Broken capillaries - laser for removal (2.5 months post surgery)

​The best treatments for capillary issues are vascular lasers such as pulsed dye laser, Excel V, Aerolase, Venus Versa IPL, BBL, Laser Genesis or Yellow laser. The settings are determined on a per case basis, so it is best to consult with an expert to determine what will work best for you. We often combine vascular lasers with non-ablative fractional lasers such as Clear + Brilliant or Venus Viva for better results. I would suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Hello, and thank you for your question. I would consult with your surgeon and ask them the appropriate time frame is to do an IPL treatment!

Hi! We suggest that you talk to your surgeon prior to having any laser treatments done. As soon as your surgeon clears you, you can begin laser treatments for the broken capillaries on your nose.

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.

Best,

Broken capillaries, or telangiectasias, can occur following surgery. I typically recommend 6 weeks prior to treatment with a laser, however this can vary. It is recommended, though, to discuss with your primary surgeon as their recommendations may differ.

In general, 2.5 months should not present any issues Light electrodessication has been used for over half century for treating so-called telangiectases (so-called 'broken capillaries") with gratifying results--long before the introduction of the heavily marketed, expensive, supposedly next-big-thing "bells and whistles" lasers, many of which are here-today-and-gone tomorrow for good reason. You might wish to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.

Sometimes after surgery new blood vessels are formed during the healing process. Using a vascular lasers are a precise and effective means of treating those vessels.
