Laser Treatment for Spider Veins on Nose

I also have the option of IPL, but my understanding is that Pulsed Dye would be a better option. Would appreciate comments regarding the two options. Thanks

Diode 532 works great on nose spider veins

Iridex laser is a diode 532 nm laser that improves the appearance of vascular and pigmented lesions. Patients see immediate results right after the treatment.

I think it gives much better results in much fewer treatment sessions and with greater safety than IPL

Laser treatment of broken blood vessels on the nose

Spider veins on the nose can be treated with several lasers, including the pulse dye laser.  These lasers target the blood vessels and vaporize them.  Some are resilient, and may require more than one treatment.
