Can Broken Capillaries on the Face Be Treated with Sclerotherapy Instead on Laser? What Are the Pros/cons?

birdland
I'm East Indian. I was wondering if broken capillaries on the face can be treated by sclerotherapy instead of laser? I've read too many horrible stories on real self about laser and since I'm a person of color with very sensitive skin I'd like to stay away from laser. What are the pros/cons, costs, things I should know? Many thanks.
