The Cutera Excel HR laser uses the 1064 nm wavelength to target visible veins, such as spider veins, broken capillaries, and other vascular lesions, effectively and safely. Here’s how it works:
​
-
Targeted Energy Delivery: The 1064 nm laser light is directed at the vein, where the blood absorbs the light energy. This wavelength is highly effective for treating red and blue veins, including deeper and more stubborn veins that are difficult to address with other treatments.
-
Heat Absorption and Coagulation: As the blood absorbs the laser energy, it heats up, causing the vein walls to collapse. This process, known as coagulation, seals the vein, preventing blood flow through it.
-
Body’s Natural Elimination: Once treated, the body gradually absorbs and eliminates the collapsed vein over time. This results in a reduction or complete elimination of the visible vein, leaving the skin clearer and more even-toned.
-
Minimal Discomfort & Downtime: The Cutera Excel HR treatment is gentle and typically requires minimal downtime. Most clients experience mild warmth or tingling during the procedure and can return to normal activities shortly after.

The Cutera Excel HR laser effectively treats pigmentation issues, such as sun spots, age spots, seborrheic keratosis, and freckles, using advanced laser technology with 755 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths. Here’s how it targets and clears pigmentation:
​
-
Targeted Light Energy: The laser emits specific wavelengths that are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the skin. The 755 nm wavelength is especially effective for targeting superficial pigmentation, while the 1064 nm wavelength penetrates deeper layers, allowing it to address various types of pigment issues.
-
Heat Absorption and Pigment Fragmentation: As the melanin absorbs the laser energy, it heats up, causing the pigment to break down into smaller particles. This process, called photothermolysis, specifically targets the pigmentation without affecting surrounding skin tissue.
-
Natural Elimination: Over the following days and weeks, the body’s lymphatic system naturally eliminates the fragmented pigment particles. This gradual clearing process reveals a more even, radiant skin tone as the pigmentation fades.
-
Additional Skin Benefits: The laser’s heat also stimulates collagen production in the treated area, further improving skin texture and promoting overall rejuvenation.
