Pinkness, Redness and Spider Veins

For diffuse pinkness or redness on the face, especially with no distinct vessels, I think a series (3-5) of IPL treatments on the face would be great. For the spider veins on the shoulders and back (difficult to say for sure without seeing you but...) you could use Nd:YAG laser, Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL), KTP laser or IPL. Always best to get a face to face consult for the best options but know there are a number of options available to you. more

Fortunately, there are several lasers and light-based devices that can treat spider veins or broken capillaries. Among these are Pulsed dye lasers (PDL) which may require 2-3 treatments one month apart. For more involved areas with diffuse redness, intense pulsed light devices (IPL) are often more helpful because they tend to be able to treat a larger area more rapidly, but may also require 3-4 treatments. Another option for the treatment of pinkness and redness on the cheeks and nose... more
