IPL vs Laser Genesis vs BBL Laser for Broken Capillaries

Hi, hope someone can help. I just paid $1500 for one treatment of Fraxel and I wanted it to get rid of my red broken capillaries and red in my cheeks and chin. It's not gone. My doc said it won't go away from Fraxel (wish I knew that earlier). WHAT is the best laser out there that will get rid of it?? I feel I'm spending too much money and not getting the results. PLEASE HELP :o( BBL???? IPL???? Laser Genesis ????
