Skin Concerns / Redness
Redness
Redness is a diagnostic challenge, not a cosmetic one.
Overview
People with this condition are consistently red or flush easily. Broken facial capillaries and acne-like pustules on the face are also a common consequence of having redness (rosacea).
What causes redness ?
The exact cause of rosacea is unknown. Then again, several factors contribute to redness, including:
- Too many (Demodex) naturally live on the skin, can excess can trigger rosacea. (Redness)
- H. pylori bacterial infection may contribute to redness.
- Malfunctioning cathelicidin protein can lead to rosacea (redness) symptoms.
Exposure to certain climates, radiation (including UV radiation) resulting in vessel wall abnormalities may play a role in the development of the disease.
Our Beliefs
1.
Finding the right cause before treatment
Redness is often due to an underlying condition such as rosacea, but there are many possible causes.
2.
Diagnosis comes first
Correct diagnosis is essential before treatment.
Key point of difference
We use lasers to treat specific vascular issues (e.g. broken capillaries/telangiectasia), not generalised redness.
Generalised redness often requires medical therapy, skincare, and barrier repair, not aggressive laser use.
