Medical and laser pathways
Rosacea and facial redness assessment.
Facial redness can have several causes. A specialist assessment helps distinguish rosacea from other conditions and identify whether medical treatment, procedural treatment or both may be appropriate.
Specialist consultation
Assessment guides the next step.
We consider the pattern of redness, flushing, bumps, sensitivity, eye symptoms and factors that aggravate the condition.
When treatment for persistent redness or visible vessels is appropriate, Scars & Lasers provides the dedicated laser pathway.

- Sensitive or stinging skin
- Dry, gritty or irritated eyes
Common questions
Answers to common questions.
Do I need medicine or laser treatment?
Medical treatment can help inflammation and bumps; laser treatment may be considered for persistent redness or visible vessels. Some patients benefit from both pathways.
Is every red face rosacea?
No. Dermatitis, sun damage and other conditions can cause facial redness, which is why diagnosis should come before procedural treatment.
