Biggest concern is spider capillaries around my nose and chin. Is IPL or BBL better? What are the price ranges?

There are a few options for this. The best treatments are vascular lasers such as pulsed dye laser and Excel V.  IPL is good in the right hands, but has more risk of complications and doesn't have as long lasting results. Cost will vary, but I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question sghupp. I understand your concern.
IPL is a great treatment for facial rejuvenation. It can also work well to treat broken capillaries. There are many devices and this can get confusing. BBL is the Sciton brand IPL. This is the device we use and find the results to be outstanding. That being said, it is more important to find the right doctor. Look for experience, before and after pictures, and testimonials. Pricing should not be the primary issue; results should be. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

To treat small dilated vessels, there are several options. Vascular lasers are excellent and are fairly pricey. IPL works well also, and may be slightly less than laser. You can also treat focal areas with a low-level cautery such as with Thermo-Lo. That will be less expensive. With any of these treatments, you will often have to treat more than once but not always. 
Lastly-- BBL is just the name one manufacturer (Sciton) gave to its IPL device. These two terms refer to the same technology.
