IPL is safe and effective for facial blood vessels

Intense Pulsed Light is a cousin of a laser and I feel it's the easiest way to get rid of facial vessels. It can effectively get rid of vessels around the nose, cheeks, and chin area. It usually takes 1-3 treatments. Afterwards, the skin can feel a little sunburned, and sometimes there is slight swelling for a day. Treatments are usually spaced about a week apart.

There are other lasers on the market that can have similar or slightly better results, but the IPL is so safe, and with minimal downtime, it's my choice for these problems.
