It is far better to treat broken facial capillaries with an IPL laser than to use microdermabrasion which might actually worsen the situation. Good luck!
Treat facial capillaries with a laser, not microdermabrasion
Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Microdermabrasion for broken capillaries?
I went to the dermatologist today and he recomended microdermabrasion for me. It surprised me because I have broken capillaries and I thought that this was a contraindication for microdermabrasion. I asked him and he said that my broken capillaries were caused by sun exposure and that I had no risk to get more from a microdermabrasion. Still, I'm not convinced about this. What do you think?
