Can laser treatment help chronic blushing? (Not rosacea)

B
Bm89Jan 13, 2021

Hello, ever since I was a teenager I’ve suffered from chronic blushing. I don’t have rosacea or any redness in general, just pale skin. Initially I just started blushing in social situations for no reason and no I have a fear of blushing and social anxiety. My question is, can laser treatment reduce the extremity of my blushing? Is this possible since I don't have rosacea or broken capillaries etc? thank you!

I find it can take 6-8 weeks to see the full effect from a pulsed dye laser treatment.  Red lesions frequently do require more than one treatment to get the best results.
