How Derma V Targets Redness + Visible Vessels

Derma V combines two vascular laser wavelengths within one platform, allowing treatment to be selected according to the characteristics of the redness or vessel we are trying to address.

Explore the Two Wavelengths

532

Superficial Vascular Targets

532 nm KTP

The 532 nm wavelength is particularly useful when treating selected superficial red vascular targets, including visible facial vessels, telangiectasia and rosacea-associated vascular redness.

How Treatment Works

From Visible Vessel to Progressive Clearance

01

Identify the Target

Visible Redness + Vascular Structures

We first assess the pattern of redness and whether distinct vascular structures are visible. Vessel size, depth, colour, location and surrounding skin all influence whether vascular laser treatment is appropriate.

Common Treatment Concerns

What Can Derma V Be Used For?

Facial Redness

Persistent vascular redness and visible facial flushing patterns may be assessed for laser treatment.

Rosacea-Associated Redness

Derma V may be used to address the visible vascular component of rosacea, including persistent redness and visible vessels.

Broken Capillaries

Small visible vessels around the nose, cheeks and other facial areas are common vascular laser targets.

Telangiectasia

Dilated superficial vessels can be assessed according to their size, depth, location and individual skin characteristics.

Redness can have many causes, and laser treatment does not eliminate the underlying tendency toward rosacea or prevent new vascular changes from developing. Treatment recommendations are individualized following assessment.

Derma V Dual-Wavelength Vascular Laser

Two wavelengths. One individualized vascular treatment. Derma V combines:

532 nm KTP

A green wavelength with strong interaction with superficial vascular targets, making it particularly relevant for concerns such as facial redness, telangiectasia and selected visible vessels.

1064 nm Nd:YAG

A longer wavelength that penetrates more deeply and can be selected for certain deeper or larger vascular targets.

Derma V is Health Canada licensed for specified benign vascular and cutaneous lesion indications. The appropriate wavelength and treatment approach depend on the vascular target, location and individual skin characteristics.

Published clinical research has also evaluated Derma V’s 532 nm KTP wavelength for rosacea-associated facial erythema and visible vessels.

Best For

  • Rosacea
  • Persistance facial redness
  • Broken capillaries
  • Vascular birthmarks
  • Telangiectasia
  • Visible facial vessels
  • Spider veins
  • Selected vascular lesions

Downtime: Temporary redness and mild swelling may occur. Recovery depends heavily on the vascular target and treatment intensity; some individual vessels may also temporarily darken or appear more noticeable as they respond.

Vascular + Pigment Concerns

What Can Derma V Treat?

Derma V gives us access to both 532 nm KTP and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths, allowing treatment to be selected according to the vascular or pigment target rather than treating every form of redness or discolouration the same way.

01

Vascular Redness

Facial Redness

When redness is driven in part by visible superficial vascular structures, Derma V allows those vessels to be selectively targeted rather than simply trying to camouflage redness at the surface.

Not every red or brown mark has the same cause. Treatment recommendations are based on clinical assessment of the vascular or pigment target, skin characteristics and the overall treatment plan.

Treatment Comparison

How Does Derma V Compare?

Choosing the right treatment for redness and visible vessels

Not every red or brown mark responds to the same technology. The right treatment depends on what is actually creating the colour within the skin—not simply whether that colour looks red or brown.

How Derma V Works

How Derma V Works Within the Skin

Vascular laser treatment begins with identifying the vessel we are trying to treat. Derma V allows the wavelength and treatment approach to be selected according to characteristics such as vessel depth, size and colour. Explore each stage below.

01

Visible Vessel

Redness + Vascular Structures

Visible superficial vessels and patterns of vascular redness are first assessed to determine whether an appropriate laser target is present. The appearance, size, location and depth of the vascular structure help guide the treatment approach.

Treatment response varies according to the vascular target, area treated and individual skin characteristics. Not every form of facial redness represents a vessel that should be treated with laser.

Why Clients Choose Derma V at
Arnprior Med Spa

Their Skin Looks Calmer + More Even

Persistent redness and visible vessels can make otherwise healthy skin look irritated or uneven.

Derma V allows us to directly address vascular structures contributing to redness, helping reduce the appearance of visible vessels and creating a more even-looking complexion.

We Treat the Vessel, Not Just the Colour

Redness can have multiple causes.

During assessment, we look at where the redness is located, whether distinct vessels are visible, the depth and calibre of those vessels, flushing patterns and the overall condition of the surrounding skin.

That assessment helps determine whether vascular laser treatment is appropriate—and which wavelength makes sense.

Two Wavelengths Give Us More Treatment Flexibility

Derma V combines 532 nm KTP and 1064 nm Nd:YAG within one platform.

That matters because superficial facial vessels and deeper vascular structures do not behave identically. Having access to two wavelengths allows treatment to be selected according to the characteristics of the vascular target rather than forcing every vessel into one protocol.

It Becomes Part of a Longer-Term Redness Strategy

Laser can reduce visible vascular structures, but it does not eliminate the underlying tendency toward rosacea or guarantee that new vessels will never form.

For clients with chronic redness, Derma V may therefore become one part of a broader plan that includes appropriate skincare, trigger management, maintenance treatment and other technologies when different concerns coexist.

Frequently asked questions

Derma V is a dual-wavelength vascular and pigment laser from Lutronic that combines 532 nm KTP and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths with cryogen cooling, Variable Sequential Pulsing and real-time temperature sensing.

At Arnprior Med Spa, its primary role is treating vascular concerns such as facial redness, rosacea-associated redness, broken capillaries and visible vessels.

The two wavelengths interact differently with tissue and penetrate to different depths.

The 532 nm KTP wavelength is particularly useful for many superficial vascular targets, while 1064 nm Nd:YAG can be selected for deeper vascular structures.

The appropriate wavelength depends on the vessel and the individual skin being treated.

Derma V can be used to reduce the vascular manifestations of rosacea, including persistent redness and visible vessels.

A 2023 clinical study specifically evaluating DermaV’s 532 nm wavelength reported measurable improvement in rosacea following up to three treatments.

Laser does not cure the underlying condition, and maintenance or additional management may be required.

Visible superficial vessels and telangiectasia are among the vascular concerns Derma V is designed to treat.

Response varies according to vessel size, depth, location and individual skin characteristics.

There is no universal number.

Lutronic notes that some individual lesions may respond after one session, while other concerns require multiple treatments over time.

For diffuse redness or rosacea-associated vascular change, a series may be recommended based on assessment and response.

Temporary redness and mild swelling can occur following treatment. Lutronic notes that many clients can resume normal activity immediately, but the visible treatment response depends on what is being treated and the treatment intensity.

Treatment sensation varies by area and treatment type.

Derma V incorporates integrated cryogen cooling designed to cool the skin around laser delivery and support patient comfort.

Yes. Derma V is a vascular and pigment platform, and its regulatory indications include selected benign pigmented lesions.

However, pigment has many causes. At Arnprior Med Spa, we may instead select treatments such as LaseMD Ultra or Hollywood Spectra depending on the type and depth of pigmentation being treated.

Vbeam belongs to the pulsed-dye laser family, commonly using a wavelength around 595 nm, while Derma V uses 532 nm KTP and 1064 nm Nd:YAG.

Both technology categories can be used for vascular concerns, but they use different wavelengths and pulse-delivery systems. Derma V also incorporates cryogen cooling and Variable Sequential Pulsing. A direct treatment recommendation should be based on the vascular target rather than assuming one brand is universally superior.

IPL and BBL are broad-spectrum light technologies, whereas Derma V is a laser system delivering specific 532 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths.

That distinction can make Derma V particularly useful when we are trying to selectively treat a defined vascular target. IPL/BBL may still have roles in broader photorejuvenation depending on the patient and treatment goal.

Although both platforms offer 532 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths, they deliver that energy very differently.

Derma V is a long-pulsed vascular/pigment platform primarily used in our clinic for vascular concerns such as redness and visible vessels.

Hollywood Spectra is a Q-switched nanosecond platform that uses ultra-short pulses and is primarily used within our clinic for pigment-focused treatments, laser toning, the Hollywood Laser Peel, AcnePeel and tattoo removal.

A successfully treated vessel may become significantly less visible, but treatment does not prevent new vascular changes from developing in the future.

Rosacea, UV exposure, genetics and other factors can contribute to ongoing vascular change, which is why some clients benefit from maintenance treatment and an ongoing skin-management plan.
