Can laser treatment help chronic blushing? (Not rosacea)

Question

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!

If you do not have any redness on your face when you are not blushing, a laser treatment will not help prevent your face from getting red when you do blush.

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.
