What Lutronic Derma V laser treats
Facial redness and rosacea
Targets diffuse flushing and visible facial vessels.
Broken capillaries and thread veins
Helps reduce the appearance of small, visible blood vessels.
Pigmentation and melasma
Targets superficial and deeper pigmentation for a more even-looking tone.
Post-inflammatory redness
Helps fade persistent redness left behind by acne.
Skin rejuvenation
Stimulates collagen for improved tone, texture and firmness.
How it works
The Derma V's wavelengths are absorbed by haemoglobin in vessels and by excess pigment, fading both while leaving surrounding skin protected by cooling. Collagen stimulation improves overall tone and texture as a secondary benefit.
What to expect during treatment
Treatment is quick and well tolerated, with a warm sensation moderated by cooling. Most facial treatments take under an hour.
Downtime and aftercare
Downtime is minimal — mild redness or warmth that typically settles within hours to a day. Sun protection is advised throughout a course.

Suitability and skin of colour
The Derma V's cooling and wavelength options make it one of the more adaptable vascular lasers for a range of skin tones, but treatment of redness and pigmentation in skin of colour still demands experience — an area in which Dr Phillips specialises.

FAQs

Its cooling and wavelength options make it adaptable across skin tones, but assessment remains essential — particularly for skin of colour.
Does the Derma V cure rosacea?
It significantly reduces redness and vessels, but rosacea is a long-term condition best managed with an ongoing, dermatologist-led plan.
Is there downtime after Derma V?
Minimal — usually mild redness that settles within hours to a day.
How many sessions will I need?
A short course is typical; the number depends on the concern and is confirmed at consultation.
