Choosing Between Excel V+ and IPL for Your Skin Concerns
Updated: Sep 18
Are you confused about which laser treatment will give you the best results for your skin concerns? You're not alone. At Epicell, we're often asked: "Should I choose Excel V+ or IPL for my pigmentation?" As Melbourne's leading advanced skincare clinic, we've treated thousands of patients with both technologies. Here's your complete guide to making the right choice.
What is Excel V+ Laser Treatment?
Excel V+ is the latest generation vascular laser that targets various skin issues, including:
Rosacea and facial redness
Spider veins and broken capillaries
Pigmentation and sun damage
Acne scarring

Why Excel V+ is Superior
Excel V+ stands out for several reasons:
Dual-wavelength technology (532nm + 1064nm)
Minimal downtime (most patients return to work the same day)
Suitable for all skin types
Precise targeting with less damage to surrounding tissue
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Explained
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to treat:
Sun spots and age spots
General pigmentation
Mild rosacea
Hair removal
Overall skin rejuvenation
