Thread veins are extremely common and sometimes embarrassing, mostly affecting the face, body and legs.
The cause of thread veins are unknown although they may be caused by changes in temperature, smoking, hormonal changes, alcohol and prolonged standing as well as being a possible inherited condition.
They can appear as single veins, widely dispersed or as a collection of broken veins close together. They can also appear as a collection of vessels arising from a single point; these are known as Spider Naevi.
At Laserse we offer treatment with the revolutionary Excel V+ laser. It has been proven to be highly effective in providing relief and reducing visible signs of redness.
What is the EXCEL V+ LASER?
The Cutera Excel V+ laser treatment is the most advanced aesthetic laser technology on the market, combining two powerfully precise lasers to target and eliminate unwanted face and leg veins. Treatments are comfortable and fast with most treatments performed in under 20 minutes, however, depending on the areas and concerns being treated, it may take up to 60 minutes.
The excel V+ laser is the fastest and easiest way to treat a broad range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep blue reticular veins (up to 3.5mm) quickly, safely and effectively. It delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessels which are later reabsorbed by the body. It can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body.
Laser treatment may feel similar to a quick rubber band snapping against the skin. During the laser treatment a cooled treatment tip will be in contact with the skin to protect and provide additional comfort to the areas being treated.
Results are typically seen after 1 to 3 sessions and prices are from £200 per treatment.

+ How Does Excel V+ Work?
The specifics of how the treatment works can vary based on the exact technology used in the Excel V+ system, but in general, laser treatments like this work by emitting intense beams of light that target specific chromophores (target molecules) in the skin, such as hemoglobin (for vascular conditions) or melanin (for pigmented lesions).
In the case of vascular conditions, the laser energy can heat and damage the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body, leading to a reduction in the appearance of redness or visible blood vessels.
+ Benefits of the Excel V+ Laser?
With minimal risk, the Excel V+ provides a powerful approach to reducing the visibility of facial redness, rosacea and restoring natural radiance. It is designed to treat a variety of vascular lesions such as leg veins, port wine stains, thread veins, and facial veins. A personalised treatment plan is formulated with your individual needs in mind to maximise results for long-lasting relief from diffuse redness.
Excel V+ utilises an advanced laser technology which allows it to target specific vessels without damaging surrounding skin. This patented technique enables more consistent results than traditional methods while also providing superior safety. Furthermore, the treatment can be tailored according to each patient's unique condition providing greater customisation for optimal results.
Overall, the Excel V+ offers a safe and reliable solution for reducing the visibility of rosacea symptoms like flushing, blushing, hand swelling or burning sensations that come with this condition – without any downtime or recovery period associated with it. With its minimal risks compared to other treatments available and proven success rate, this non-invasive therapy should definitely be considered when seeking relief from rosacea symptoms.
+ How long does the treatment take?
The duration of each session varies depending on the area of concern but can take from 15-60 minutes in some cases. Patients may need several sessions for best outcomes. Touch up treatments may be required occasionally due to new vessel formation or existing vessel recurrence over time.
+ Are there any side effects?
Although the Excel V+ is generally safe, there may be some side effects that you should be aware of before undergoing treatment. Common side effects include minor redness and slight swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. Other potential side effects can include discolouration such as brown spots or spider veins. Fortunately, these can usually be treated with other effective treatments if needed.
The Excel V+ has been proven to effectively reduce the appearance of age spots, acne scars, cherry angiomas, sun damage and visible veins without causing permanent damage or pigmentation changes in the surrounding area. The duration of results varies based on individual factors such as lifestyle habits and how quickly your body metabolises the product - generally lasting anywhere from 3-6 months depending on these factors.
