What causes facial redness?
Facial redness can develop for a number of reasons. For some people, it is temporary and triggered by heat, alcohol, stress or exercise. For others, redness becomes persistent and more noticeable over time.
Common causes of red skin on the face include:
- Rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin condition that commonly causes persistent facial redness and flushing.
- Broken capillaries or thread veins close to the surface of the skin
- Frequent flushing
- Post-acne redness following breakouts
- General skin sensitivity or irritation
In many cases, facial redness is related to visible blood vessels or inflammation beneath the skin. Understanding the underlying cause helps us to determine the best way to reduce the redness.
IMPORTANT: If you are concerned about severe or persistent facial redness, you should speak to your GP for medical assessment before seeking cosmetic treatment.
Facial redness treatments
Here at Dr Leah Clinics, our primary treatment for facial redness is the Harmony laser by Alma. This advanced laser technology is designed to target visible blood vessels and reduce unwanted redness safely and precisely.
The Harmony laser works by delivering controlled energy to affected areas, helping to reduce visible blood vessels and improve facial redness. It is suitable for treating rosacea-related redness, thread veins, flushing and post-inflammatory redness. Treatments are typically quick, minimally invasive and associated with minimal downtime.
In addition to laser treatment, we may also recommend medical-grade Obagi skincare to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce inflammation. For some clients, our rehydration and brightening facial can also help to soothe sensitive areas and improve overall skin tone.
Your treatment plan will be tailored to you. Our goal is not only to reduce facial redness but to improve your skin's overall health, restoring your confidence in your complexion.

Facial redness FAQs
The correct medical skincare products (which we can provide) may improve facial redness by 20 to 30% but moderate to severe redness is likely to require laser treatment. If the redness is very severe, you may require oral medication.
