What's the best treatment for broken facial capillaries?
Answered by admin
Question:
What’s the best treatment for broken facial capillaries? I’ve heard of electrocautery, IPL, and lasers. What do you typically recommend?
Answer:
Facial capillaries are small well-defined red blood vessels on the face. 20 years ago these were most often treated with a burning technique called electrocautery. Although this technique could be effective, the burn often left small scars on the skin. IPL treatment can be highly effective for treating facial capillaries. However, the large aiming beam of most of these devices means that a larger area of skin than necessary is being treated. Because laser beams can be focused down to the very small size of these vessels, lasers are usually our treatment of choice for facial capillaries.
