Pulse Dyed Laser or ND:YAG Laser: which is best for Asian skin?

December 12, 2021
Asked By:Tasteful278108 in England, United Kingdom

Which one is better for South Asian skin (skin type IV-V)? I have thread veins around my eyes and nose which I want to get rid of but I've seen mixed reviews on both these procedures. I saw that Pulse Dyed Laser can cause these circular bruises and some people heal within 2 weeks while others can almost take a month! While ND:YAG can also leave bruises. Which one would you recommend for brown Asian skin? Thank you to the doctors who'll answer this.
