Redness Botox explained

Redness Botox is a form of skin Botox used for facial flushing. Diluted toxin is placed in the skin rather than the muscle. It is an add-on option for flushing, not a cure for rosacea, and the research is still small.

How Redness Botox works

Many tiny injections, or a microneedle injector, place diluted toxin into the upper skin of the cheeks. The toxin is thought to calm nerve signals and chemicals that make small blood vessels widen during flushing. It does not remove visible broken capillaries, which respond better to vascular lasers.

Who Redness Botox is for

• Frequent flushing from heat, stress or alcohol
• Rosacea flushing alongside medical treatment
• People who want to add a calming step to laser treatments
• Redness with oily skin and large-looking pores
• Visitors who want a no-downtime option

Who should avoid Redness Botox

• Visible broken capillaries as the main concern (vascular lasers work better)
• Active rosacea flares with pustules, which need medical treatment first
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• People with myasthenia gravis or other nerve-muscle disorders
