Facial redness is often related to rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, broken blood vessels, and occasionally acne-like lesions on the nose, cheeks, and chin.  Broken blood vessels, also known as telangiectasias, are characterized by fine red vessels.  They are common around the nose and cheeks but may occur elsewhere.

For rosacea, it is often important to combine laser and light treatments with prescription topical medications.

For all light and laser treatments used for rosacea and broken blood vessels, there is typically no downtime.
