DermaV™ Treatment Louisville

What is It?

The Lutronic Derma V is a state of the art dermatology laser which provides numerous solutions for skin treatment. It has two working wavelengths that are 532nm and 1064nm thus making it efficient in the treatment of various pigmentation and vascular lesions. Below are some of the features and uses of Derma V:

Dual Wavelengths: It has two working wavelengths namely 532nm (KTP) and 1064nm (Nd:YAG) that makes it more powerful to treat both the brown and red coloration. The 532nm wavelength is ideal for treating the more superficial vascular lesions while the 1064nm wavelength is able to target deeper levels of the skin for issues such as port wine stains.

Variable Sequential Pulsing: This technology also provides the ability to set the pulse duration and the structure of the pulse, which is useful for different treatments. It is highlighted as the first device that provides this option together with cryogen cooling which is used to minimize the damage to the skin during the procedure.

IntelliTrak Technology: This system provides real time tracking of the handpiece thus ensuring that all the areas receive equal coverage during treatment and hence increasing the efficiency of the treatment.

Effective Cooling System: Derma V has an integrated cooling system that provides cooling before, during and after the treatment to ensure that the patient is comfortable during the process.
