Palomar ICON? Or V beam or BBL? Or another type of IPL machine (Limelight? Genesis?) (Photo)

Trish_Em
I'm a 46-year old female, very fair skin. I have had 4 IPLs (Palomar ICON), but my facial broken capillaries keep returning, even getting worse. The 4 treatments did not get rid of them. Might a different treatment (V beam? BBL?), or a different type of IPL (Genisis? Limelight?), help? Could it be that, once the original broken capillaries are eliminated, the problem spills over to the capillaries beside them? In photo, they are about twice as long as they were before the treatment.
