Microneedling vs IPL for small broken capillaries on my chest? (Photo)

March 12, 2023
Asked By:1989kr in Honolulu, Hawaii

Should I get microneedling or IPL for these broken blood vessels? I have a small patch of red broken capillaries, dead center of my chest, about the size of a quarter. Its from a bad sunburn over 10 years ago. I've read so many reviews from people who got laser treatments and they say they got horribly burned from them, and the treatment providers don't take responsibility but just blame the patient. Is this something I should be concerned about? I am a bit afraid of lasers for that reason. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
