Yeongdeungpo Rosacea Treatment: Will Facial Redness Improve After Laser Treatment?

Will Facial Redness Improve After Laser Treatment?

Hello, this is U&I Clinic, Yeongdeungpo Branch.

“Some redness and blemishes are visible on my face.

Will toning make my skin tone clearer?”

When blemishes and redness appear together, it is easy to think that both can improve with toning because they can each make the skin tone look uneven.

However, although they may look like the same type of skin tone problem on the surface, brown blemishes and redness require different factors to be considered during treatment.

The person we are introducing today was a woman in her 50s who came in for a consultation about a skin tone laser treatment because she was concerned about both blemishes and redness.

After examining her skin, we determined that the pigmentation and blood vessels needed to be treated separately.

Let’s take a look at why these two problems are difficult to treat in the same way, and how her redness changed over the one year she continued treatment.

Why did we recommend

facial redness laser treatment?

There is more than one cause of an uneven-looking skin tone.

Scattered brown blemishes can make the skin look dull, while widespread redness or facial flushing, in which fine blood vessels are visible, can make the face look blotchy.

This patient was concerned not only about blemishes but also about redness, and she came in considering toning to make her skin tone look clearer.

However, when we examined her skin with Mark-Vu, we found widespread redness on her forehead, cheeks, and chin, along with visible blood vessels.

Therefore, treating only the blemishes would not have been enough to achieve the even skin tone she wanted.

We first needed to assess separately how much the brown pigmentation and facial redness each contributed to her uneven skin tone.

What is the treatment method for

facial redness with laser treatment?

Pigmentation treatment and vascular treatment share the goal of creating a more even skin tone, but the targets the laser needs to respond to are different.

For brown blemishes, the melanin within the skin must be considered. Pigmentation lasers deliver light that responds to melanin, helping concentrated pigmentation gradually become lighter.

Even when pigmentation appears the same shade of brown, the treatment method and intensity may vary depending on the type, depth, and distribution of the pigmentation.

Redness treatment, on the other hand, uses light that is readily absorbed by the red color of blood.

When the blood vessels absorb this light, a thermal reaction occurs, helping the visible blood vessels and redness look less prominent than before.

Areas with clusters of fine blood vessels and areas with widespread redness, such as the cheeks, differ in size and skin response, so the energy level and treatment range must also be adjusted accordingly.

For this patient, we treated the pigmentation with Pico Toning and Hollywood Toning, while also addressing vascular redness with V-Beam and Clarity.

Rather than grouping blemishes and redness together under the single name “toning,” we separated the approach according to the causes of the brown and red discoloration.

Using several devices did not mean that the same combination was used at every visit.

At each treatment session, we assessed which was more prominent—pigmentation or redness—and how her skin had responded after the previous procedure, then adjusted the priorities and treatment range.

How did her skin change after

redness treatment?

This patient continued treatment for a total of 11 sessions while we monitored her skin’s response. Let’s look at how the redness changed at sessions 4, 8, and 11.

By the fourth session, the widespread redness covering both cheeks had begun to fade compared with the beginning.

The boundary between the red areas and the surrounding skin had also become somewhat softer, although redness remained around the nose and on the inner cheeks.

By the eighth session, the redness on the outer cheeks and lower chin had decreased further, making the skin tone appear more even than before.

The patient was also pleased, saying that people around her had commented that her skin looked different.

By the 11th session, the reduced redness that had previously spread widely across her entire face had been maintained.

The vascular redness visible on the lower chin was also less prominent than at the beginning, and the area of redness remaining on the inner cheeks had become narrower.

A reduction in redness did not mean that all the blemishes had disappeared as well.

Afterward, we decided to determine again whether to address the remaining redness or blemishes first and continue treatment for her uneven skin tone.

Today, we discussed a case of redness treatment in Yeongdeungpo.

At first, this patient was also curious whether toning could make both her blemishes and redness look clear at the same time.

However, because the causes of her uneven-looking skin tone were divided between brown pigmentation and vascular redness, each required an appropriate treatment approach.

Even while continuing treatment, we did not simply repeat the same combination of devices that had been selected at the beginning.

We examined the range of redness remaining that day, the visible blood vessels, changes in the blemishes, and the extent to which her skin had recovered, then adjusted the next treatment accordingly.

If you are unsure which laser treatment to receive because you have both blemishes and redness, rather than choosing toning alone first, begin by considering whether the color making your skin tone look uneven is brown or red.
