Today’s aesthetic patient wants visible results without downtime. The xeo® and excel® V+ lasers from Cutera (Brisbane, Calif.) equip providers with a comprehensive suite of skin revitalization solutions to meet this demand and accommodate even the most discerning patients.
With a customizable laser and light-based system to treat a wide range of skin concerns, xeo is a versatile multi-technology platform ideal for those beginning their aesthetic journey as well as experienced practitioners who desire to cover the spectrum of pigmentary, skin aging and vascular treatments.
Tahl Humes, DO, founder and medical director of VITAHL Medical Aesthetics in Denver, Colo. shared that xeo is a popular device in her practice. “I have so much versatility with my xeo laser. My patients experience everything from a reduction in their unwanted sunspots, redness and wrinkles, to overall better looking skin,” she explained. “What I love hearing from my patients is that they not only look younger, but they also feel younger because they look so great following treatments.”
Dr. Humes reported that one of the most sought-after treatments with xeo is Laser GenesisTM, Cutera’s signature laser facial treatment that utilizes micro-pulses of energy to activate collagen remodeling. “The 1064 nm laser bulk heats the dermis to stimulate collagen. It also targets the microvasculature,” she explained. With the xeo, Dr. Humes has the ability to treat pore size, texture, fine lines, wrinkles and redness.1 She also incorporates xeo treatments to help maintain the results from other therapies, and for overall skin health.
With two clinically proven wavelengths – 1064 nm and 532 nm – and a high safety profile, Cutera’s excel V+ covers a range of pigmentary and vascular treatments to 
improve skin quality and textural concerns that result in effective treatments and high patient satisfaction. Manu Aggarwal, MD, at Vein Care Center Laser Specialists (Lima, Ohio) reported this device treats more than 30 different conditions with power and reliability that remain unmatched in the industry. “The technology is unsurpassed; I see consistent results,” she noted. “The customizable settings fit almost any patient concern and effective cooling protects their skin.”
Dr. Aggarwal reported her patients notice a significant decrease in skin redness and irritation from rosacea; others see a reduction in acne, and mature patients enjoy smoother fine lines, wrinkles and smaller pores.1 “It is really nice because patients are able to get their excel V+ treatments as a foundation and whatever they do on top is just for fun. They look and feel younger, and it shows in their smile when they come in and see their before and after pictures. It is satisfying for me and for them.”
Premium technology and results are the common theme with Cutera’s entire suite of treatments, Dr. Humes noted. “The reliable and consistent outcomes keep our patients coming back for more. The treatments enhance the medical side of our practice and allow us to be more comprehensive in the care we provide.”
