Can SkinMedica TNS Essential serum and or HA5 cause increased facial telangiectasia?

February 9, 2018
Asked By:esilva4321 in Fort Wayne, Indiana

I have a history of facial Telangiectasia. Dr recommend the above serums to help with my acne scars and texture/redness/aging of my skin. The serums have worked well for overall skin health but I have noticed an increase in Telangiectasia. Can the ingredients in the products be contraindicated in people with Telangiectasia? Ie. The growth factors increase the occurrence of Telangiectasia or is it just coincidental. I am just scared I am causing more damage. Thank you for any help!
