Troubles with a Red Face

Facial redness, resembling a flushed face, is a common concern in white populations in Europe and America. In Japan, those with fair skin or thin facial skin are prone to developing a bright red face when symptoms occur, and once it appears, it is difficult to heal. Skin troubles such as acne and skin irritation, as well as recent irritation from masks, are also contributing factors.

Symptoms and Causes of a Red Face

Redness

Redness on the face can be caused by various factors such as “telangiectasia,” where capillaries expand and become visible through the epidermis, inflammation of the skin, etc.

Symptoms include redness around the cheeks or nose, a flushed appearance of the entire face, redness when feeling nervous or excited, redness due to changes in temperature, noticeable redness in the inner pores, hormonal dysfunction, gastrointestinal disorders, etc. “Rosacea,” which presents as redness resembling alcohol consumption along with acne-like bumps, is a type of telangiectasia.

Continuing improper care can worsen the condition, so red face treatment in aesthetic medicine is effective.

Treatment Method

Sylfirm X

This is a fractional microneedle RF treatment device that uses ultra-fine needles to deliver RF waves to the skin. By temporarily damaging the skin with RF waves and needles, the skin attempts to repair the wounds and increase collagen production. This results in improved skin firmness and elasticity, as well as improvements in wrinkles, sagging, and enlarged pores.

SylfirmX is also effective in improving liver spots, which were previously considered difficult to treat with laser therapy. For those who have given up on skin texture improvement treatment due to liver spots, Sulfirm X may be the ideal treatment. Additionally, Sulfirm X can be irradiated to the eyelids and around the eyes, making it suitable for those concerned about fine lines and sagging around the eyes.
