15 years ago, I had fat injections in my nasolabial folds. The injection caused a few broken blood vessels. I have since tried IPL, YAG, Diode and V-Beam. Each practitioner has been confident in their ability to zap the veins easily.... but, they have always returned after a few days. 2 weeks ago I tried the Yellow Laser.
