Redness, Rosacea, and Reactive Skin: Can Laser Help?
If you’re noticing persistent redness across your cheeks, nose, or chin — or find your skin flares up with heat, sun, or stress — you may be dealing with rosacea or a similar vascular condition.
At Platinum Cosmetics in Port Melbourne, we see this often.
And while there’s no one-size-fits-all cure, our Fotona laser treatments can significantly reduce redness, calm flare-ups, and restore a more even tone over time.
What Is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes:
Persistent facial redness (especially cheeks and nose)
Flushing or visible blood vessels
Sensitivity, stinging, or irritation
In some cases, small bumps or pustules
While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, triggers often include heat, alcohol, stress, UV exposure, and certain skincare products.
How Does Laser Help with Redness?
Fotona’s long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser targets the tiny blood vessels and inflammation beneath the skin that contribute to chronic redness.
It works by:
Gently heating vascular structures to reduce visibility
Calming inflammation
Strengthening the skin’s resilience over time
Treatments are non-invasive and tailored to your skin’s sensitivity level.
What to Expect
Most clients require 3–6 sessions for visible improvement
Sessions are spaced about 3–4 weeks apart
Mild warmth or redness may follow treatment, but there’s usually no downtime
Results build gradually with each visit
We often recommend pairing laser with a customised skin care plan to support barrier function and reduce triggers.
Is It Right for My Skin?
Laser can help with:
Rosacea
Diffuse redness
Broken capillaries (telangiectasia)
Flushing-prone or reactive skin
During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and create a plan that may include laser, supportive facials, and skincare designed for rosacea-prone complexions.
