Cutera Excel V KTP™ 532nm Laser works when the yellow/green laser light is absorbed by blood vessels which become heated and precisely destroyed (selective photothermolysis). Because of this, damage to the skin is minimal and therefore scarring is very uncommon. The 532 nm wavelength is ideal for superficial vascular targets including small telangiectasias, cherry angiomas, diffuse redness and port wine stains.

Cutera Excel V KTP™ 532nm Laser works when the yellow/green laser light is absorbed by blood vessels which become heated and precisely destroyed (selective photothermolysis). Because of this, damage to the skin is minimal and therefore scarring is very uncommon. The 532 nm wavelength is ideal for superficial vascular targets including small telangiectasias, cherry angiomas, diffuse redness and port wine stains.
The Cutera Excel V™laser includes variable contact cooling through a sapphire window that allows the physician to adjust the contact temperature from 5 degrees C to 20 degrees C.
The contact cooling allows for aggressive bulk cooling when treating larger vessels, or reduced cooling when treating superficial targets or pigmentation.
The CoolView™ design of the Excel V laser™ handpiece combines continuous parallel cooling for protection with excellent visibility of the vessel during treatment.
The Excel V KTP™ laser can also treat other skin abnormalities eg: some birthmarks and pigmented lesions.
