What type of laser is used to treat red marks and uneven skin tone on the cheeks?
Hello. I have red marks here and there on my cheeks, and my skin tone seems uneven, so I am inquiring about laser treatment.
When viewed up close, there are several small red marks on my cheeks, and some of them look like acne breakouts. I am wondering if these marks are simply acne scars or if they are related to facial flushing.
I heard that the red marks left after acne can naturally fade over time. Would laser treatment help shorten the recovery period? I heard that vascular lasers like V-Beam or Excel V are used to treat red marks.
I am curious about the differences between these lasers and whether they can improve both the red marks remaining on the skin and overall flushing. If I currently have some small acne blemishes, I would also like to know if I need to treat the acne first or if it can be combined with the treatment for the red marks.
I have also heard that temporary redness or bruising may occur after the laser procedure, so I am curious about the recovery period. Please advise on how many sessions are typically required to expect changes, and if there are any special precautions regarding sun protection or skin care after the procedure.

- 01CommentsIt must be really difficult to decide which laser to choose when you have both melasma and blemishes. Since Pico Toning and Clarity each have different characteristics, I think it would be best to check the type of pigmentation first. Also, I heard that melasma can get darker if irritated, so I really need to make a careful decision.260026.11.09

What kind of care should I start with for skin prone to severe redness during the change of seasons?[6]
CommentsIt seems like my skin gets more sensitive and my redness gets worse whenever the seasons change. ㅠㅠ Especially when there's a big temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, my face really flushes out, you know? lol At times like this, instead of applying all sorts of products, I think it's better to minimize irritation and focus on moisturizing first.210026.11.09 - 03CommentsIf I have redness on my cheeks, my skin tone doesn't look even, so I think it would be subtly bothersome. I've heard that flushing caused by blood vessels is sometimes managed with lasers, but I guess it depends on the cause, right? Haha. I'm curious to know which procedure would be suitable for me too.240026.11.09
