A Serious Approach to Redness
With Light Therapy, Laser, & Prescription Skin Care
What Is It?
Redness Reset treats persistent redness and tiny broken vessels with laser plus a home prescription routine. Rosacea comes from extra blood flow in small vessels near the surface. Light can close those vessels. Home skin care and lifestyle changes matter just as much. This is a series, not a one-visit facial, and it helps you manage a lifelong condition.
“This is a structured approach for men and women to use in improving long-term redness”
What Does This Series Do?
Uses 510 nm IPL to calm pinkness and fine surface vessels
Adds a 1064 laser for stubborn vessels that remain, especially on the nose
Pairs in-office treatments with a home routine and trigger control so redness is calmer between sessions
A 3-5 treatment series that is not a cure, but helps visibly reduce redness and broken blood vessels
Who Is It Best For?
Fitzpatrick I-IV skin types
Diffuse redness on the face, especially the cheeks and nose
Rosacea with visible vessels, including redness that remains after other light therapies such as BBL
Patients with a few vessels to those with an active bumpy flare. We will approach the flare first then start light therapy.
“We will start prepping up to two weeks before the first laser treatment. ”
