Gentle Light Therapy for Redness and Vascular Concerns
Soothe Flushed Skin and Restore an Even Tone
Facial redness can be difficult to manage, especially when it’s caused by broken capillaries, rosacea, or post-acne marks. If you’ve tried creams and calming serums without success, light-based therapy that targets blood vessels may be the next step.
At Dr Joyce Lim Skin & Laser Clinic, we offer a targeted treatment that helps reduce persistent redness and restore a more balanced complexion, without harsh peels or downtime. It’s a well-tolerated option for women seeking gentle yet effective support for sensitive or reactive skin.
What It Helps With
This treatment is designed to target blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, making it suitable for:
- Persistent redness or flushing
- Rosacea
- Broken capillaries and spider veins
- Red acne scars or marks
- Redness from post-inflammatory pigmentation
Whether your concern is long-standing or recently developed, this approach can help restore a calmer, more even look.
How It Works
The treatment uses focused light energy to target the red or pink tones in the skin, specifically the small blood vessels responsible for visible redness. The light is absorbed by these vessels, which are then gradually cleared away by the body over time.
Because the energy is absorbed by colour and not the skin surface, the treatment is precise and gentle.
What to Expect
Sessions are relatively quick, usually 15–30 minutes depending on the area. You may feel a light warming or tapping sensation as the light is delivered. Most women tolerate the treatment well, and numbing is generally not required.
After the session, the treated areas may look slightly flushed or pink. In some cases, mild bruising may occur, especially when treating visible veins or more pronounced redness, but this fades within several days.
A Calmer Look, One Step at a Time
You may begin to see visible improvement after one to two sessions, though a series of treatments may be recommended depending on the severity and cause of the redness. Dr Joyce Lim will assess your skin and provide a tailored plan that supports both results and skin comfort.
Caring for Your Skin After
After treatment, it’s best to avoid hot showers, strenuous exercise, or direct sun exposure for the first few days. Gentle skincare and diligent sun protection will help your skin recover and maintain your results.
Dr Lim may also recommend products to support sensitive skin and reduce flare-ups moving forward.
