Do you experience discomforting facial redness? If so, there are a few promising cures that you can think about trying. These possible solutions range from ointments you put on your skin and oral medicine to psychological training and surgery.
Before you start in deciding which solution you should try, you should carefully consider different factors. You need to determine if you are serious about getting rid of excessive facial blushing. You should also be aware of the side effects that might take place, most especially if you will choose oral medications or surgery.
Meanwhile, psychological conditioning is the least invasive of all of the possible solutions. However, this option could be very costly. But if you are serious on getting rid of excessive facial blushing, you can consult an expert about this solution.
One solution that you can try is called the Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). This process is mainly aimed to target the most basic functions of the brain. We experience things through our set of senses, and the brain is the crucial part of the body responsible for our stimuli. The stimuli dictate our reaction on certain things. Through NLP, you can train your brain to respond differently in cases when you are supposed to blush. This is said to be more effective if combined with the process of hypnosis. Any form of fears of experiencing the attack of excessive blushing to happen can be address through NLP. The body can also be reconditioned to respond in a manner that is favorable on your part.
There are also various pills and medications that can be used to reduce facial blushing. Each of them should be discussed first with a physician since you need to identify the side effects. You also need to know if you are allergic to a certain kind of medical ingredient.
Beta blocker medicines are the most commonly used medicines for the cure of facial blushing which provides an individual with the immunity to face sudden events. Basically it prevents some of the various actions that are performed by the hormones when events occur all of a sudden, and causes the facial blushing.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, are another common medication used to manage facial reddening. These kinds of medicines are really used most of the time as antidepressants for managing depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. With SSRIs, a person's brain uses serotonin more effectively, which aids them in handling stress hormones which can cause their depression and anxiety.
The said medications can help in handling stressful situations that also reduce excessive facial blushing. However, while these medicines may be effective enough, you should also look into the possible side effects that you need to deal with. You can ask your physician about this.
A topical solution to facial blushing is to apply hemorrhoid cream to the affected areas of your skin. By contracting the blood vessels, hemorrhoid cream can be an effective solution to reducing redness in the cheeks.
In case none of the enumerated solutions worked for you, you have another option which is through surgery. However, you must understand that this one should be for serious cases only. You should carefully think about this decision since it may pose different side effects, aside from the fact that this is very costly. You physicians must make sure that no other solution is left to address your excessive facial blushing. The physician must also give the necessary support before, during, and after the surgical procedure. The surgery is most commonly called Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy. In this process, a camera is used to view the sympathetic nerve. The said nerve would be burned or pinched out. This procedure is often used to treat a person's excessive sweating on the palms. But this has been proven to work for facial blushing as well.
So rather than going for these complicated surgeries you might consider going for natural exercises such as yoga, walk or some therapies which are easily available with your physicians, books and even the internet. The recommendation to these natural exercises is due to the factor that they don't have any side effects associated with them.
