See Your Skin. Not the Redness, Veins or Brown Spots.

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.

Personalized treatment plans • Nurse-led care • Health Canada licensed technology

.

Clear, even skin tone. Stop covering up brown spots or redness.

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 Unlike outdated IPL treatments that scatter energy and risk irritation, the Cutera Excel V laser pinpoints only what needs correction — whether that’s a brown spot, redness,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.

Results Long-Term, Not Temporary.

Cutera excel V+

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. 

Personalized Skin Analysis

We’ll assess and identify your brown spots, redness, or visible capillaries and determine whether the Cutera Excel V laser is right for you.

Targeted Laser Treatment

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).

Reveal & Protect

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.

Dual Wavelength Technology

The Excel V system utilizes two key wavelengths:

  • 532 nm (KTP): Targets superficial vascular lesions (e.g., facial telangiectasia, red spots, rosacea) and pigmented lesions (e.g., sun spots, melasma).
  • 1064 nm (Nd:YAG): Penetrates deeper, treating larger or deeper vessels (e.g., leg veins, blue/purple veins) and providing skin revitalization.
Indication 532 nm (KTP) 1064 nm (Nd:YAG) Fitzpatrick Skin Types Sessions Required Downtime
Facial telangiectasia I–III 1–3 Minimal
Rosacea I–III 1–3 Minimal
Spider veins (face/legs) I–IV 1–3 Minimal
Port-wine stains I–IV 1–4 Mild purpura
Melasma I–V 2–4 Minimal
Lentigines/sun spots I–IV 1–2 Minimal
Deeper leg veins I–IV 1–3 Minimal
Skin revitalization/scars I–V 2–4 Minimal

*Individual results and session numbers may vary based on skin type, lesion depth, and indication.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.
