Question

What is the best laser to get rid of persistent redness in the cheeks? There are no visible broken capillaries. Is Excel V the same as IPL? Thank You

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

BBL, excel V, v beam are all similar and depends on the person using the device.

You need proper skincare with skincare lines like faith (specifically the essence serum clay mask and moisture enrich lotion), Restorsea liquid gold and 10x cream, Sente dermal repair cream and 24 hour bio complete serum.  At home peels like emerageskin AERIFY with LED light therapy like lightstim can make a big difference.

In office, redness is treated with

1. vascular lasers (excel v, vbeam, BBL, IPL, Aerolase, yellow laser)

2. Aquagold or micro ampule infusion (botox topically)

3. microsecond yag lasers (laser genesis, Aerolase)

4. proper medical grade skincare (faith, Restorsea, sente, emerageskin) and LED therapy (light stim)

5. non ablative, low level, low density lasers (clear and brilliant)

6. nano fractional RF (venus viva)

see an expert for a full workup.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Before jumping into lasers, etc., you may wish to consider the use of microdroplets of Botox injected in very superficially in a grid pattern over the affected persistently reddened area. I have been performing this for the past couple of years with gratifying results for my rosacea sufferers with this problem. Hope this helps.
