What Causes Broken Capillaries After Laser Treatment?

lola1
In the past I have had laser treatments for broken capillaries on my face. The first treatment I have been unresponsive. The second treatment is where I have problems. After the bruising and swelling subsides I am left with new broken capillaries. I have been treated by my regular doctor and a "cosmetic surgeon". Why is this happening? Could the settings be to high on the second treatment? In both situations the doctors were unwilling to help.
