Question

I woke up to find this tiny red dot under one of my eyes sitting on my eyebag area. Any ideas what it is and what may have caused it? I've recently been using LED light masks (red, infrared, and green) and wondering if that may have had any effect on causing this...

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.

a tiny red dot under the eye could be due to various reasons, including minor trauma, burst blood vessel, or irritation. While it’s possible that the LED light masks could have some effect, it’s essential to consider other factors like rubbing the eyes, allergies, or any recent changes in skincare products.

If the red dot persists, increases in size, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it’s advisable to consult.

Best of luck !
