How to Treat Facial Redness and Red Blotches [DermTV.com Epi #50]
Via www.dermtv.com – Facial redness and red facial blotches (eg, broken capillaries) are a common skincare issue. While many products claim to remove them, there is only one real cure. Dr. Schultz will explain why available products aren’t suitable and what procedure is. Transcript People with red blotches or broken blood vessels on their face are frustrated by their inability to find effective skin care products to help them with their problem. Here are the treatment choices: First and easiest is make-up. Green tinted foundation most effectively helps hide the red because green is opposite red in the color wheel (ie, they neutralize each other). Second are caffeine-containing products that are advertised to help reduce the size of blood vessels. If you constrict the blood vessels you will squeeze some blood out and there will be less red in the skin. The reality, though, is caffeine containing products usually work better to relieve the signs of Rosacea because of their anti-inflammatory powers than they do to really get the red out of your skin. Next are topical cortisone products which constrict the blood vessels very well and get the red out very effectively. However, the problem is you can not use them on an on-going basis. If you use them for too long after they have temporarily helped the redness, they will actually break the capillaries, cause more redness and thin the skin. So this isn’t an option. Lastly and the only thing that really works is laser treatments …

@insanekid1000 I have KPRF and what i do is i get coffee and mix it with water and stir, then i spread it on my face like a moisturiser and most of the redness goes away easily.
@insanekid1000 The blush is often caused by enlarged blood vessels for which the only effective treatment is the type of lasers discussed in this episode.
@erixa5 Anywhere from $300 – $800.
@xiongk11 Milk and water compresses are helpful for inflamed skin, but I’m not aware of it being helpful for treating the type of redness discussed in this episode.
I thought that Caffeine made your face more red due to increased heart rate.
@fsk87 is that effective?
@alec11james : @alec11james: yes buddy it is damn effective. just remember if u dont provide ur body with good nutrition no matter how good branded products u use and visit the great docs ull never get good results. now i have only one problem and that is my skin burns right after i take shower. my doc told me i have a very thin and sensitive skin for which i hv this sorta prob and it is kinda unique one. but m fine otherwise. u can give a try.
