Can Photofacials Help Excessive Blushing?
I have very fair skin with an uneven pink complextion that is very prone to blushing. Sometimes the blushing is for no good reason at all and can last for an hour. Will a Photofacial help with the blushing?

Facial redness and blushing may be associated with rosacea. IPL or photofacial is a good treatment option for this. You may require a series of treatments, spaced one month apart from each other.

Rosacea
You might have rosacea and should see an excellent dermatologist for an evaluation. IPL can blanch out the vessels and make the pinkness less of an issue.
