Rosacea Awareness Month: Understanding Redness
Rosacea is a common inflammatory condition that can present as facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, or breakouts that don’t respond to traditional acne treatments.
At Southern Marin Dermatology, our approach is guided by a deep understanding of the underlying biology of rosacea. This allows us to prescribe targeted medications when appropriate and treat each component of the condition with intention.
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. We consider how rosacea presents in your skin, along with common triggers like sun exposure, heat, stress, and other lifestyle factors that can contribute to flare-ups.
For visible redness and vascular concerns, we often incorporate Excel V, a laser treatment designed to target and reduce redness and broken blood vessels.
If you’re experiencing persistent redness or skin sensitivity, scheduling a medical visit is the best place to start.
Service Spotlight: Excel V for Redness
Excel V targets the vascular component of redness using a high-powered green laser. It selectively heats and collapses visible blood vessels beneath the skin, helping reduce facial redness, broken capillaries, and flushing associated with rosacea.
By addressing these vessels at their source, treatment helps restore a more even complexion while supporting longer-term control of redness.
Excel V can also be used to treat other vascular concerns, including spider veins, hemangiomas, and red or purple birthmarks.
Microneedling, Elevated
Microneedling stimulates collagen production, initiating the skin’s natural repair process and improving texture, tone, and overall skin quality.
To support this phase, we are offering a complimentary Deluxe Mini Plated Intense Serum with treatment for a limited time. This advanced formulation uses growth factors and exosome technology to help calm inflammation and enhance how the skin responds following treatment.
Why this matters post-treatment:
- Skin is more receptive immediately after microneedling, allowing active ingredients to penetrate more effectively
- Helps minimize visible redness and support a more comfortable recovery
- Supports a more even, refined result as new collagen develops
While microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones, a cosmetic consultation ensures the right approach for your skin and goals.
