Redness & Rosacea

Win the Battle Against Red, Blotchy Skin

Facial redness and flushing can make anyone self-conscious and is difficult and time-consuming to cover with makeup.

Small blood vessels and capillaries that reside close to the surface of the skin are susceptible to dilation and breakage from continued sun and environmental damage. Skin disorders such as Rosacea also contribute to the appearance of redness, mainly in the central cheek and nose area. Professional skin treatments and ongoing sun protection can reduce the look of redness dramatically, and for progressive disorders like Rosacea, treatment can control the redness and breakouts associated with flare-ups.

Rosacea & Skin Redness FAQ

Why does my face always appear red and flushed?

In most cases, redness and flushing are due to tiny, blood vessels residing very close to the surface of the skin. Flushing and worsening of redness over time occur when microvessels dilate because of genetics, sun and environmental skin damage, and some skin disorders such as Rosacea.

What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a thorough physical exfoliation of dead surface skin cells and vellus hair resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion. It is an ideal treatment prior to Lumenis M22 IPL.

What is IPL?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. This photorejuvenation treatment can be customized by filtering the wavelengths of light to target your specific skin concerns. IPL is the “gold standard” for treating both redness and pigmented lesions with minimal to no downtime.

How do I know the best treatment for me?

You can select your treatment(s) and book them yourself through our online booking system or book a consultation with one of our skincare specialists for recommendations.

Are there any contraindications to these redness treatments?

Yes. We will ask you for a full skin history including current and past skincare products and medications. We may postpone your treatment if you are using skincare with exfoliating ingredients, if you are new to Retinol, or if you are taking or have recently taken Accutane.
