Answer: FotoFacial or Dermaplane for sensitive skin
While peels (even gentle peels like the Glytone Mandelic Enerpeel) will improve sun damage and aging skin, they will not address the broken capillaries on your cheeks. Considering the conditions you have listed, broken capillaries and sensitive skin, as well as sun damage, the most effective treatment with no downtime would be FotoFacial or Intense Pulsed Light. It treats the entire face, not only small spots or vessels, is a series of treatments which targets red (vessels) and brown (sun damage), and results in rejuvenation of the skin, creating a uniformity of color, texture and reduction of pores. It provides gradual, natural-looking improvement and offers an immediate return to routine activities. Best of all it results in long-lasting results.

Answer: Facial Capillary Treatment
Hi Evergreen. For facial veins and sun damage, we would not recommend peels or ablative (social downtime) lasers. Both will irritate the skin more. We would recommend a KTP or long pulsed yag (1064) laser for the small veins. The small veins can be traced and closed easily with very little or no irritation to the surrounding skin. 1-2 treatments is usually enough to remove the veins.
For sun damage, we would use a q-switched laser. 2-3 treatments usually does the trick and removes the sun damage permanently. This has no downtime, just darkening of the spots before they fall off. Good luck.

Answer: Sensative skin chemical peel/broken capillaries
Thank you for your question, for best results I would recommend an IPL treatment to address your capillaries as well as your sun damage, but as your capillaries do not sound like your main concern I would recommend trying a hydroquinone cream (lightning product) to help diminish the appearance of your sun damage. This should be delicate enough on your sensitive skin and since it is not a peel this product should not aggravate the area, however I would recommend consulting with your aesthetician or doctor before trying a new product. Be sure to wear SPF to protect against further sun damage and to assure you achieve the best results from the HQ product.

Answer: Broken Face Capillaries - There is Help!
Hi evergreen 2011
While chemical peels have many benefits, they unfortunately cannot get rid of broken capillaries. A vascular laser such as the VBeam would be needed for that. Since you mentioned that you are also interested in addressing uneven skin tone, a series of IPL PhotoFacials would also be a good choice since it would be able to improve redness, broken capillaries, sun spots and blotchiness of the skin as well as increase collagen formation and lead to overall better skin.
