Say Goodbye to Facial Redness & Rosacea and Broken Vessels
Persistent redness, broken capillaries, and flushing can make your complexion look uneven and aged. Whether your redness is caused by rosacea, sun damage, or vascular changes, the right treatment can restore your skin’s natural clarity.
Dr. Dylan Greeney, in Evansville, is a board-certified dermatologist who offers advanced laser treatments for redness to effectively target visible blood vessels, rosacea, and flushing—revealing a clearer, more balanced complexion.
What Causes Facial Redness & Rosacea
Facial redness happens when tiny blood vessels under the skin become enlarged, broken, or overactive leading to persistent flushing or visible capillaries. The most common causes include:
✅ Sun Damage → UV exposure weakens blood vessels and makes them more visible over time.
✅ Rosacea → A chronic condition where facial vessels dilate easily, causing flushing, redness, and sensitivity.
✅ Broken Capillaries & Spider Veins → Small surface vessels that create red lines or patches on the skin.
✅ Aging → As skin thins with age, blood vessels become more noticeable, especially on the cheeks and nose.
Best Treatment for Rosacea & Redness: Where to Start?
Dylan Greeney can carefully evaluate your skin and recommend the treatment that’s right for you. Whether it’s a single visible vessel or overall facial flushing, he treats both every day with precision. Redness on the neck or chest?

Identifying What Causes Your Redness: Find the Right Treatment
Big vessels or Small Vessels? Dr. Greeney Treats Them All!
Not all facial redness comes from the same type of blood vessels. Some are tiny surface capillaries that create fine red lines, while others are larger vessels that cause flushing or widespread redness. Each type responds differently to treatment, which is why Dr. Dylan Greeney customizes laser settings to precisely target the vessels causing your redness—big or small—for clearer, healthier-looking skin.
Facial Redness (Rosacea)
Also called rosacea or facial flushing, redness develops when blood vessels under the skin become enlarged or overactive. It most often appears on the cheeks, nose, and forehead, and can worsen with triggers like heat, sun, or stress.
Common in: Fairer skin tones and individuals with frequent sun exposure or a family history of rosacea.

Choosing the Right Pigmentation Treatment for You
Which Redness Treatment Is Best for Your Skin?
With so many options available, finding the best treatment for facial redness or rosacea depends on the type of blood vessels involved, your skin tone, and your treatment goals.
Key Factors to Consider:
Type of Redness – Small surface capillaries or mild flushing may respond well to BBL Laser or a vascular laser like DermaV, while more extensive rosacea or stubborn redness often requires advanced stacked vascular laser therapy.
Desired Results – Want a subtle reduction in redness or a more dramatic transformation? BBL and light-based treatments can offer gradual improvement, while DermaV provides faster, more targeted vessel clearance with visible results.
Downtime & Recovery – Both BBL and vascular lasers like DermaV can cause some mild swelling or temporary redness—that’s expected with any redness treatment. BBL is a great option for patients seeking subtle, gradual improvement with very little downtime. For those wanting more powerful results, the DermaV laser is the most advanced vascular laser available today, offering greater comfort, faster treatments, and significantly less downtime than older-generation lasers.
Long-Term Maintenance – Redness can return if vessels are re-triggered by sun, heat, or lifestyle factors. Daily SPF, trigger management, and maintenance treatments are key for lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Treatments For Redness
-
The best treatment for facial redness depends on the type and size of blood vessels causing it. For mild flushing or small surface vessels, BBL Laser works well to gradually reduce redness. For more stubborn rosacea, broken capillaries, or widespread redness, the DermaV Laser provides deeper, more powerful results with advanced precision and comfort.
-
Laser treatment for redness works by targeting the tiny blood vessels under the skin that cause flushing, broken capillaries, and rosacea. The laser’s light energy heats these vessels safely, causing them to collapse and fade while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
Treatments like BBL Laser use gentle light energy to reduce surface redness and improve overall skin tone, while the DermaV Laser goes deeper—precisely targeting stubborn vessels with advanced cooling and comfort features for long-lasting results.
-
Yes! Vessels on delicate areas like the eyelids and lips can be safely treated with laser. As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Greeney routinely performs laser procedures in these sensitive areas with precision and care. His expertise allows him to target vessels effectively while protecting the thin skin of the eyelids and lips restoring a clearer, more even appearance.
-
Some vessels can disappear after a single treatment, but most patients see the best results with a series of about 3 sessions, as redness continues to improve over time. After that, many patients choose 1–2 maintenance treatments per year to keep their skin clear.
Dr. Greeney’s philosophy is simple: if your skin is happy and you’re happy, he’s happy. Daily sunscreen and high-quality skincare are also key to protecting and extending your results.
-
Will there be downtime?
Yes—some downtime is expected with any redness treatment, but it’s usually mild. After BBL or DermaV, you may notice a few days of puffiness and redness, especially under the eyes, where swelling tends to be most visible. This is normal and part of the healing process. Most patients feel comfortable returning to daily activities right away, with the swelling fading over several days.
