Can a radio-frequency treatment performed on the face remove redness, bruises or broken capillaries as well?

Question

Kristin M. Baird, MD · Answer

Radiofrequency treatments of the face can be beneficial for tightening skin of the face, however these treatments do not address redness and visible capillaries of the face.  Vascular lasers such as pulsed dye and Excel 532 KTP are the most effective treatment for redness and vessels on the face. In addition to lasers a good skin care regimen including sun protection is very important. Please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in laser treatments. Best wishes.

Unwanted blood vessels are treated with pulsed dye lasers.  The radiofrequency devices are typically used for soft tissue augmentation.

There is not one technology that will best take care of all of these issues. However, combination therapy of Q switched laser, long pulse dye laser, micro RF needle treatments will achieve most of your goals. An in person examination is necessary. Dr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
