When it comes to facial redness, New Jersey’s Skin & Laser Center of NJ team explains that while the condition impacts a significant percentage of both women and men, it is usually temporary. Unwanted facial flushing and persistent redness have numerous potential causes, including broken blood vessels, stress, rosacea, seborrhea, acne, and inflammation. The problem impacts people of all ages, and can begin at birth or any phase of life from childhood to old age. On its own, facial redness is not a dangerous condition (though it can be a sign of more serious medical conditions) and is usually not painful, but some patients report a loss of self-esteem and confidence as a result of the condition.
Many people who suffer from facial redness don’t pursue treatment, believing the condition is too mild to merit medical intervention, but the team at Skin & Laser Center of NJ offers multiple effective treatment options. Because early intervention is typically the most effective strategy, patients experiencing facial redness—whether for the first time or for a prolonged period—shouldn’t hesitate to seek out treatment.

Before developing a treatment plan, one of our providers will examine your skin. Getting an accurate diagnosis is key before starting any plan to address the vascular problem. From there, potential treatments will be discussed and may include some combination of the following:
Determining the best treatment for you will depend on the diagnosis and might require some trial and error. In certain cases, a single treatment method is effective, while other patients might benefit from a combination of options. Some treatments offered at Skin & Laser Center of NJ may provide long term relief from facial flushing, while others require multiple treatment sessions or ongoing care to mitigate symptoms.
As part of your treatment plan, your provider will likely recommend an at-home skincare routine that will include a non-soap cleanser and moisturizer. Avoiding direct sunlight and wearing sunscreen with a high SPF when exposed to the sun can also be a deterrent to facial redness. Your provider will also help identify your personal triggers so you can avoid them. Though it isn’t always possible to avoid common triggers, such as stress, we can help you develop a plan designed to maximize your results.
