In addition to redness, we will organize the overlap of inflammation, barrier function, blood vessels, and skin aging in the examination.
Facial redness can be caused by a variety of factors, including rosacea, dermatitis, acne, dryness, and dilation of capillaries. Symptoms that look similar do not always require the same care.
At our clinic, we check the condition and progress of the skin, and develop a practical plan that may include daily care, topical and oral medication, and device-based treatment.
Even with the same "redness", each person appears differently and the trigger is different.
Redness is not only rosacea, but multiple skin problems can show a similar appearance. The following are typical examples to organize at the time of the consultation.
Redness, dryness, and tingling are noticeable throughout the face. It may become unstable due to excessive washing or irritating treatment.
Things to see: Dry, irritating, cosmetics in use
Redness and fine peeling may be mixed in areas with sebaceous areas, such as between eyebrows, nose and around the mouth.
Points to see: Parts, peeling, sebum
There is persistent redness and flushing in the background, which may be accompanied by capillaries, pimples, pustules, irritation, etc.
Points to look at: persistent redness, flushing, blood vessels
It may suddenly get worse with the seasons, causing redness, dryness, and itching around the eyes and cheeks.
Things to see: seasonality, eye area, itching
After applying new cosmetics or sunscreen, small red bumps may appear per pore.
What to look for: New products and rashes per poreRedness can be strong when ultraviolet rays, temperature differences, friction, pollen, irritating skin care, drinking, and stress overlap with sensitive skin tendencies and constitution.
In rosacea, inflammation, impaired barrier function, and vasodilation may be involved and worsened. In addition, when acne, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, etc. overlap, it becomes difficult to distinguish the symptoms.
Redness can be a significant contributor to changes in skin structure and capillary status due to photo-aging of the dermis. At our clinic, we check not only the color of the surface, but also the inflammation and the foundation of the skin.
Direct English rendering of the Japanese text in the retained source image, in visual reading order (top to bottom and left to right within each row; Before/After panels and arrows remain in the image): Redness as a sign of change in the skin foundation. Redness may reflect photoaging or chronic inflammation in the dermis. UV exposure, friction, and aging can make capillaries dilate. The cross-section labels epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue and compares a normal capillary with a dilated capillary.
Direct English rendering of the Japanese text in the retained source image, in visual reading order (top to bottom and left to right within each row; Before/After panels and arrows remain in the image): Side-by-side comparison of young skin and aged skin. Upward arrows identify senescent cells; the aged-skin panel shows deterioration of the dermal environment compared with the young-skin panel.
The skin is mainly composed of the epidermis and dermis, the epidermis is a barrier that protects against external irritation and dryness, and the dermis is supported by collagen, elastin, capillaries, etc. to support firmness and healthy appearance.
Overlapping effects such as age, UV rays, friction, and chronic inflammation can disrupt turnover and barrier function, as well as reduce collagen and elastin in the dermis. When the dermis becomes thinner, the capillaries become transparent and easier to see, and redness and decreased firmness are one of the factors that are prominent.
When examining melasma and pigmentation, we check not only for color but also for redness and inflammation.
On red or inflamed skin, irritation may affect melanocytes and pigmentation may be more pronounced. Therefore, it is important to establish a policy that includes redness, dryness, and vascular reactions, rather than superimposing strong irritation on suspected melasma.
If redness and melasma are mixed, we will consider not only whitening and laser toning, but also a combination of skin care review, treatment for inflammation, and redness control.
Direct English rendering of the Japanese text in the retained source image, in visual reading order (top to bottom and left to right within each row; Before/After panels and arrows remain in the image): Why redness can worsen melasma: persistent redness or inflammation stimulates melanocytes → melanin increases → melasma and hyperpigmentation become more visible. The longer inflammation continues, the more likely pigment problems are to become established.
Skin revitalization aims to improve the underlying skin condition as well as visible concerns.
Direct English rendering of the Japanese text in the retained source image, in visual reading order (top to bottom and left to right within each row; Before/After panels and arrows remain in the image): The skin is the “soil,” and visible changes are the “fruit.” Skin-rejuvenation treatment treats the skin foundation as soil; brightness, firmness, smoothness, and fine texture are outcomes that grow from that foundation. The less-supportive soil conditions shown are dryness, nutrient deficiency, imbalance, and hard soil.
Check dryness, inflammation, sebum, barrier function, dermis condition and organize necessary treatments.
Direct English rendering of the Japanese text in the retained source image, in visual reading order (top to bottom and left to right within each row; Before/After panels and arrows remain in the image): Treatment is not completed with one method; combinations are considered. ADVATx laser, Mesona J, injectable treatment, and ALLTITE radiofrequency treatment may be combined according to skin condition and purpose to improve the skin foundation. The lower panel explains that ADVATx 1319 nm is used to stimulate the dermis and fibroblasts and is one option when considering skin quality, firmness, radiance, pores, and sebum balance.
Device-based treatments that create a controlled response and treatments that deliver necessary ingredients such as Mesona J will be considered according to the skin condition.
Check for similar or concomitant symptoms, such as rosacea, dermatitis, acne, telangiectasia, and melasma. Daily skin care and aggravating triggers also inform the treatment plan.
Review excessive cleansing, friction and potentially irritating cosmetics, and combine topical and oral medication if necessary. Proceed in stages to avoid destabilizing sensitive skin.
Options vary by the main concern: ADVATx for redness or vascular components, Mesona J when sensitivity or dryness coexists, and POTENZA when acne or pores overlap.
No single treatment is appropriate for every presentation. The plan reflects the overlap of inflammation strength, vascular components, dryness, sebum, acne and melasma.
* Indications, number of treatments, effects, and downtime vary by individual. Depending on the consultation, we may guide you to another treatment.
The 589 nm wavelength is absorbed by hemoglobin and is used for redness and visible superficial vessels. 1319nm is used for thermal action on sebaceous glands and dermis. It may be considered not only for redness, but also when sebum, pores, and skin texture overlap.
It is a treatment that does not use a needle and delivers selected ingredients according to the skin condition. It is an option when accompanied by sensitivity or dryness, or when considering a combination with other treatments such as lasers.

This is a microneedle RF treatment to be considered when redness, pores, and skin texture of acne and acne scars overlap. When rosacea inflammation is active, treatment should not be applied uniformly; candidacy depends on the skin condition and treatment goal.
Learn more about POTENZA PRIMEWe present cases treated with ADVATx and POTENZA, and the idea of treatment when redness, melasma, and acne scars overlap. The treatment details and course of treatment vary depending on the skin condition.
Device-based treatment is a self-pay treatment. After the consultation, we will propose the necessary treatment and number of times.
589 nm + 1319 nm / spot irradiation included
30,000 yen per time
589 nm/physician procedure
From 6,600 yen
Stimuli such as reduced barrier function, inflammation, dilation of capillaries, ultraviolet rays and friction may appear to overlap. There may be dermatitis and acne other than rosacea, so check the condition during consultation.
We check for visible vessels, persistent redness, flushing, dryness, irritation, papules, and pustules. Because rosacea and acne can look similar, treatment should not be intensified without assessment.
We review factors that may worsen symptoms, such as washing too much, rubbing too much, irritating cosmetics, ultraviolet rays, and sudden temperature changes. If necessary, we will consider topical medication, oral medication, and device-based treatment.
It depends on the cause of the redness, the intensity of the inflammation, the barrier function, the presence of melasma and acne. Calming active inflammation may take priority; ADVATx may be considered when appropriate.
Redness with vascular components, sensitivity and dryness, acne and pores, and other central concerns can change your options. Treatment is not necessarily limited to one method, but adjusts the order and combination according to the skin condition.
There may be a mixture of melasma and redness. Considering the possibility of worsening with irritation, we will consider a treatment policy that includes not only pigments but also inflammation and vascular reactions.
Facial redness can be caused not only by constitution, but also by overlapping inflammation, barrier function, capillaries, and daily irritation. In the consultation, we will organize the current skin condition and explain the necessary care and treatment in an easy-to-understand manner.
