What is the best laser treatment to treat this with out a lot of down time? I had a laser treatment about 8 years ago that took care of the problem quite well with just a bit of pinkness after the procedure, I have moved away from that doctor and cannot remember what laser he used, but remember wearing eye protection and the room was totally dark. I also had fraxel a couple of years ago and and got no results but scabbing and a terrible redness.

Answer: Laser for broken capillaries and brown spots In general, IPL works well for redness and for brown spots. Many IPL machines are capable of tailoring the treatment toward different desired effects. In my practice, our IPL uses various filters to target redness reduction, acne reduction, skin rejuvenation (brown spots), etc. That being said, for scattered and small broken capillaries, I find that a 1064nm vascular reduction laser works best. This can be combined with IPL treatments targeting background redness and brown spots to achieve very nice improvements. Fractional CO2 laser treatments can work relatively well for pigment issues like brown spots, but I do not find them to be very effective for vascular issues like background redness or broken capillaries.Be sure to see a physician specializing in facial aesthetics for any facial laser or IPL treatments.Best,

Answer: Laser Treatment for Broken Capillaries and Brown Spots Several different lasers are great for angiomas - " red dots", telangiectasias, "broken capillaries" and brown age spots including KTP, pulse dye and others.I prefer the Diolite KTP and Sciton lasers to take care of these problems. Pre and post treatment of the skin with prescription creams is required to prevent the recurrence of the brown spots (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

Answer: IPL/Photoacials For Treatment of Broken Capillaries and Brown Spots On The Face If the veins and brown spots are on your face and you are fair-skinned(Fitzpatrick scale 1-3), IPL/ Photofacials are an excellent procedure to target both of your areas of concern in a single treatment. You can expect some redness and possibly some swelling depending upon the aggressiveness of the treatment. Typically, the brown spots will get noticeably darker and then flake off within 10-14 days. Be sure to be diligent with your sunscreen and avoid the sun. Also, incorporate a powerful antioxidant into your home care regimen to protect against further damage.
