I'm looking to remove this broken capillary on my face. My dermatologist suggested electrocautery but I was reading this can leave a pit scar. What is the best method for removing these?
Answer: Choosing between different varicose vein and spider vein treatments It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments.

Answer: Broken Blood Vessel My recommendation would be to get an IPL treatment or a VeinWave treatment. IPL will help with other skin issues like sun damage, poor size, redness, along with the broken capillaries, while Veinwave is a more specific treatment and will just help to improve the broken capillaries.

Answer: Facial Vein Treatment There are a few excellent options for treating facial veins. One of them is called veinwave. It uses a tiny needle to deliver electrical energy to the vein. Another, is Intense Pulsed Light or IPL. IPL uses a series of different wavelengths of light to constrict and close facial veins. Lastly, the ND:YAG laser is also a great choice. I make my patient recommendations on these options after examining them. If there is general redness in the area, rosacea, I recommend the IPL first. If there are discrete veins, the veinwave or ND:YAG laser.
