Flushing Treatment

Telangiectasias in Aurora, ON, Canada, by Dr Amber Bockneck

What is Flushing?

Flushing refers to the temporary or persistent redness of the skin, typically affecting the face and neck. This condition can result from various underlying causes and may present as redness due to Rosacea, visible capillaries, or Telangiectasias (spider veins). These conditions differ in appearance and triggers but share the common feature of increased blood flow or vessel visibility under the skin. Treatments for flushing aim to reduce redness, improve skin appearance, and boost confidence.

Types of Flushing:
