Will Lumenis CO2 laser cause more broken capillaries if I seem to get them easily lately? (Photo)

April 8, 2016
Asked By:dmcdmc in Glenwood Springs, CO

I am scheduled to get Lumenis deep CO2 laser resurfacing and I am worried this could cause broken capillaries. Over the past couple years I've developed several on my face. I also have a lot of redness on my left cheek which has gotten more pronounced. I really want to do the procedure and hope to hear that I should not be concerned. Please advise.
