After Moh surgery for BCC with flap, I got loads of spider veins on my nose, where I had the surgery. How soon after surgery can I treat the veins. Plus which is better IPL or Veinwave or Iridex 940 etc? Thanks.
Answer: How soon after moh surgery should you wait to treat spider veins on nose and the method Thank you moh2014 for your question. Based on your history, photo, and without a physical examination, I would suggest that you can undergo laser procedure to the nose 6-8 weeks after your moh procedure. This will allow the nose time to heal from the procedure. As far as the laser of choice, this is somewhat surgeon dependent. I have had very good results on different patients with all of the lasers that you have mentioned. I would go to a surgeon that is comfortable treating these veins with the appropriate laser. If you have any questions feel free to contact my office. Good luck. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, M.D.

Answer: Scar and Vessels on Nose For this i would use a combination of pulsed dye laser or Excel V (which also helps scars and vessels) with fraxel (helps scars and increases collagen). I suggest going to a laser expert for this. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Scars and vessels on the nose after resection of basal cell carcinoma with local flap reconstruction Laser would be a great option but you should wait at least six months since you had a local flap reconstruction after resection of the basal cell carcinoma to allow for optimal healing to occur and 'inflammation' from scar revision to be complete. The body reconstructs and rebuild scars internally with collagen 'remodeling' for 6 months after surgery, injury, cuts ...

Answer: Laser treatment for spider veins on nose I use the pulsed dye laser routinely to reduce redness and spider veins within scars. The exact time to treat should be determined by your doctor but I don't believe that it's necessary to wait six months. I like the Iridex 940 laser but it works better for red purple spider veins than for bright red ones. My go-to laser for scars after surgery is the pulsed dye laser.

Answer: Would wait to treat nasal veins. Nasal veins can be treated by many methods very well including laser, IPl, micro needle radio frequency and sometimes even sclerotherapy. The method used depends on the kinds of nasal veins and the experience of the treating physician. Since you have had a flap closure, I would prefer to wait to at lease the 6 months post before treating those veins.
