Redness can be inflammatory, vascular, pigment-related, or caused by another skin condition. Assessment helps decide whether medical care, IPL, or laser may be appropriate.
Facial redness and visible vessels can overlap with rosacea, sun damage, dermatitis, scarring, or irritation. The appearance of redness alone does not determine the right treatment.
Assessment is designed to identify the cause, control active inflammation where needed, and consider IPL or laser options only when the pattern and skin type are suitable.
