I am 33 years old woman. I have sensitive fair skin. I consider having sciton micro laser peel (50 microns) treatment to reduce my pores, brown spots and some pits on my face.
Is it possible to get broken capillaries with micro laser peel (50 microns treatment). I have some visible capillaries on my face and I am so worried if this treatment is going to make them worse or cause more broken capillaries?
Please give me some information about it.

Sciton peel will not make broken cappilaries worse
An Er:Yag peel such as with the Sciton will not have any effect on broken capillaries (telangiectasia).

The only caveat is that the peel will take out brown spots that could be camouflaging some telangiectasia a bit.
If you would like to get rid of the telangiectasia, an IPL treatment or green laser...

IPL is best for broken capillaries-blood vessels on face
A 50 micron Microlaserpeel should not have an adverse effect on facial blood vessels and broken capillaries. However as a general rule, ablative laser resurfacing, which is what the microlaser peel is, can make broken blood vessels and capillaries on the face worse.
IPL or Photofacial treatments are effective at removing broken capillaies and blood vessels on the face and can be done in conjunction with your Microlaserpeel.
