At first, I thought it was a temporary phenomenon, but lately, the redness doesn't cover up well even with makeup, and my skin tone looks patchy overall, so I am very self-conscious. When I take photos, my cheeks often appear unusually red, and people around me sometimes ask why my face is so red, which is stressful.
My skin is generally sensitive, so it gets easily irritated when I use new cosmetics, and my face turns red quickly even after washing it. I moisturize consistently and try to apply sunscreen every day, but I don't feel like the redness itself is improving much.
I have seen many recommendations online for vascular laser treatments such as V-Beam, Excel V, and Genesis, and I am wondering if they would be helpful for my skin condition. I would also like to know if I need an accurate diagnosis to determine whether my face simply turns red easily or if it is flushing caused by dilated capillaries.
I am also curious about how many sessions are typically required to see results and what the appropriate interval between treatments is. I would like to know in advance if I can resume my daily activities immediately after the procedure, and whether redness or bruising will linger for a long time. Since I have sensitive skin, I am also concerned about potential irritation.
I am curious whether facial flushing tends to last a long time once it improves, or if consistent management or additional treatments are necessary.
