I agree with Dr. Oppenheim that you other options are the pulsed-dye laser (v-beam), KTP (q-switched 532/1064).  The YAG 1064 laser is also very good for larger vascular lesions.  Incidentally certain IPL devices are equipped with various filters and are more effective for vascular lesions.  Another factor is whomever is treating you should be versed in troubleshooting and tinkering with settings to give you the best results.  Choose your practitioner carefully.

Good luck.
