Laser on Upper Lip for Fine Red Vein, Is it Possible to Receive Nerve Trauma?
following on I am worried that my surgeon may have had the setting too high when he did the treatment on my red vein on my upper lip as it felt too powerful. He then treated the sides of my nose which were fine in comparison. If he did have the setting too high for my upper lip, and the fact i have an inplant in my upper lip, could the nerves have been too close to the suffice of my skin and therefore could i have received nerve trauma which then resulted in trigenial neuralgia?

Nerve damage with laser treatment
It is extremely unlikely that you may have sustained any type of nerve damage with laser treatment for broken superficial capillaries. The reason you upper lip felt more sensitive during the treatment is because the skin is typically thinner in that area and therefore treatment tends to be more uncomfortable. As long as you do not have any residual burn marks or wounds post treatment, any discomfort you had during or right post treatment will resolve.
