Cutera Excel V+ MANUFACTURER NOTES

The Cutera Excel V+ is a high-power, dual-wavelength (532 nm) and (1064 nm) laser system designed to treat vascular, pigmented, and skin rejuvenation concerns. It features 50% more power than its predecessor, delivering up to 300 J/cm2 (1064 nm) with large 16 mm spot sizes for faster, more precise treatments on skin types I-IV.

The Cutera excel V+ stands out as an industry-leading vascular and pigmentation platform due to its unique combination of high power, dual-wavelength flexibility, and specialized treatment handpieces.

The primary advancements that make the system highly regarded by dermatologists include:

1. 50% More Power and True Solid-State Build

• Increased Fluence: Features 50% more power than the original excel V, enabling higher energy delivery 300 J/cm2
• LBO Solid-State Tech: It is the market-leading aesthetic workstation utilizing an LBO-produced solid-state 532 nm laser.
• Consistent Pulses: TruPulse™ technology eliminates energy drops, ensuring every single pulse is uniform.

2. Simultaneous Deep and Superficial Targeting

• Dual Wavelengths: Houses both 532 nm (for superficial red/brown pigment) and 1064 nm for deep blue veins and structural remodeling) in one single console.
• No Purpura (Bruising): Unlike older Pulsed Dye Lasers (PDL), its precise energy targeting destroys damaged blood vessels without fracturing them, preventing the severe post-treatment purple bruising typical of other vascular systems.
• Consumable-Free: Does not require costly gas or dye replacements, lowering operating costs for clinics.

3. Expanded Treatment Modes & Spot Sizes

• Green Genesis™: The platform introduces a micro-pulsed 532 nm mode specifically designed to treat superficial facial redness and rosacea rapidly.
• Dermastat Handpiece: A pencil-like tool allowing for instant, fine-tuned precision on intricate target areas like around the nostrils or eyes.
• 16 mm Spot Size: Larger spot size options cut treatment times significantly for broad areas like the legs or chest.

4. Advanced Patient Safety & Comfort

• Sapphire Contact Cooling: The handpiece integrates adjustable, continuous contact cooling 5–20 C to completely protect the epidermis.
• Skin Type Inclusivity: The dual-wavelength and precise cooling configurations make it effective and safe across Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI.

Handpeices

The Cutera Excel V+accommodates four compatible handpieces, which are split into three core design categories:

• CoolView™ Handpiece: The fully integrated workhorse handpiece that delivers both the 532 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths. It handles variable zoom spot sizes from 2 mm to 16 mm and contains the integrated, continuous sapphire contact cooling mechanism.
• Genesis V™ Handpiece: Designed specifically for Cutera’s signature non-ablative skin revitalization treatments. It delivers microsecond pulses of both 1064 nm(standard Laser Genesis™) and the micro-pulsed 532 nm (Green Genesis™) at a fixed 8 mm spot size to rapidly clear redness and rebuild collagen.
• Dermastat™ Handpieces 1 mm & 2 mm: A pair of pencil-like tracing tools optimized for ultra-precise spot treatments without needing cooling. They emit the 532 nm wavelength to target individual small capillaries, facial telangiectasias, and isolated sun spots.

Key Clinical Applications

• Vascular: Rosacea, telangiectasias, port wine stains, angiomas, leg veins.
• Pigmented: Age spots, sun damage, melasma.
• Revitalization: Skin rejuvenation, wrinkles, scars, inflammatory acne.
• Other: Benign pigmented lesions, poikiloderma
