I have telangiectasia, mostly concentrated (dark) on the bottom/sides of my nose and a little bit on my cheeks. I have heard conflicting information regarding the best solution to get rid of this. I have read here on Real Self a few doctors stating that PDL works best. Others have said VeinWave will do the trick quickly without as much pain as lasers. They REALLY bother me so I want to get rid of them. But cost and pain management are also of concern. Help!

Thank you for your question. Treatment time varies depending on the scar. Your provider should have a time frame for you. If not then consider consulting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a treatment plan.
There are many brands of bland moisturisers that do not contain an antibiotic. My preferred choices are QV, vaseline, aqueous cream, or paw paw ointment. I don't usually start sunscreen until day 5, as your skin can get irritated early on. All the bestDr Davin LimLaser Dermatologist
