What is Cutera Excel V?
Cutera is a cutting-edge technology laser that promotes vibrant and healthy-looking skin in both men and women. This small handheld device is waved over the affected area. By emitting waves of energy, this laser beam reduces the appearance of vessels, veins, cherry hemangiomas, broken capillaries, bruises, and problems with pigmentation. The additional handpiece for Lasergenesis can also treat wrinkles and skin irregularities such as acne and pores by strategic heat delivery with designed pulsation. The pulsation happens in the appropriate layer and it stimulates collagen, dismantles bacteria, and discharges related to acne.
You may obtain young, glowing skin by addressing diseases usually connected with early symptoms of aging and sun damage such as blood vessels, rosacea, facial veins, red stretch marks, red acne scars, angiomas (vascular moles), and warts.
