I have a number of veins on my nose that are extremely thin (0.1mm or less), but are arranged in a way that makes up a long line, so that makes it pretty noticeable. They have been treated before and went from thicker and darker to more faded and thin, but I want them completely gone. Which laser does the best job targeting veins like that?

Thank you for your question. Often times with the larger caliber veins in the legs and around the nose the treatment will induce blood clotting in the veins. This is an entirely normal response and you should have an excellent response. It will take a few weeks to fully resorb.
I am sorry I just saw this question so its a lot late but Im sure you will need another treatment so here goes. I use the excel v and love the outcome. Some swell some don't. Cool compresses immediately after the laser help, NO SUN for 2 weeks before and after, after treatment more...
I think any OTC medication is fine but to follow your doctor's advice, Tylenol is probably definitely ok. The concern is that anti-inflammatory medications can lessen your final results. I believe that this is more theoretical than proven.
