Facial redness can feel like a red card from your skin. Whether it’s heat, stinging, or just persistent flushing, many patients struggle to tell if it’s rosacea or seborrheic dermatitis.

At YSBB Skin Clinic, we often see cases where patients mistake one for the other. Despite looking similar on the surface, the causes and treatments are completely different. Let’s break down how to tell them apart — and how we treat each one.

1. Same redness, completely different causes

2. Different conditions, different treatments

If treated incorrectly, symptoms can worsen. Laser therapy on dermatitis can increase inflammation, while antifungals have no effect on rosacea.

3. How YSBB Skin Clinic makes an accurate diagnosis

Final Thoughts

Facial redness may seem like a simple cosmetic issue, but the underlying causes differ greatly. Rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis require completely different approaches — and getting the diagnosis wrong can lead to months of frustration and worsening symptoms.

If you’re experiencing frequent facial redness or heat, visit a dermatologist for proper evaluation and start a treatment plan that suits your skin.

Many patients struggle with lingering red marks on the skin—even after acne has healed. Others notice tiny broken capillaries on the cheeks or persistent redness on the nose. These vascular concerns often don’t fade with time or whitening creams alone.

Today, let’s explore what causes red spots on the skin and how vascular laser treatments at YSBB Skin Clinic can help.

1. Why do red marks appear on the skin?

Red discoloration typically stems from dilated or damaged blood vessels under the skin. Here are the most common causes:

Note: Redness is often vascular in nature, not pigment-based. That’s why whitening products or pigment lasers may not be effective.

2. How does a vascular laser work?

Vascular lasers emit targeted wavelengths that specifically absorb into hemoglobin (the pigment in red blood cells), destroying abnormal vessels with heat—while leaving the surrounding skin intact.

YSBB Approach: We use different laser wavelengths depending on your skin type and the depth of the vessel for optimal, safe results.

3. When is vascular laser most effective?

Redness-related concerns that respond well to vascular lasers include:

Note: Redness and broken capillaries tend to recur. For stable improvement, 2–4 sessions are typically recommended rather than a single treatment.

4. What should I know before starting treatment?

Final Thoughts

Redness may fade naturally over time, but it can take months—and often affects overall skin tone. At YSBB Skin Clinic, we offer personalized treatment using various vascular laser technologies, carefully selected based on the cause and depth of your condition.
