Is Yag laser effective for tiny red veins all over nose? (Photo)

I have been performing radio wave diathermy for over thirty years for treating telangiectasias ("broken blood vessels") of the face and nose. Unlike so many of the expensive, light and energy-based gizmos out there, diathermy has a long track record for both safety and efficacy. The new devices are backed far more by heavy marketing hype and social media buzz than any hard science. Make sure to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. And, one more piece of advice. Don't go into any consultation asking for any particular gizmo treatment, since, to your later disappointment and frustration, and financial loss, you may just get what you ask for. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question! At our practice we use Excel V+ in regard to facial telangiectasia. This laser is effective for treating red facial veins with diffuse redness. A few treatments may be necessary for removal at 8–12 week intervals.
