In the skincare world, redness and visible blood vessels are a major concern for many. Whether it's the persistent erythema caused by rosacea or the dilated capillaries resulting from a damaged skin barrier, these superficial vascular problems not only affect facial aesthetics but can also be accompanied by sensitivity, stinging, and other discomforts, becoming stubborn problems that are difficult to solve with daily skincare. Traditional skincare methods often only alleviate surface symptoms, while Candela's professional phototherapy platform, with its precise targeting technology and clinically proven efficacy, offers a more thorough solution for those with visible blood vessels.

Rosacea is essentially the abnormal dilation and proliferation of superficial blood vessels in the skin, commonly seen in the central face and on both sides of the nose. Factors such as rosacea, long-term UV damage, hormone dependence, or naturally thin skin can all disrupt the normal contraction function of blood vessels, leading to persistent dilation and the formation of visible rosacea. Because the vascular lesions are located in the dermis, the effective ingredients in ordinary skincare products have difficulty penetrating to the deeper layers. Therefore, topical treatments alone are unlikely to achieve the closure and repair of blood vessels; precise phototherapy technology is necessary to directly target the root cause of the problem.
The core advantage of Candela's phototherapy technology is "selective photothermal action," which is also the key to its ability to precisely break down rosacea without damaging the surrounding skin. It uses a specific wavelength of laser light (precisely matched to the absorption peak of hemoglobin) to penetrate the skin's surface and reach the dermis. The laser energy is selectively absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, instantly converting into heat energy. This gently heats the abnormally dilated capillary walls, causing them to coagulate and close, thus preventing abnormal blood flow at its source and gradually fading or eliminating redness.
Compared to ordinary phototherapy devices, Candela has two irreplaceable advantages:
First, "high precision." Its intelligent targeting system accurately identifies superficial blood vessels with a diameter of 0.1-1.0mm, avoiding the stratum corneum and normal tissue, preventing side effects such as scabbing and pigmentation after treatment. Even redness in delicate areas like the sides of the nose and around the eyes can be precisely covered.
Second, "gentleness." The device's cooling system instantly lowers the skin's surface temperature during treatment, reducing stinging and burning sensations. After treatment, only slight redness appears, which subsides within 1-2 hours, requiring no recovery period and not affecting normal work or life.
Candela is not limited to treating telangiectasia (spider veins). Its clinical applications are broad, effectively addressing various vascular redness issues and catering to the needs of different individuals:
1. Primary Telangiectasia: Characterized by naturally thin skin and superficial blood vessels, prone to redness upon exposure to hot or cold stimuli or emotional fluctuations. Clear, thread-like red blood vessels are visible on the face, commonly found on the cheeks and forehead. Significant improvement is usually achieved within 1-3 treatment courses.
2. Redness Caused by Rosacea: Accompanied by persistent erythema, papules, and pustules. The central area of the face shows significant redness, with dilated blood vessels forming a network. Candela can close abnormal blood vessels while alleviating inflammation, improving redness and stinging discomfort.
3. Acquired Telangiectasia: Caused by prolonged UV exposure, improper skincare, or inappropriate use of hormones, leading to vasodilation. Red blood vessels often appear in patches or networks, accompanied by skin sensitivity and dryness. Treatment can simultaneously repair the damaged skin barrier, reducing recurring redness.
4. Other redness issues: such as high altitude redness, post-operative redness, and facial dullness caused by telangiectasia, can be addressed with precise phototherapy to lighten redness, brighten skin tone, and restore a smooth and radiant complexion.

IV. Post-Treatment Care
Although Candela phototherapy is gentle and has a short recovery period, post-treatment care directly affects the treatment effect and skin recovery. The core principles are "gentle soothing, strict sun protection, and avoidance of irritation." Specifically, the following points can be followed:
1. Immediate Care (1-3 days after treatment): After treatment, the skin is in a slightly sensitive period. Avoid rubbing or massaging the face, and do not wash your face with hot water; choose lukewarm water for gentle cleansing. You can use a doctor-recommended medical cooling compress or soothing serum to replenish skin moisture and relieve mild redness and dryness. Avoid using skincare products containing alcohol, fragrances, or acids.
2. Long-Term Care (within 1 month after treatment): Strictly adhere to sun protection. Ultraviolet rays can stimulate blood vessels to dilate again, aggravating recurring redness. It is recommended to choose gentle physical sun protection (such as a parasol or sun hat) in conjunction with medical sunscreen, avoiding excessive sun exposure. In terms of diet, avoid spicy, irritating, and excessively hot foods, reduce tobacco and alcohol intake, and avoid drastic emotional fluctuations and alternating hot and cold stimuli.
3. Treatment Course and Aftercare: Treatment for rosacea requires a gradual approach. Improvement is usually seen after just one treatment, with the body continuously removing and clearing the treated blood vessels over a short period. A single treatment only closes some of the abnormal blood vessels. Depending on the severity of the rosacea, 3-5 treatment courses are typically required, with each course spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Completing the entire course is essential for completely fading the rosacea, while also strengthening the skin barrier and reducing recurrence.
Many people have concerns about phototherapy for rosacea, worrying about side effects and recurrence. Here, based on Candela's clinical data, we answer some of the most common questions:
Question 1: Will the treatment be painful? Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
— There will be no significant pain, only a slight tingling sensation (similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin). The cooling system can further alleviate this. It is suitable for sensitive skin and thin skin, and will not worsen skin sensitivity after treatment.
Question 2: Will the treatment leave scars or pigmentation?
— No. Candela precisely targets blood vessels without damaging surrounding normal skin tissue. With strict post-treatment sun protection and care, problems such as scabbing, scarring, and pigmentation are almost nonexistent. Instead, it can improve redness and dullness, resulting in smoother skin texture.
Question 3: Will rosacea recur?
— With proper treatment and post-treatment care, the recurrence rate is extremely low. Candela closes abnormal blood vessels at their source, rather than providing temporary relief. Post-treatment care focuses on protecting the skin barrier and avoiding irritation to maintain long-term effectiveness. Excessive skincare and sun exposure after treatment may lead to new blood vessel dilation, not a "recurrence," but a new problem.
Question 4: Can I wear makeup normally after treatment?
— It is not recommended to wear makeup for 1-2 days after treatment to avoid irritating sensitive skin with cosmetic ingredients. After 3 days, you can choose gentle, non-irritating medical-grade makeup. Before applying makeup, soothe and moisturize the skin. When removing makeup, gently cleanse and avoid vigorous rubbing.
VI. Say Goodbye to "Redness" and Unlock a Radiant Complexion
The stubbornness of facial redness stems from vascular lesions in the dermis. Ordinary skincare products only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Candela phototherapy, with its advantages of precision, gentleness, and high efficiency, directly targets the root cause, closing blood vessels while simultaneously repairing the skin barrier, breaking the predicament of "redness being difficult to cure."
For those troubled by facial redness and rosacea, instead of spending a lot of time and money trying various soothing skincare products, choose the clinically proven professional solution—Candela phototherapy. No long waiting time, no frustration of "the more you treat, the redder it gets," just a few treatments can completely eliminate "redness," freeing you from sensitivity and stinging, giving you an even, radiant, and healthy complexion, allowing you to confidently showcase your natural beauty.
