Types of Redness

Skin redness can show up in your skin in various ways, each with distinct characteristics and underlying causes. Understanding the type of redness you’re experiencing is crucial to finding the right treatment plan. Common types of redness that we can treat include:

Rosacea: A chronic condition often presenting as facial flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps.

Post-Inflammatory Erythema (PIE): Redness that lingers after acne or skin trauma.

Vascular issues: Broken capillaries, telangiectasia, poikiloderma, cherry angioma, vascular lesions and spider veins

Making a Treatment Plan

A personalized approach is essential for effectively managing skin redness. We begin with a thorough skin analysis and consultation to identify the type and cause of your redness. From there, we design a treatment plan that includes options for downtime and healing, different budgets, and how quickly you’d like to see results. It’s important to remember that some of these conditions will see immediate results, and others will take time to see change. Patience and dedication is required for effective treatment. Your plan may include:

Professional Treatments: Advanced in-clinic solutions to address the root cause of redness.

Customized Skincare Routine: Gentle, effective products to nourish and calm your skin.

Lifestyle Modifications: Advice on avoiding triggers and adopting healthier habits.

Collaboration and consistency are key to achieving and maintaining results.

Laser and Light-Based Treatments

For many types of skin redness, laser and light-based treatments offer effective, long-lasting results. These are some of our commonly used technologies for addressing different kinds of skin redness conditions:

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy: IPL targets redness by breaking down hemoglobin in visible blood vessels, helping to reduce flushing, rosacea, and sun damage. We use the industry-leading IPL called the BroadBand Light (BBL) device for these treatments.

Fractional Lasers: These promote collagen production while minimizing redness and improving overall skin texture.

During the consultation we will make a recommendation for the device or devices that we think would yield the best results for your specific condition.
