How Does Excel V+ Laser Work?
Our Excel V+ laser treatment is a solid-state laser technology incorporating two precision laser wavelengths in one device. This one-of-a-kind treatment is non-ablative, meaning there will only be mild skin disruption, and offers little to no downtime.
Four compatible handpieces provide more versatility from the Excel V+. For example, it can deliver a micro-pulsed 532 nm wavelength with our Genesis V™ handpiece, customizing spot size and wavelength. Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser technology that offers multiple purposes like restoring skin tone, treating wrinkles and fine lines, acne and superficial scarring, large pores, and active acne.
This heat-based laser stimulates the body’s natural healing processes to boost collagen growth, resulting in a more youthful skin tone and texture. The fully integrated CoolView™ or the thin Dermastat handpiece accurately treats small pigmented and vascular lesions.
By increasing the Excel V power by 50%, its laser delivers unmatched precision and effectiveness for treating pigmentation, vascular problems, and non-pigmented lesions. In addition, continuous Contact Cooling throughout the treatments provides maximum comfort.
Laser Hair Removal
The excel V+™ laser can also deliver a 1064 nm wavelength to target hair in unwanted places by impacting melanin within the hair shaft to destroy hair follicles. This results in permanent hair reduction and effectively treats patients of all skin tones safely thanks to the multiple wavelengths possible with this innovative system.

The Excel V+ Process
This non-invasive treatment requires no anesthesia and is an in-office procedure. Before we begin Excel V+ therapy, we’ll test a small skin area to determine its response to the laser. Depending on which handheld device we use, you may feel a slight snap or a warm sensation as your provider moves the tool across your skin.
Your Excel V+ skin rejuvenating treatments are up to five times faster than those of other lasers, like the VBeam laser. We can treat a single area in three to five minutes. The procedure is quick and convenient, so you can schedule it during your lunch break.
Depending on your cosmetic concerns, you may need a series of treatment sessions to deliver your desired results. After your consultation, we can book your follow-up treatments to ensure proper spacing and optimal results. While you may notice skin clarity and enhanced tone following your first treatment, the benefits continue to improve for the next two to four months as your skin regenerates new collagen and elastin production.
Excel V+ Treatment Aftercare
There is little to no recovery, but some slight, temporary effects may occur after the treatments. Here are some other post-Excel V+ Laser aftercare instructions you should understand:
- Expect some redness, swelling, and bruising.
- You may experience a bug-bitten appearance which should resolve in a day or two.
- Avoid heat, steam baths, and hot tubs for a couple of days.
- Do not use skin care products that contain glycolic/salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinol, or tretinoin.
- Compression stockings are optional.
We will review all benefits and risks during your consultation to fully understand what to expect from the procedure.

New Orleans Excel V+ FAQs
Directing the Excel V+ laser energy at wrinkles and fine lines stimulates neocollagenesis, the healing process when your skin begins rebuilding collagen and elastin proteins. The laser energy may also break up the disturbed collagen in acne scarring and stimulate neocollagenesis to rebuild smoother, tighter, and even-textured skin.
Although many patients report few or no effects, it’s not uncommon to notice a slight reddening or mild inflammation. Bruising is possible, and blistering may occur, but rarely. Any side effects resolve within one week.
Yes! Our Excel V+ laser system can treat skin types ranging from light to dark as identified in the Fitzpatrick skin type classification, due to its customizable wavelength settings.
The cost will depend on the skin condition, the level of treatment provided, and the number of treatment sessions. A comprehensive cost analysis will be provided during your consultation.

Testimonials
I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with the results of the procedures from Drs. Velargo and Hendrick!! They are very caring and professional in the care of their patients and the office staff rocks!! They listened to the concerns that brought me to their office for correction, then suggested options with sincerity. I felt very comfortable with both of them and will most definitely be a patient of theirs for life!!My experience here was truly wonderful. Dr. Gary took her time and really talked to me about what my expectations were and how we could achieve it. She’s very kind and makes you feel like you can talk to her about all your concerns, no matter how minor. And the results were incredible and natural, which was a huge priority for me. The rest of the staff were fantastic as well, and they really make you feel welcome. The facility is beautiful and relaxing with a spa feel. I will definitely be back to see Dr. Gary and the rest of the lovely folks here!
I was really nervous about getting a breast augmentation because I really wanted it to look natural and proportionate to my body. On my first visit/consultation Dr. Hendricks and his staff made me feel really comfortable! He truly listened to me and made me feel at ease throughout every step of the process. Very kind and personable doctor! I would 100% recommend them to anyone thinking about a procedure, especially if you’re looking for a natural look and a doctor who won’t pressure you otherwise! Bonus, the office is very beautiful (feels like a spa) with an incredible view of the city. Definitely check them out!
