Facial redness often results from inflammation, sun damage, or an imbalance in pigment. At RHMD, we refine and restore the complexion using YouthLab Polish and Luxe Polish, treatments that calm, brighten, and renew skin for lasting clarity and radiance.
The Science Behind Facial Redness
Facial redness, or erythema, results from complex interactions between blood vessels, inflammation, nerves, and the skin’s barrier.
- Blood Vessel Activity: Capillaries expand from sunlight, heat, or stress, creating a flushed appearance. Chronic dilation can sustain redness even after triggers pass.
- Inflammation & Immune Response: Immune cells release molecules like cytokines that, while protective, can prolong redness and sensitivity.
- Structural Changes: Persistent inflammation can degrade collagen and alter the skin’s support network, leading to texture changes and reduced resilience over time.
- Skin Barrier Disruption: A weakened barrier from UV exposure, acne, or harsh products makes skin more reactive and prone to redness.
