Is VBeam the most effective laser to treat my broken capillaries caused by YAG laser/IPL? (Photo)

Question

I had several blue veins around both eyes and was treated with the YAG laser. During the visit, I was also treated with IPL for melasma on the upper cheek/eye area. I developed broken capillaries afterwards and did not have any luck treating them with YAG or IPL. I just saw a dermatologist and she thinks I can get rid of them with the Vbeam laser but it might make the melasma worse. Is this the best option?

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.
