Veins in the face are normally not visible but contribute to the peachy complexion in an attractive way. However, these veins can become dilated and sensitive due to sun exposure, chemicals, environmental trauma, infection and dietary components. As a result the face, the cheeks, nose or chin can be particularly red or prone to flushing.

Treatment is aimed to reduce the size of the vessels by light base therapies and then deal with the underlying sensitivity. Evidence is increasing that altered gut microflora can exacerbate or even cause facial redness and flushing, which can be treated with dietary alteration and microbiology support. Infection of the skin such as rosacea or acne can also be a cause of redness; skin care treatments and visible red light LED will be of value.

Our new Dermalux Tri Wave provides the essential light wavelengths that address all the features of red veins. Near Infra-red light reduces inflammation and tones the blood vessel walls. Visible red light enhances skin healing and returns the skin to a healthy metabolism. Blue light is a naturally anti-bacterial light that acts on the bacteria that cause acne and rosacea.

Redness and rosacea can have an underlying nutritional component which can be investigated by our specialists.
