Redness, Acne & Rosacea in Greenwood, SC

Understanding Redness, Rosacea & Acne

...Because Not all Inflamation is the Same

At Integrated Vision & Aesthetics, we take a diagnostic-first approach to skin inflammation. Redness, rosacea, and acne may look similar on the surface, but each has a distinct root cause — vascular, inflammatory, or bacterial. By analyzing the skin’s tone, vessels, oil glands, and barrier health with advanced imaging and assessment, our team customizes the right combination of treatments for long-term clarity and calm, not just short-term cover-ups.

What's the Difference?

Distinguishing between simple facial redness or flushing and the earliest stages of rosacea is still somewhat gray. Many experts now view them as points along the same continuum rather than entirely separate problems. While some people experience temporary flushing without lasting change, others show subtle vascular and inflammatory activity that can evolve into chronic rosacea over time.

Because these early signs often overlap, most dermatology and laser specialists agree it’s best not to wait. Beginning a gentle, barrier-repair skincare regimen and introducing vascular light therapy such as Optilight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) can calm over-reactive vessels, reduce inflammation, and may help prevent the redness from becoming permanent. In short—treating early is safer and far more effective than trying to reverse years of vascular change later.

Where does Acne come in?

The term acne now refers only to traditional acne vulgaris—the condition caused by clogged pores, excess oil, and bacterial overgrowth. Acne can be a problem at any age., on the other hand, can produce pimple-like bumps that resemble acne, but they form for entirely different reasons. These rosacea pustules are driven by inflammation and vascular reactivity, not by blocked pores or oil glands. In other words, rosacea can look like acne on the surface, but it’s not true acne underneath.
