Tags: male, blue veins, broken capillaries, options
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?
