Redness on the face is often embarrassing, and can be caused by a number of factors. Among the most common are couperose and rosacea, which cause dilation of the blood vessels visible on the skin's surface.
Redness can also result from sensitive skin or be exacerbated by irritating cosmetics, temperature changes or hormonal factors.
Although not serious, redness can affect appearance and self-confidence, which is why appropriate treatment is so important, whether to soothe the symptoms or treat them on a long-term basis.
Personalized assessment
To determine the most appropriate treatment, an initial consultation is recommended.
The aim is to analyze your needs and draw up a customized treatment plan.
The different types of skin redness
Skin redness can be classified into several types, depending on its origin and intensity.
It is characterized by the appearance of small, dilated blood vessels under the skin, mainly on the cheeks and nose. This redness is often temporary.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes persistent redness, often accompanied by inflammatory pimples (papules and pustules).
It can affect different areas of the face, and is aggravated by factors such as stress or heat.
Rosacea is more complex and difficult to treat than couperose.
If you have sensitive skin, it may be prone to redness as a reaction to the climate, pollution or the application of cosmetics.
This redness disappears rapidly.
These occur after irritation or injury, such as sunburn or rash, and can last several days.
Each type of redness has distinct characteristics, making it possible to identify them and determine the appropriate treatment.
Causes of skin redness
Redness can be triggered by both internal and external factors.
- Internal factors
While some people have a genetic predisposition to sensitive skin or rosacea, others may develop redness due to stress, hormonal fluctuations, or certain medical conditions such as skin imbalances.
- External factors
External aggressors, such as temperature changes (cold, heat), sun exposure, or the use of unsuitable cosmetics (containing perfumes or alcohol) are often responsible for the appearance of redness.
An excessively spicy diet or excessive alcohol consumption can also be triggers.
