Redness
We look at dilated vessels, your skin barrier, and irritating habits together to plan vascular laser and care.
Facial redness has many possible causes
Redness often comes from a combination of dilated blood vessels, a weakened skin barrier, and sensitivity to temperature changes or irritation. We also check for conditions like rosacea that need separate treatment.
Along with lasers that target blood vessels, we guide you on daily habits, such as cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection, that are less likely to trigger redness.
