Lasers for broken blood vessels, or something else? (Photos)

Asked By:jennrb in New York, New York

Hello, I have some broken blood vessels on my chin from squeezing an acne cyst 20+ years ago. I'm nervous about lasers, but I'm ready for them to go. I don't have definitive veins showing, but it's more of a spatter of blood. I'm not sure what you call it, but you can hopefully see from the photos. From what I've read, it seems like Excel V or a pulsed dye laser like Vbeam would work best and reduce bruising or burning. Can you offer any advice on which would be better? Thank you!
