Facial Redness and Acne Symptoms

Facial Redness

Facial redness cross-section illustration — thin capillaries just below the skin surface widely dilated and spreading red, with the skin surface above flushed red

Facial redness is a skin condition that occurs when capillaries near the skin surface dilate.

The face has a relatively more developed distribution of blood vessels than other skin tissue of the body. In this condition, the skin of the face, neck, head and chest suddenly turns red with a sensation of heat that spreads throughout the body.

Acne

Acne cross-section illustration — a red pimple with a white head rising on the skin surface, the follicle below swollen with sebum and the surrounding tissue red with inflammation, and yellow sebum coming from the adjacent sebaceous gland

Acne mainly appears on the face but also occurs on other areas with developed sebaceous glands, such as the neck, back and chest.

Acne is a common skin condition, but it is very tricky to treat, and incorrect treatment or neglect can lead to other skin conditions and scarring, so it is important to get treatment early.

Causes of Acne

  1. Hormones

    At puberty, a hormone called androgen is produced, which causes the sebaceous glands to produce a lot of sebum. In women, the female hormone progesterone also stimulates sebum secretion, causing acne.

  2. Stress

    Excessive stress stimulates sebum secretion. To overcome stress, the body produces a hormone called cortisol and, along with it, androgens that stimulate sebum secretion.

  3. Cosmetics

    Cosmetics and sunscreens that don't suit your skin type, and other incorrect makeup habits, clog pores and cause or worsen acne.

Types and Treatment of Acne

Depending on severity, acne takes various forms, from non-inflammatory whiteheads and blackheads to inflammatory papular acne, pustular acne, cystic acne and nodular acne.

Illustration placing six types of acne in order of severity on a front view of a skin cross-section (epidermis · dermis · subcutaneous fat) — from the left, whiteheads · blackheads at the pore opening, papular · pustular around the pore, cystic · nodular deep in the skin
  1. Whitehead

    Sebum fills a pore with a closed opening and looks white.

  2. Blackhead

    Sebum in a pore with an open opening is exposed to air and looks black.

  3. Papular

    Inflammation develops around the pore, making it red and swollen.

  4. Pustular

    Pus forms in the center of the red, swollen area.

  5. Cystic

    A large pocket of pus fills deep in the skin.

  6. Nodular

    Inflammation deep in the skin feels hard and large.

Treatment Methods

  1. Acne medication scene — a gloved fingertip applying white ointment to acne on the cheek

    Medication

    Topical agents such as benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics and tretinoin ointment are used, and oral medication is added when topical therapy has failed, when lesions are widespread, or for moderate or more severe acne.

  2. Acne extraction scene — two gloved hands placing an extractor on the skin beside the nose

    Acne Extraction

    Forcefully squeezing acne can destroy the follicle wall weakened by inflammation, worsening symptoms and causing scars. Therefore, extraction by a skilled professional at a dermatology clinic is recommended.

  3. Scaling scene — a gloved hand applying a clear scaling solution to the cheek with a fan brush

    Scaling

    Scaling is a treatment that thinly peels the stratum corneum. As dead skin comes off, clogged pores open, sebum drains more smoothly, and skin regeneration is supported, helping improve skin condition. It also increases skin absorption of other topical agents, boosting their effectiveness.

  4. Laser treatment scene — a gloved hand placing a laser handpiece on the cheek of a face wearing eye protection

    Laser Treatment

    Acne can generally be controlled with extraction care, skin scaling and medication, but red marks, hyperpigmentation and scars caused by acne require laser treatment.

PROCESS

Skin Scaling and Acne Extraction

A peel that thinly dissolves dead cells in the outermost layer of the skin with scaling agents. Unlike general peeling, it activates the epidermis to make the skin healthy.

Effects of Scaling

Scaling Treatment Steps

  1. Cleansing

    The face is cleansed thoroughly with dedicated cleansing products.

  2. Steam

    Closed pores are opened using the right temperature and humidity.

  3. Exfoliation

    A special device removes impurities hidden deep in the pores.

  4. Scaling

    After a dedicated scaling solution is applied, impurities and aged dead skin are removed.

  5. Extraction

    If there is acne, it is carefully extracted with an extractor.

  6. Disinfection

    The skin is thoroughly disinfected to prevent secondary infection from acne extraction.

  7. Soothing Laser

    Helps wound healing and promotes regeneration.

  8. Soothing Mask

    Soothes the skin with skin-like ingredients and gives dry skin plenty of moisture.

Recovery After Treatment

  1. Day of Treatment

    Redness, heat sensation and small marks where acne was extracted may appear. After the soothing mask, apply only a light moisturizer.

  2. After 1–3 days

    Most redness and stinging subsides. Do not touch or squeeze the extraction sites.

  3. After 1 Week

    Extraction marks fade and skin texture becomes more even. Mild flaking may occur where a laser was used.

  4. After 1–4 weeks

    The next session is done every 1–2 weeks for scaling and every 3–4 weeks for laser.

Recovery speed and results vary by person and treatment method.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

QCan't I squeeze acne at home?
A

Forcefully squeezing with your hands can burst the follicle wall weakened by inflammation, spreading the inflammation or leaving scars. We extract with a sterilized extractor while checking the condition of the acne, and after extraction we disinfect and soothe the skin.

QHow often should I get scaling and extraction?
A

Depending on skin condition, usually multiple sessions are done every 1–2 weeks, and once breakouts decrease, the interval is extended. The number of sessions and interval vary from person to person.

QCan facial redness also be treated with lasers?
A

Dilated capillaries and redness are treated in multiple sessions with light energy (IPL) or laser devices. Redness can worsen again with UV rays, temperature changes and irritation, so lifestyle care is part of the plan.

QCan I wear makeup right after treatment?
A

On the day of scaling and extraction, apply only a light moisturizer. In most cases you can wear makeup from the next day. If there are wounds where acne was extracted, avoid makeup on those areas until they heal.

QCan I get treatment while taking acne medication?
A

Depending on oral acne medication (such as isotretinoin) or topical medication, the timing and intensity of treatment may need to be adjusted. Please tell us at the consultation which medications you are currently using.

Possible Reactions and Precautions After Treatment

Treatment AreasRedness, heat sensation and stinging may occur and usually subside within 1–3 days. Small marks may remain at extraction sites for a few days.
What to Avoid After TreatmentDo not touch or squeeze the extraction sites. For 2–3 days, avoid saunas, hot packs, alcohol and strenuous exercise.
Daily CareApply sunscreen thoroughly, and avoid scrubs and exfoliants for 1 week. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
When to Contact the Clinic Right AwayIf redness or pain gets worse, if pus or blisters appear, or if heat sensation lasts long
