Skin & Body
Redness · Vessels
Facial flushing and visible capillaries arise where dilated vessels and a sensitized barrier are intertwined. We separate the causes, then treat the vessels only as much as needed.
Redness
Redness · Vessels
Skin that flushes easily and shows fine capillaries on the nose and cheeks often involves both dilated vessels and a barrier that has grown sensitive to irritation. Targeting the vessels alone with strong settings may lighten them for the moment, yet heat and redness can keep returning. Cheongdam Laplace first distinguishes the type of redness and its triggers, then decides on the intensity.
Recommended for
- Those whose cheeks and nose flush often, with warmth that lingers
- Those with fine capillaries standing out beside the nose or on the cheeks
- Those whose face heats up easily with temperature changes or after drinking
- Those with sensitive skin that stings and reddens each time they change products
- Those left with red marks long after acne inflammation has settled
- Those whose redness worsened after long-term use of steroid ointment
Our View
How we see it at Cheongdam Laplace
The process
01
Consultation and examination
We review when the flushing occurs and how long it lasts, the cosmetics and medications you use, and examine the condition of the vessels under magnification.
02
Classifying the redness
We determine whether dilated vessels are central or an inflammatory reaction is also involved, and decide which wavelength and intensity to use.
03
Selective vascular treatment
We treat only the areas that need it, and if purpura would be difficult for your schedule, we lower the intensity and divide the treatment across sessions.
04
Maintenance guidance
We explain calming care between sessions, sun protection, and ways to reduce heat exposure.

Frequently asked questions
Will I get bruise-like marks after the procedure?
Depending on the vascular laser settings, temporary purpura may appear, and in many cases it fades over several days to about two weeks. The degree and duration vary from person to person. If you have an important engagement, please tell us in advance. We can lower the intensity and divide the treatment across sessions so that less purpura forms, though we cannot say that none will occur.
Will the flushing disappear completely?
Vessels that have already dilated may fade with treatment, but the flushing response itself does not disappear. Redness can return with temperature changes, alcohol, and irritation, so we suggest keeping up your care habits as well.
Is redness from acne marks treated the same way?
Vascular laser may help with red marks left after inflammation has settled. That said, if active acne remains, it favors recovery to treat the inflammation first and then set the order.
Is winter a better time for treatment?
What matters more than the season is whether your schedule allows you to reduce UV and heat exposure before and after the procedure. If you are outdoors a great deal during that period, we adjust by lowering the intensity and widening the intervals.
Precautions and possible side effects
- Redness, warmth, and swelling may continue for several hours to several days right after the procedure.
- Depending on the settings, temporary purpura may form and remain for several days to about two weeks.
- Blisters, crusting, burns, and temporary pigment changes may occur in rare cases.
- Very rarely, infection or a scarring reaction may remain.
- On sensitive skin, redness may temporarily stand out more after the procedure.
- Please avoid saunas, intense exercise, and alcohol during recovery.
- Reactions and recovery periods vary from person to person.
Treatment results may vary depending on individual condition, and side effects may occur. Please confirm the details through a consultation with our medical staff.
