Excel V Plus in Suwon — How Long Does Lightened Redness Last?

The blood vessels treated with Excel V Plus can be reduced, but the constitution prone to redness and the lifestyle environment remain, so new blood vessels or redness can reappear over time. This is why the duration that lightened redness lasts varies from person to person.

For those in Suwon who have received Excel V Plus, the plan often involves receiving several sessions and then widening the interval to monitor the condition.

• If the treated blood vessels dilate again or new vessels form, redness can reappear.
• Alcohol, heat, UV exposure, and temperature changes affect how quickly the redness returns.
• Maintenance treatment is scheduled based on when redness reappears, rather than at a fixed cycle.

How long does redness lightened by the treatment last?

Fine blood vessels closed by laser heat are absorbed by the body over time. These resolved vessels may not reappear, but if other nearby vessels dilate or new ones form, redness will reappear.

Some people see redness return within a few months, while others experience the effect lasting quite a long time. Because the constitution prone to redness, skin thickness, and lifestyle environment differ for each person, it is difficult to state the maintenance period as a fixed number of months.

The same applies to cases treated for brown pigment. Even if the treated pigment lightens, new pigment can form with UV exposure, so the maintenance period is heavily influenced by lifestyle habits.

What habits affect the return of redness?

The more often the face flushes, the more likely the dilated state of the vessels is to persist. So if a lifestyle with frequent facial heat continues, redness that was lightened by the treatment can darken again.

Stimuli change with the seasons, such as cold wind and heating in winter, and heat and UV exposure in summer. Cooling the face after sweating heavily during exercise and washing with lukewarm water can be helpful habits.

Harsh exfoliation or frequent peeling can also weaken the skin barrier and increase redness. Consistently using gentle cleansers and moisturizers is the basic approach.

After a few sessions, at what interval is maintenance treatment done?

At first, there is a period of receiving several sessions a few weeks apart to reduce the redness. The number of sessions and the interval are determined by the medical staff based on the thickness and extent of the vessels and the post-treatment response.

After that, rather than receiving treatment on a fixed schedule, it is often the case that an examination is done when the redness becomes noticeable again, and treatment continues as needed. Some people schedule a check-up to match the season when their redness deepens.

Even during periods between treatments, sun protection, moisturizing, and reducing heat stimulation should continue. This care can also affect how long the interval is until the next check-up.

What reactions and side effects can occur while continuing redness management?

Even when receiving treatment again, redness, warmth, and swelling can occur right after the session and usually subside within a few days. Areas where vessels are thick or densely concentrated may develop purple bruising, which usually fades over one to two weeks.

If the same area is repeatedly treated at short intervals, the skin may not have enough time to recover, increasing the likelihood of hyperpigmentation or blistering. Rarely, hypopigmentation that appears lighter than the surrounding skin can occur, so the recovery state is checked before deciding on the next treatment.

Effects and reactions vary by individual. Letting us know how long bruising or swelling lasted in the previous session helps as a reference for determining the settings.

How do you judge when it's time for a follow-up consultation in Suwon?

After receiving Excel V Plus in Suwon, consider a follow-up consultation if you notice the signs below. Even if only one applies, it is worth getting checked through an examination.

• Thread-like blood vessels are visible again near the nose or on the cheeks.
• The face flushes easily even with smaller triggers than before.
• There are more days when the redness does not subside all day.
• The red area that used to be covered with makeup seems to have widened again.

Whether to receive treatment again and how is decided by examining your current condition and consulting with the medical staff. Please also let us know the date of your last treatment and the reactions you had at that time.

FAQ

Q. Do I need to get the treatment again every time the season changes?

A. It is not necessary to receive treatment every season; it is often decided through an examination when the redness deepens again. If your redness tends to worsen during a particular season, a check-up can be scheduled to match that time.

Q. If I come back for treatment years later, will I need multiple sessions like the first time?

A. It depends on the amount and extent of blood vessels that have dilated in the meantime. If the redness has only reappeared in a narrow area, treatment may continue with fewer sessions.

Q. Can I keep using green-tinted cosmetics to cover the redness?

A. If the product has low irritation, it's fine to use it in daily life to cover the redness. Right after the treatment, the skin is sensitive, so makeup should start only after the redness and warmth have subsided.

Q. Is there a way to prevent redness from coming back?

A. It is difficult to prevent it from coming back entirely, but reducing triggers like heat, UV exposure, and alcohol can help slow it down. If there is an accompanying skin condition, continuing its treatment is also important.

Summary

How long the redness lightened by Excel V Plus lasts varies from person to person depending on constitution and lifestyle habits, and maintenance treatment is often scheduled based on when the redness reappears. If redness becomes a concern again after receiving Excel V Plus in Suwon, have an examination to check your current condition.
