Banish Redness and Uneven Skin Tone with a Photofacial

Posted on August 6, 2025

If you struggle with constant redness, blotchy patches, or uneven skin tone, you’re not alone. Many people deal with these issues due to rosacea, sun damage, or broken capillaries, and no amount of makeup can truly conceal them. That’s where a photofacial comes in. At DWH Health and Med Spa, we offer advanced IPL photofacial treatments in Richmond VA designed to target and calm redness, revealing a clearer, more even complexion.

Why Redness Happens

Persistent redness can stem from a variety of causes:

• Rosacea: A chronic skin condition that causes flushing and visible blood vessels
• Sun exposure: UV damage can break down skin’s support structure and create uneven pigmentation
• Broken capillaries: Small blood vessels near the skin’s surface that become visible over time
• Post-inflammatory marks: Redness left behind from acne or irritation

Not only can redness be frustrating, but it can also make skin look older, more tired, and less smooth overall.

How a Photofacial Targets Redness

A photofacial uses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to penetrate the skin and selectively target redness and discoloration. The light energy is absorbed by pigment and hemoglobin in the skin, helping to break down unwanted pigmentation and constrict dilated blood vessels. Throughout several treatments, redness diminishes and your skin tone becomes noticeably more even.

Benefits Beyond Redness

While redness reduction is one of the standout benefits of a photofacial, you may also notice improvements in other areas:

• Smoother skin texture
• Reduced appearance of sun spots or freckles
• Brighter, healthier-looking skin
• Subtle softening of fine lines

Many clients choose to pair their photofacial with other facials for hydration or exfoliation, which can enhance and maintain results.
