When you run a busy private practice specialising in laser and aesthetic dermatology, there’s no room for inefficiency. For PD Dr Katharina Herberger, founder of the Kompetenzzentrum Haut in Germany, Derma V has proven to be a significant step forward.

“It is highly efficient, extremely reliable, and offers a virtually endless range of parameter options,” she explains. “Where I once needed three different lasers for vascular work, I now need only one.”

A device that simplifies and strengthens practice
Dr Herberger has worked with vascular lasers for over 15 years, from dye lasers to continuous wave KTPs. For her, Derma V represents the best of these technologies combined into a single platform.

“I can rightly say that I have the most moderate laser for all types of vascular changes. I can predict results for patients and, above all, keep appointments because the laser always runs smoothly.”

This reliability has become a defining feature of her practice, giving patients confidence that outcomes will be consistent and downtime minimal.

Covering both medical and aesthetic needs
Derma V isn’t just a cosmetic tool in Dr Herberger’s clinic. It’s used to treat everything from rosacea and angiomas to more complex cases like port-wine stains and haemangiomas.
Children, adults, men and women all benefit from treatments, with patients typically experiencing only 2–3 days of mild redness or swelling before seeing results. Predictability is key:
“After getting familiar with the clinical endpoint, which is visible, it is very predictable and reproducible.”

Enhancing treatment possibilities

Derma V’s IntelliTrak™ technology allows Dr Herberger to treat larger areas like the décolleté and neck safely, without overlap or omission. She also highlights a specific rejuvenation protocol, A.R.T., which has enabled her to treat poikiloderma of Civatte, which is something no other device in her portfolio can match.

Backed by clinical studies
Beyond her day-to-day practice, Dr Herberger has contributed directly to the scientific evidence behind Derma V. She has conducted two head-to-head studies comparing Derma V with pulsed dye lasers (PDL):

  • A comparison in port-wine stain treatment providing a new alternative for patients with this challenging condition.
  • A prospective study on rosacea, one of the most common vascular indications, which Derma V “passed with flying colours.”

The findings align closely with her own clinical experience, highlighting Derma V’s reliability as an alternative to traditional vascular systems.
A reliable partner for modern dermatology

For Dr Herberger, Derma V is more than just another laser in her clinic. It’s the dependable workhorse that has streamlined her practice and opened the door to new treatment opportunities.

“To my knowledge, it is the most reliable device for vascular lesions,” she concludes.
