I believe an IPL laser was used.did not have many and they were not extensive but my nose and upper cheek area were treated. On my upper cheek area the R.N. said she had to cauterize the vein but the redness etc. would go away. Today Sunday my face looks like it has new broken capillaries and is still quite red. How long do I wait before I can have this looked at or fixed? The other areas of my face are still a bit pink but capillaries were fixed and look great.
