What are the side effect of Radiofrequency (RF)/IPL (pulse Light) on nose (bridge and Dorsal )? How safe it is?

Question

I have a over 2 years old pink scar on my nose bridge to Dorsal. I was told it is telangiectasia and that RadioFrequency/IPL (Pulsed Light) Radiofrequency (RF) will help. How dangerous is this? What are the side effects? Pulse dye laser and BBl has not helped. Is RadioFrequency/IPL (Pulsed Light) Radiofrequency (RF) safe? Are there other options?

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

Telangiectasia are small, visible vessels that appear on the skin’s surface. They are best addressed using a vascular laser like the Vbeam or IPL. I would encourage you to schedule an appointment with a board-certified dermatologist who can give you a definitive diagnosis and create a treatment plan based on that. Both of these treatments are safe and highly effective when used by an experienced provider.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Telangiectasias are tiny blood vessels that are usually best treated using vascular laser like VBeam or Excel. You may need more than one treatment session for optimal results. I would not expect RF to help with telangiectasias. IPL may help.
