Signature Redness Care · Mellow Dermatology (Yeongdeungpo)
If your skin flushes easily
and stays red far too long
The root cause of recurring facial redness is ‘dilated blood vessels.’ Left untreated, it can develop into a chronic vascular condition — which is why we introduce Mellow’s signature redness treatment, precisely addressing the cause itself with the V-Beam 595nm vascular laser.
Why It Returns
Redness is not a surface issue —
it’s a vascular one
A damaged skin barrier becomes sensitive to external triggers, and inflammatory mediators dilate the vessels even further. The more this vicious cycle repeats, the longer the redness lingers. That’s why the answer isn’t surface soothing, but treating the dilated vessels themselves.
Type 01 · Facial Redness
Cheeks and nose that flush easily
Cold wind, spicy food, alcohol, stress and exercise turn the cheeks and nose red with a burning sensation. And it takes longer and longer for the flush to settle.
Type 02 · Rosacea
Capillary dilation + inflammation
A chronic inflammatory condition in which dilated capillaries appear alongside acne-like inflammatory papules and pustules on the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. The weakened barrier makes the skin highly sensitive.
Type 03 · Post-acne Redness (PIE)
The redness left behind after acne
Redness that remains even after acne has healed. It’s caused by superficial vessel dilation and works through a different mechanism than brown pigmentation (PIH).
Core Technology
V-Beam 595nm —
only the red vessels, precisely
V-Beam is a pigment laser (PDL) that selectively targets only hemoglobin in the blood, the source of redness. It clears the vessels while protecting the surrounding healthy skin.
Selective Photothermolysis
Selective photothermolysis
The 595nm light is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin and converted into heat, coagulating the dilated vessel walls and narrowing the vessel lumen. It resolves the source of redness at the vascular level.
DCD Dynamic Cooling
DCD dynamic cooling
Just before each laser pulse, a cooling spray instantly chills the epidermis, reducing the risk of burns and pain while precisely targeting only the vessels within the dermis.
4-Step Protocol
From diagnosis to soothing, in four steps
Redness is a problem where the vessels and the barrier are intertwined. We design diagnosis → vascular laser → barrier recovery → soothing as a single, continuous flow.
Precise diagnosis
Imaging analysis assesses the severity of redness, the vessel distribution and the stage of progression to map out the scope of treatment.
Vascular laser
V-Beam 595nm is combined with Clarity II 1064nm to clear vessels layer by layer, from superficial to deep.
Barrier recovery
Needle RF (Secret) stimulates the dermis to regenerate collagen and strengthens the weakened skin barrier from within.
Soothing care
Cryocell cooling and LDM ultrasound calm the flushed skin and replenish moisture to support recovery.
Devices
From vessels to barrier —
a different device for every step
The device needed varies with the cause of the redness and its stage of progression. We combine the role of each device to address vessels, barrier and soothing together.
V-Beam · 595nm PDL
V-Beam
Vascular laser · CoreThe 595nm wavelength is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin, coagulating dilated vessel walls and narrowing the vessel lumen. DCD cooling protects the epidermis while targeting the root cause of facial redness and spider veins.
Clarity II · 755/1064nm
Clarity II
Deep vessels · PigmentWith dual Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, it addresses pigment and deep vascular lesions together. Paired with V-Beam, it clears superficial and deep vessels layer by layer.
Secret · Needle RF
Secret RF
Barrier recovery · RegenerationMicroneedles deliver radiofrequency into the dermis to induce collagen regeneration and strengthen the weakened skin barrier from within. It helps break the vicious cycle in which redness keeps recurring.
Cryocell · Sub-zero Cooling
Cryocell
Soothing · CoolingSub-zero cooling with microcurrent and soothing ampoules quickly calms the skin flushed after treatment and reduces irritation. It’s the finishing care that helps sensitized skin recover.
Dermashine · Water Shine Infusion
Dermashine
Moisture · BarrierIt evenly infuses moisture and growth factors to support recovery of the damaged barrier. By replenishing sensitive, dry, red-prone skin from within, it helps break the cycle of recurring redness.
Rosacea Stages
Rosacea, by stage of progression
Rosacea progresses in stages the longer it is left untreated. The intensity and combination of treatment depend on which stage you are at now.
| Stage | Key characteristics |
|---|---|
| Grade 1 | Transient redness and warmth — the skin flushes only when triggered, then settles. |
| Grade 2 | Fixed capillary dilation (spider veins) — the redness is persistently visible. |
| Grade 3 | Inflammatory papules and pustules — accompanied by red, acne-like swollen lesions. |
| Grade 4 | Hypertrophic changes — an advanced stage where the skin thickens and becomes bumpy. |
※ Treatment effects and responses may vary from person to person, and side effects may occur.

Expert Care
The redder the skin,
the more an ‘accurate diagnosis’ comes first
Dr. Kwon Hyung-il, Director · Board-certified Dermatologist
Facial redness and rosacea are not simply redness — they are chronic conditions in which the vessels and the barrier are intertwined. Trying to erase only the surface redness makes it easy for it to return.
When we first read the vessel distribution and stage of progression through precise imaging diagnosis, and design the vascular laser, barrier recovery and soothing as a single flow, the redness stops resurfacing.
★ Principles of Mellow’s signature redness care
- Confirm vessel distribution and stage of progression through precise imaging diagnosis
- Target the dilated vessels themselves, not just surface soothing
- Integrate vessel + barrier + soothing into one continuous flow
Before & After Care
Before and after treatment, just these few things
make all the difference in how redness recovers
After treatment, temporary redness, stinging and mild purpura (bruising) may occur, and usually settle within a few days. Avoid UV exposure, saunas and excessive heat, alcohol, and spicy or hot foods, and focus on moisturizing and soothing — so you can reduce the reaction and keep the results longer.
