DermaV™ Laser
DermaV™ is an advanced laser treatment that targets redness, pigmentation, and visible blood vessels while restoring a brighter, clearer, more even complexion.
What is it?
DermaV™ is an advanced medical laser designed to treat a wide range of vascular and pigmented skin concerns with exceptional precision. Using two powerful laser wavelengths, it can safely target visible blood vessels, persistent redness, rosacea, sun damage, age spots, freckles, and other unwanted pigmentation—all while improving overall skin tone and clarity.
The versatility of this device allows treatments to be customized to each patient's unique skin concerns while minimizing unnecessary treatment sessions. Whether you're looking to reduce chronic facial redness, treat visible blood vessels, improve sun damage, or achieve a brighter, more even complexion, DermaV™ offers a sophisticated, non-surgical solution.
At AvenueMD, every DermaV™ treatment is performed under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Salsberg and Dr. Dimitrios Motakis and tailored to your skin type, concerns, and long-term skin health goals.
How does it work?
DermaV™ uses two complementary laser wavelengths to precisely target different chromophores within the skin.
The 532 nm wavelength is highly effective for treating superficial redness, broken capillaries, facial flushing, and unwanted pigmentation near the skin's surface. The 1064 nm wavelength penetrates deeper to target larger blood vessels, deeper vascular lesions, and selected pigmented concerns while remaining safe across a broad range of skin types.
The system also incorporates advanced cooling technology that continuously protects the skin throughout treatment, improving comfort while minimizing downtime. Intelligent pulse delivery allows energy to be customized according to the size and depth of each vessel or pigment lesion, helping deliver highly precise treatment while protecting surrounding tissue.
Depending on your concerns, treatment may focus on correcting redness, eliminating pigmentation, or improving overall skin clarity and rejuvenation. Most sessions take between 20 and 45 minutes.
Recovery and downtime
Most patients experience little to no downtime following DermaV™ treatment. Mild redness or warmth is common immediately afterward and typically settles within a few hours. Swelling can sometimes occur with certain treatment areas, but settings can be customized to minimize downtime if needed.
Patients can usually return to normal activities immediately, although diligent sun protection is essential while the skin heals. Improvements may become visible after the first treatment, with continued clearing and collagen remodeling occurring over the following weeks. Depending on the condition being treated, a series of treatments is typically recommended to achieve the best possible outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What skin concerns can DermaV™ treat?
DermaV™ treats a wide range of concerns including rosacea, facial redness, flushing, broken capillaries, spider veins, age spots, freckles, sun damage, benign pigmented lesions, and uneven skin tone. It can also improve overall skin clarity and rejuvenation.
How is DermaV™ different from IPL?
While IPL uses broad-spectrum light, DermaV™ is a true medical laser that delivers highly precise wavelengths specifically designed to target vascular and pigmented lesions. This allows for greater precision, more customization, and effective treatment of a wider range of concerns.
Is DermaV™ painful?
Most patients tolerate treatment very well. The system's integrated cooling technology continuously protects the skin, making treatment significantly more comfortable than many traditional vascular lasers.
How many treatments will I need?
Many patients notice improvement after a single treatment, although most vascular and pigment concerns respond best to a series of three to five sessions, depending on the condition being treated and your individual goals.
Is DermaV™ suitable for all skin types?
Yes. DermaV™ offers adjustable treatment settings that allow it to safely treat a broad range of skin types while tailoring the treatment to each patient's individual needs.
Can DermaV™ be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. DermaV™ can be incorporated into a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan alongside treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, injectable treatments, or medical-grade skincare to further enhance skin tone, texture, and overall skin health.
