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.
Answer: Facial capillaries - treatment options - Buffalo Vein Treatment Center There are many options and it depends on the size of the veins (capillaries << 1 mm) and includes Nd YAG laser or IPL (not as successful) and in some cases sclerotherapy. Expect to have repeat treatments until they are gone.

Answer: Sclerotherapy can be used on facial veins.
Facial veins can be treated by several modalities including laser, radio frequency, IPL and sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is possible if the vein is large enough to accommodate the needle. As with other treatments, sclerotherapy may require several sessions usually 3 to 4 weeks apart. The pros are that it covers a larger area per injection than laser, is less painful than laser and doesn't cause burning . The cons are that it can cause brownish discoloration of the skin. The cost varies with the physician, location of the veins and amount of veins treated.
