Excel V Plus in Homaesil — How the Two Wavelengths Act on Redness and Pigment

Excel V Plus is a laser that uses two wavelengths, 532nm and 1064nm, taking advantage of the property that light is absorbed by the red pigment in red blood cells within blood vessels and by brown pigment in the skin. The absorbed light turns into heat, and this heat can lead to changes such as closing fine blood vessels or lightening pigment.

If you are researching Excel V Plus in Homaesil, it is good to start knowing that this change appears over several weeks.

• 532nm is mainly used for pigment in shallow layers and fine blood vessels.
• 1064nm is used for somewhat deeper blood vessels, widespread redness, and skin texture management.
• Which wavelength and mode to use is determined after checking the cause of your concern through examination.

How does it act on red blood vessels?

Red blood cells within blood vessels contain a red pigment called hemoglobin. The light from Excel V Plus is absorbed by this pigment and turns into heat, and as that heat is transferred to the vessel wall, fine blood vessels can close.

Because the body absorbs closed blood vessels over several weeks, the change where redness lightens often appears gradually over time as well. The wavelength is selected to match the depth and thickness of the vessel — 532nm for vessels that are shallow and fine, and 1064nm for those that are somewhat deeper or thicker.

During the treatment, cooling is often used together so the skin surface receives less heat. This is because if heat lingers on the surface too long, blisters or pigment changes can occur.

What mode is used for brown pigment and skin texture?

The 532nm wavelength is also well absorbed by melanin, so it is used for brown pigment close to the surface, such as blemishes and sunspots (lentigines). The treated pigment may temporarily darken and then go through a process of flaking off like a thin crust or dead skin.

The mode that fires the 1064nm wavelength in very short, repeated pulses builds up gentle heat within the skin and is used for skin texture and pore management. Since this method does not damage the surface, it often ends with only mild redness after the treatment.

If a person's face has redness, blemishes, and skin texture concerns all together, several modes may be used in combination on the same day. Which wavelength and mode to use, and whether to proceed with treatment, is determined by the medical staff through examination and consultation.

What reactions can occur as heat is transferred to blood vessels and pigment?

Because of the mechanism by which heat is transferred to blood vessels, redness, warmth, and swelling can occur right after the treatment. Swelling may appear more noticeably in areas with soft tissue, such as under the eyes or on the cheeks, and usually subsides within a few days.

If heat is strongly transferred to the blood vessels, purple bruising can occur, and areas where brown pigment was treated may darken and then fall off as a crust. Rarely, blisters, hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation that appears lighter than the surrounding skin can occur.

Effects and reactions vary by individual. If pain worsens or a blister forms, please come in for a check-up right away.

What is the recovery schedule and care like after the treatment?

The treatment time is about 10 minutes, and most people can resume daily life right away. However, since the process of vessel absorption and pigment shedding continues over several weeks, the next session is usually scheduled a few weeks later, based on the skin condition.

• On the day of the treatment and the following day, avoid saunas, hot compresses, alcohol, and intense exercise.
• If there is swelling, applying a clean cold compress briefly and elevating your head a little while sleeping can help.
• Do not pick at areas where a crust has formed, and apply sunscreen thoroughly.

If bruising occurs, do not rub or massage the area firmly while it fades. It usually lightens over one to two weeks, but if it lasts longer, check with us at your appointment.

How should I describe my concerns during a consultation in Homaesil?

When having an Excel V Plus consultation in Homaesil, try describing your concerns as separated below. It helps in determining the wavelength and mode.

• Please tell us whether the redness is always present or only flares up in specific situations.
• Check in a mirror where the thread-like blood vessels are visible and let us know.
• Please let us know the order of priority among brown blemishes, redness, and skin texture — whichever concerns you most.
• If you have previously had bruising or hyperpigmentation after a laser treatment, please mention that as well.

FAQ

Q. What do 532nm and 1064nm mean?

A. These are numbers that express the wavelength of laser light in nanometers. Depending on the wavelength, the depth it reaches within the skin and the target it is well absorbed by differ, so their uses are divided accordingly.

Q. If the blood vessels look less visible right after the treatment, does that mean they are all resolved?

A. Fine blood vessels can appear less visible right after the treatment, but the body's process of absorbing the vessels continues over several weeks. The change is checked at the next examination after some time has passed.

Q. Can I receive this treatment even if I have rosacea?

A. Rosacea often involves both redness and dilated blood vessels, so laser treatment may be planned, but if the inflammation is severe, medication is used first. The order is determined after checking the condition through examination.

Q. Can I receive only the skin-texture mode separately?

A. If skin texture and pores are your main concern, treatment can focus mainly on that mode. The combination is determined during the consultation based on the priority of your concerns and your skin condition.

Summary

Excel V Plus delivers heat to the red pigment in blood vessels and brown pigment in the skin using two wavelengths, 532nm and 1064nm, and the change often appears over several weeks. If you are considering Excel V Plus in Homaesil, organize whether redness, blemishes, or skin texture is your concern before your consultation. Responses and changes vary by individual.
