Redness on upper cheeks. What are my options to reduce it? (Photo)

Hi! You could do the IPL (photo facial) this is an intense pulsed light which will correct your redness on your cheeks, it will also correct any sunspots and broken capillaries for you!

A IPL light based treatment would best help reduce this redness on your cheeks. The treatment works by a light generated heat that breaks apart unwanted pigment and eliminates undesired redness and fine blood vessels.

In addition to the regular at-home use of topical Rx anti-redness medications, you may wish to explore the use of intradermally placed, microdroplets of Botox, which I have successfully employed on a number of occasions for treating persistent facial flush and erythema. The treatment is simple and only takes a few minutes to perform. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector expert. Hope this helps and best of luck.
