Hi,

Cheek redness may have several differentials. Among these rosacea, photosensitivity, miliaria or sweat rash as well as allergic reactions may be considered.

What does your son have?

Laser treatment is usually effective after several courses. Response may also depend on what specific skin condition the laser therapy is directed to. For rosacea it may be directed towards minimizing flushing and telangiectasia ( visible blood vessels).For acne, it  may be used for softening scars .

Why was laser therapy indicated for your son?

Hi. What is your son's diagnosis? If he has acne or rosacea a course of oral antibiotics from his doctor may be effective.
Clinique have lauched a new range of products called Redness Solutions. Using their cleanser and moisturiser will reduce visable redness of the face. I also recommend Eucerin's Redness Relief cleanser and moisturiser, which is a bit less expensive.
