“Red face” is one complaint with several different diseases behind it. Gwang (GLOW) Dermatology in Cheongdam begins redness treatment by identifying which type is actually present, because each responds to different care.
The main types
Transient flushing that comes and goes with heat or emotion; persistent background redness from chronically dilated capillaries; visible individual vessels, often around the nose and cheeks; and papular redness with small bumps resembling acne. Many patients carry a mix, which changes the treatment order.
Matching treatment to type
Vascular laser targets dilated vessels and persistent redness; settings and passes differ for fine flushing versus discrete vessels. Papular types may need medical therapy alongside laser. Barrier repair and trigger management support every type; without them, results rebound.
What a course looks like
Treatment runs as a staged course with sessions spaced weeks apart, reassessed as the skin responds. Daily life continues normally with sun protection. The starting point is a diagnosis visit, where the type, and a realistic plan, are established.
