Lower Eyelids Broken Capillaries/Purple Vein/Blue Vein I began using Obagi 2,4 and 5 (with Refissa .05) and Clarisonic on lowest setting. Since use, (I'm male) broken capillaries have appeared on my lower eyelids, nose (top and side). On lower eyelids, purple vein branch. On right lower - a blue vertical vein near eye socket. Gentle pressure on Clarisonic. How do I treat? What's causing them? Do I seek the dr. with the most lasers available? I want the best clinician with most experience to avoid iatrogenic effect. I may have delicate skin?

A: Blood vessels/capillaries on Face

This is quite common. It may be due to several reasons. Blood vessels may become more noticable, may newly develop and may become more prominent with skin care. Fortunately, these can be treated with lasers. There are many lasers used for this. Your dermatologist or plastic surgeon should be able to guide you in the right direction. Either they will have experience in treating this or they may refer you to someone who does. With the right kind of laser in the right hands, results are great. I use a VariLite laser made by Iridex but there are many out there that work very well.

Hosting an Event 4 Days After Obagi Blue Peel: is This a Silly Idea?

Is the Obagi Blue Peel Worth the Cost of the Anesthesia? I am 42 years old and my plastic surgeon has recommended the Obagi Blue Peel for the lines beginning to form on my face & my enlarging pores. He says it is extremely painful and it must be done under anesthesia. He has tried local sedation in-office, but the patients experience very much discomfort. I will have to pay $500 on top of all of the other expenses (use of surgery suite, doctor's fee, etc.). I need to know if this is going to be worth all of the trouble.

A: Obagi blue peel pain can depend on concentration and coats

In my experience most blue peels can be performed with no sedation or oral sedation however it depends on 3 things. TCA concentration, how many coats are applied and patient tolerance. If a patient needs a higher concentration and more coats, sedation will certainly be more comfortable for you.
