What DermaV addresses
The right laser starts with the right diagnosis.
Redness, visible vessels, and brown discoloration can have different causes. Evaluation determines what is creating the color change and whether DermaV is an appropriate treatment.
Visible vessels + broken capillaries
Selected facial vessels may be treated after their appearance, location, extent, and likely cause have been evaluated.
Selected brown spots
Certain noncancerous brown spots may be appropriate for DermaV after Dr. Weiffenbach confirms the diagnosis and suitability for cosmetic laser treatment.

DermaV FAQs
The recommendation depends on the cause of the redness or discoloration, your skin history, and your goals.
What can DermaV treat?
DermaV may be used for selected blood vessel and noncancerous pigment concerns, including facial redness, visible vessels, broken capillaries, redness associated with rosacea, and appropriate brown spots. Clinical evaluation determines whether it is right for the concern.
Can DermaV treat rosacea?
DermaV may target persistent redness and visible vessels associated with rosacea when appropriate. Rosacea is a chronic condition, so laser treatment can be one part of ongoing care. It does not cure rosacea or replace medical treatment when that is needed.
What happens at a DermaV consultation?
Dr. Weiffenbach evaluates the visible concern, reviews your skin and health history, and discusses candidacy, treatment area, pricing, expected recovery, and options. The consultation is $150. If treatment is recommended and performed that day, the full fee is applied toward treatment. Otherwise, the consultation remains $150. Same day treatment is not guaranteed.
Can every brown spot be treated with DermaV?
No. Brown discoloration has different causes, and some spots require medical evaluation or another treatment. New, changing, irregular, bleeding, or diagnostically uncertain spots should be medically evaluated before cosmetic laser treatment.
How many DermaV treatments will I need?
There is no universal treatment count. The number of sessions varies with the concern, treatment area, response, and goals. The recommendation is discussed after evaluation and may change as your skin responds.
What should I expect after treatment?
Redness, swelling, or discomfort can occur. Laser treatment of vessels may also cause temporary red or purple marks, while treated brown spots may darken or crust before fading. Recovery varies with the concern, settings, and your skin. Less common complications, including scarring, are discussed during consultation. Follow the aftercare and sun protection guidance provided for your treatment.
How is DermaV different from Fraxel?
DermaV is generally considered when redness, visible vessels, or a suitable brown spot is the primary concern. Fraxel resurfaces small areas within the skin to address concerns such as sun damage, rough texture, fine lines, or certain scars. Evaluation determines which approach fits your skin and goals.
Is DermaV covered by insurance?
The DermaV treatments described on this page are elective, self pay cosmetic services and are not billed to insurance. Full face treatment is $550, and half face treatment is $450. The recommended treatment area and pricing are reviewed before you proceed.
