What Are Facial Redness
Issues?
Facial redness can be a frustrating and often
persistent skin concern, triggered by various conditions, such as sun damage,
rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and acne. In some cases, it
can also be a sign of internal issues like lupus. Regardless of the cause,
facial redness affects the skin's overall appearance and can impact confidence.
To address this concern, it’s essential to identify the root cause of the
redness, so appropriate treatments can be tailored to restore a more even skin tone.
How We Treat It
At Dr. Anood Al-Issa Clinic, we utilize the
highly effective Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL),
also known as the yellow laser, to target and treat the underlying blood
vessels responsible for the redness. This specialized laser passes through the
skin layers, where it’s absorbed by blood vessels as heat. This process
effectively breaks down the blood vessels, allowing them to be reabsorbed and
cleared by the body, resulting in smoother, more balanced skin.

Helpful Tip:
After your treatment, temporary redness and mild swelling may occur, but these
are self-resolving and will subside within a few hours to a day. For the best
results, always protect your skin with sunscreen and avoid prolonged sun
exposure, as this can aggravate redness and hinder the healing process. Regular
follow-ups and maintaining a proper skincare routine tailored to your skin type
can help you sustain a clearer, more even complexion over time.
