Redness, broken capillaries, spider veins and brown spots can become harder to ignore over time. At the Westrick Clinic, we use the same advanced technology trusted by dermatologists to target unwanted redness, visible veins, visible veins and pigmentation not just on your face but neck, chest, arms and legs.
One technology. Multiple concerns. Clearer, more even-looking skin from face to body.

.
It often starts small.
A broken capillary around the nose. Redness across the cheeks that seems to stick around longer. A few brown spots across the face, chest or hands. Spider veins on the legs that suddenly make shorts feel less appealing.
And over time, those little things can add up to skin that looks more uneven, more sun-damaged or simply older than it used to. Unlike outdated IPL treatments that scatter energy and risk irritation, the Cutera Excel V laser pinpoints only what needs correction — whether that’s a brown spot, redness, or a visible capillary.

Two clinically proven wavelengths treat large sizes up to 16 mm and four compatible hand pieces. One treatment- multiple concerns. Something IPL simply can’t do.
We’ll assess and identify your brown spots, redness, or visible capillaries and determine whether the Cutera Excel V laser is right for you.
Using the Excel V’s dual wavelengths, we customize energy delivery to your unique skin profile: one for pigment (brown spots, sun damage, age spots), and one for vascular concerns (broken capillaries, redness, rosacea, or visible facial veins).
Within days, brown spots darken slightly, then fade; redness and capillaries diminish. You’ll receive a tailored after-care and prevention plan to keep your results long-lasting; including sun protection, collagen support, and home skincare guidance.
The Excel V system utilizes two key wavelengths:

Sue West RN has been nursing for over 25+ years. Rest assured you are in good hands to discuss your concerns.
Depending on your concerns and whether we feel the diagnosed skin concern warrants further assessment, we can treat your skin concerns quickly and so you have long-term benefits.
One of the biggest benefits from the excel V+ treats all skin types.
The excel V+ targets its micro-pulsed energy to the treated lesions, veins, and wrinkles only, so that your surrounding, healthy skin is untouched. The excel V+ also features advanced CoolView technology that uses the power of sapphires to keep your skin at a comfortable temperature throughout your treatment, without the need for numbing creams or gels or any type of anesthetic.
The excel V+ is the first laser to feature a micro-pulsed energy delivery system that’s so precise and powerful that it can break apart the pigment in the deepest lesions without affecting your surrounding, healthy skin.
The excel V+ utilizes CoolView™ sapphire technology to keep your skin comfortable and cool without the need for numbing gel, even as it zaps and eliminates:
In short, you can use the excel V+ to treat sunspots, veins, wrinkles, scars, unwanted hair, and more on both your face and body.
The excel V+ lets your clinician choose from two clinically proven wavelengths: micro-pulsed 532 nm and 1064 nm. Both can treat both superficial and deep lesions, veins, and wrinkles. Your clinician adjusts the wavelength depending on the type of lesion they’re treating. Cutera’s unique truPulse technology guarantees consistent, reliable outcomes.
Yes. Hyperpigmentation is a condition in which patches of skin become darker in color than the normal surrounding skin. When you want to eliminate visible red veins, hyperpigmented lesions, or diffuse redness, your clinician targets the chromophores melanin and oxyhemoglobin. These two pigments are responsible for the red and brown color of unsightly lesions and veins. The laser energy breaks up the pigment so that your body can process it and eliminate it over time.
You may notice that your skin looks clearer after just one treatment. Some lesions may dry up and flake off over the next several weeks. As your skin rebuilds itself over the next weeks to months, you’ll notice that your complexion is clear, even, smooth, and free from disfiguring veins and spots.
With the Cutera Excel V+, your skin treatments are up to five times faster than traditional lasers. That means you can book a session on your lunch break or between meetings — no downtime, no stress, no disruption to your day.
Depending on your skin goals, a series of treatments may deliver the best results. Our team will schedule your follow-up sessions in advance and send friendly reminders so you stay on track effortlessly.
You’ll likely notice a visible improvement in tone and clarity after just one treatment. But the real transformation continues over the next 2–4 months, as your skin naturally produces fresh collagen and elastin, revealing a smoother, more youthful glow that keeps improving long after your appointment.
Mild redness or swelling is possible but typically fades within a few hours.
Following treatment, treated brown spots will darken and peel off in 3 to 5 days.
Treatments tend to take 10-30 minutes depending on the areas treated.
In general, you will see changes in 1-2 treatments, we recommend 3-6 treatment sessions to achieve the desired outcome. However, depending on the severity of your condition, your treatment sessions may vary.
For removal of dark spots, the laser heats up the pigment inside the spot, after which, the spot turns darker and then gently sloughs off.
For blood vessels, the laser delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate and the wall of the vessels to collapse, destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin’s surface, right where it should be.
