Advanced laser therapy to reduce bruising and treat vascular irregularities
At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa in Tampa, we offer Excel V™ laser therapy, a powerful, non-invasive treatment designed to address post-procedure bruising and a variety of vascular concerns. Excel V is safe for all skin types and tones and uses cutting-edge dual-wavelength laser technology to treat visible veins, redness, and stubborn discoloration — often with results seen in minutes.
Excel V combines a high-power green laser (532 nm) with integrated cooling to gently target:
The 532 nm wavelength is especially effective in breaking down pigment in bruises and calming redness in the skin.
Some patients may experience bruising that lasts longer or appears darker than typical after surgery or injectables. Excel V is ideal for these cases, helping:
Excel V uses a built-in cooling mechanism to minimize discomfort and protect your skin. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick sting that resolves immediately after each laser pulse.
Some mild redness or swelling may occur but typically fades within hours.
Most patients see visible improvement within minutes — bruises often lighten several shades during the first treatment. Larger or more severe bruises may require multiple sessions.
