vessels and areas of redness to certain brown spots, leg veins, and other vascular concerns.

What Should I Expect During Cosmetic Laser Treatment?

Your treatment experience will depend on the condition being treated and the laser settings required.

Before treatment, your skin and area of concern will be evaluated. During treatment, protective eyewear is worn and laser energy is delivered to the targeted area.

Depending on the treatment, you may experience warmth, cooling, or a sensation similar to a light snap against the skin.

Treatment time and downtime vary according to the condition being treated, the size of the treatment area, and the laser parameters used.

Are Cosmetic Lasers Right for You?

The right laser treatment begins with identifying what is causing the skin concern—not simply choosing a laser.

Your skin type, medical history, treatment area, and aesthetic goals will be evaluated to determine whether laser treatment is appropriate and which settings should be used.

Schedule a consultation at Kessel Dermatology to determine whether cosmetic laser treatment with Excel V+ is right for you.
