Treatment Overview
Laser Redness Therapy is a vascular-focused treatment widely performed in Korean dermatology clinics to reduce chronic facial redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, and post-acne erythema (PIE). Depending on redness severity, dermatologists typically use Vbeam (pulsed-dye laser) for vascular lesions or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for diffuse redness and pigmentation.
Unlike general resurfacing lasers like CO₂ or Fraxel, Laser Redness Therapy directly targets hemoglobin, shrinking dilated vessels and calming skin flushing. In Korea, this therapy is often combined with regenerative boosters such as exosomes, PN, or PRP to strengthen skin, prevent recurrence, and achieve long-term redness control.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Redness, Rosacea, Capillaries, PIE, Sensitive Skin family (Laser Redness Therapy, Anti-Redness IPL, Flushing Vbeam, Couperose Vbeam, Redness Fraxel):
- Laser Redness Therapy: Best for redness management with both Vbeam + IPL.
- Anti-Redness IPL: Best for mild redness and pigment concerns.
- Flushing Vbeam: Best for rosacea and vascular flushing.
- Couperose Vbeam: Best for visible broken vessels.
- Redness Fraxel: Best for redness with texture and pore issues.
