DermaV is a dual-wavelength laser for facial redness, rosacea flushing, visible veins and brown spots. At Dermatology Institute of Detroit on Michigan Avenue in Dearborn, every DermaV plan starts with a skin review by our fellowship-trained, board-certified dermatology team, so the settings match your skin and your goals.

DermaV is a laser platform built for two of the most common reasons patients ask us about cosmetic laser care: redness and uneven pigment. It combines two wavelengths in one device, 532 nm for surface redness and brown spots and 1064 nm for deeper vessels, so one visit can address more than one concern.
In our Dearborn office, DermaV sits alongside laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels and microneedling. If texture, scarring or fine lines are your main concern, we may point you to one of those instead, or combine them.
The laser light is absorbed by the red pigment in small blood vessels and the brown pigment in sun and age spots. That energy heats the target and leaves the surrounding skin alone. Treated vessels fade over the following weeks, and brown spots usually darken slightly, then flake away.
DermaV is used for rosacea redness and flushing, broken capillaries on the nose and cheeks, cherry angiomas, sun spots, age spots and red marks left after acne. The two short clips below show the device in use. Both contain flashing light.

One device treats both red and brown concerns, so many patients do not need separate lasers for redness and pigment. Sessions are quick, there is no cutting, and most people return to normal plans the same day. Because the laser targets pigment and blood vessels, the skin around the treated spot is spared. And your treatment is planned and overseen by a dermatology practice, so a spot that looks suspicious is checked before it is treated.
The cost of a DermaV session depends on the size of the area, whether you are treating redness, pigment or both, and how many sessions your skin needs. Cosmetic laser treatment is usually not covered by insurance. Book a consultation for an accurate quote, and ask about Cherry financing if you would like to spread out payments.
Dr. Abraham Abdulhak is a board-certified, fellowship-trained dermatologist and Mohs surgeon who grew up in Dearborn. He earned his medical degree at Wayne State University and completed his dermatology residency at VCU Health. He and nurse practitioner Lamise Mohana plan every DermaV treatment around a full skin assessment. Our Google reviewers say the team takes time to listen and keeps appointments on schedule.
Yes. DermaV is commonly used for rosacea redness, flushing and the small visible vessels that come with it. We often pair it with medical rosacea care so flares stay under control.
