Derma V Laser Therapy

Reveal clearer, more radiant skin with DermaV, an advanced, dual-wavelength laser system that effectively treats a wide range of concerns, including vascular and pigmented skin concerns. DermaV targets everything from redness and rosacea to sunspots and uneven skin tone. With built-in cooling and precise delivery, treatments are safe, comfortable, and require minimal downtime. Whether you're battling facial veins, stubborn discoloration, or dull skin, DermaV offers visible results and revitalized skin with each session.

FAQ’s

  • What does the DermaV laser treat?
    DermaV is designed to treat a wide range of concerns, including facial veins, broken capillaries, rosacea, redness, sunspots, age spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone. It also improves overall skin clarity and texture.
  • Is the treatment painful?
    Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap or warm flick on the skin. DermaV includes integrated cooling technology to enhance comfort throughout the session.
  • How long is the downtime?
    Downtime is minimal. You may experience temporary redness or mild swelling, which typically resolves within 24–48 hours. Pigmented spots may darken before flaking off naturally over the following days.
  • How many sessions will I need?
    The number of treatments depends on your skin concern. While some see improvement after one session, a series of 2–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results.
  • Are there any pre-treatment guidelines?
    Yes. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for 2 weeks prior. Discontinue retinol, exfoliants, or photosensitizing products 3–5 days before treatment. A consultation will ensure you’re properly prepared.
  • Who is a good candidate for DermaV?
    DermaV is safe and effective for most skin types. It is especially beneficial for individuals with vascular lesions, redness, or pigmentation issues who are seeking clearer, more even-toned skin.
  • What makes DermaV different from other lasers?
    DermaV features dual wavelengths and real-time temperature feedback, allowing for precise targeting with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. The cooling system ensures client comfort, and the device is optimized for fast, effective treatments with visible results.

Benefits include:

  • Reduces facial veins, redness, and rosacea
  • Fades brown spots, sun damage, and melasma
  • Improves overall skin clarity and tone
  • Safe and comfortable with built-in cooling
  • Minimal downtime and long-lasting results
  • Suitable for various skin types

Laser Hair Removal

Say goodbye to unwanted hair with our advanced laser hair removal treatments using the DermaV laser. This powerful technology safely and effectively reduces hair growth on the face and body by delivering gentle pulses of light directly to the hair follicle, helping prevent future regrowth. Designed for long-lasting results, DermaV is safe for all skin types and features a built-in cooling system for a more comfortable treatment experience.

FAQ’s

  • How does laser hair removal work?
    The laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This energy damages the hair follicle, slowing or stopping future growth without harming the surrounding skin.
  • What color hair does laser hair removal work on?
    Laser hair removal works best on dark, coarse hair. Blonde, red, gray, or very light hair lacks enough pigment to effectively absorb the laser energy, so results may be limited for those shades.
  • Is it painful?
    Thanks to DermaV’s integrated cooling system, treatments are more comfortable than traditional lasers. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap or rubber band flick. 
  • How many sessions will I need?
    Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments are needed for best results. Most clients need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for significant hair reduction.
  • Can I shave before my appointment?
    Yes! We ask that you shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading before and during your treatment series.
  • Is there downtime?
    There’s little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, but this typically subsides within a few hours.
  • Are there any pre- or post-care instructions?
    Yes. Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least 2 weeks before and after each session, as sun exposure can increase the risk of irritation or hyperpigmentation. Always wear SPF 30+ on treated areas when exposed to sunlight.
  • Who is a good candidate for laser hair removal?
    Laser hair removal is most effective for individuals with light to medium skin and dark hair. However, with DermaV’s advanced technology, we can safely treat all skin tones with customized settings.

Benefits include:

  • Long-lasting hair reduction
  • Smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs
  • Fast, precise, and comfortable treatments
  • Works on most areas of the body and face
  • No more shaving or waxing
  • Safe for all skin tones with minimal downtime
