What does the Chronic Redness Facial Treatment do?
At Cheshire Lasers, we provide a tailored facial treatment to address red inflamed skin. Once we have treated your skin once or twice, we can slowly increase the potency of the treatment according to your skin’s reaction and can perform a more substantial resurfacing treatment rather than our gentle facial.
Whichever treatment we use our aim is to:
- Reduce redness
- Reduce inflammation
- Increase cellular turnover
- Improve collagen
- Strengthen the capillary walls
- Smooth skin texture
- Clearer, brighter skin
What does the CR Facial Treatment involve?
The CR treatment is like a regular facial, except the ingredients target chronic redness.
The treatment takes about 50 minutes and is a relaxing experience like any other facial. However, it also includes a gentle resurfacing step, which can cause slight stinging tingling for a few minutes. Despite the slight irritation during treatment, this step works from within to improve red skin and rarely causes any visible peeling or irritation after treatment.

How do I arrange a Chronic Redness Facial?
Arrange a skin assessment consultation with one of our Aestheticians. They will assess your skin and advise if your redness suits this facial treatment.
If you are suitable, they will give you some products to try on your skin and schedule your first treatment.
They will also recommend you use some home care products for the best results.

What are the CR Redness Facial and Resurfacing Treatment Steps
Step 1: Cleanse using EXFO and GEL cleanse
This combination cleansing thoroughly removes impurities without disturbing the skin’s natural moisture balance.
Step 2: Facial massage/cleanse using PURE rosehip oil.
The oil benefits all skin types of red skin (even oily), providing fatty acids and antioxidants. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and prevents water loss.
Step 3: Degrease the skin using SKIN primer. This will guarantee optimum penetration of other products.
Step 4: (OPTIONAL) LED light therapy for 25 minutes. Red, blue and Infrared light help to improve sensitive and problematic skin by normalising unbalanced skin, reducing inflammation and swelling, and purifying without irritation.
Step 5: Gentle exfoliation/resurfacing skin using SP complex or CR resurfacing treatments. These help activate the skin’s regeneration response and reduce redness.
Step 6: SOS repair mask. This restores the skin’s natural barrier function and provides soothing, repairing and anti-oxidant properties to the skin.
Step 7: Facial Massage
Step 8: POST recovery cream applied for maximum hydration. Provides excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Soothes reddened or irritated skin.
Step 9: SPF 50+ provides UV protection
