IPL or VBeam for Broken Blood Vessels?

facetime1964
I have tiny broken blood vessels around my nose and moustache area. I am wondering what the pros and cons are of IPL and Vbeam. What is the realistic downtime with each laser and which is most effective for blood vessels? I had one vbeam treatment about a month and a half ago and although the vbeam did show pretty good results, I need another treatment or two. I read all this stuff about no time with vbeam but I had redness that definitely lasted about 3-4 weeks to fully subside.
