IPL and Desonide On Face, Resulting in Broken Capillaries.

I would recommend that you see a physician who is skilled in using IPL laser.  A test spot may be done prior to the full treatment to see how your skin will react.

Desonide and other topical steroids if used chronically can cause telangiectases or broken capillaries to develop on the skin; thankfully there are now non-cortisone options for eczema and itching of skin, best to speak with your dermatologist about this. As for IPL, this would be a safe and effective option following your chronic use of desonide on your face. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Hi there,

Yes, it is safe to get IPL treatments for treatment of broken capillaries secondary to Desonide Cream use.  For your first treatment session, it may be best to start with a test spot or treatment with a lower setting.  VBeam is also another great option for the treatment of broken capillaries.  VBeam is the gold standard treatment for treatment of vascular spots such as broken capillaries.

Hope this helps!

I skilled physician should be able to do a great job removing telangiectasia caused by too much Desonide use.
