Best Solution for Sun Spots and Face Telangiectasias?
I would like to get rid of the brownish spots on my skin (and the telangiectasias and fine lines too, if possible) without it taking too long . I tried IPL but it didn't do much. I don't mind having some down time. What would be the best option? Thanks!

Facial Telangiectasia and Red Spots
I have had the best success treating difficult cases of telangiectasia and red spots with a combination of IPL and ND:YAG laser treatments. I use the Cutera Limelight and Laser Genesis Lasers. If these conditions do not resolve with IPL treatments alone, then the addition of a laser is often successful. It is often amazing how fresh and clean skin appears after the combination of these treatments.

A Photorejuvenation package is your best solution and really works!!
To treat facial wrinkles, broken capillaries and age spots or discolorations of the skin you need a combination of treatments. We offer what is called a Photorejuvenation package, consisting of 5 sessions with each session 2-4 weeks apart but can vary more if needed.
Each session you get a Vibraderm microdermabrasion, an IPL Prolite II treatment for broken capillaries and age spots, and a chemical peel for wrinkles and discolorations of the skin. You get all 3 at the same visit each time...

Fraxel Dual Re:Store great for brown spots
IPL usually works very well for lentigines (brown spots from the sun/age) and telangiectasias (small blood vessels on the face). Another great option is the Fraxel Dual Re:Store, which is highly effective in treating brown spots on the face. A series of treatments is needed for the best results. It's a fractionated laser, so there is minimal downtime with the treatments. The iridex laser works well to target stubborn vessels that don't respond to IPL. ...

Several options
Usually IPL works very well for sunspots. Also certain skin care lines that incorporate hydroquinone and retin-A can work very well.. Telangiectasias can be treated with several different lasers. IPL can help with some redness, and I have a clearscan laser which targets hemoglobin and specifically treats telangiectasias or spider veins.
