My Children Have Broken Capillaries on Their Faces & my Daughter Also Has Cysts on Her Eyelid?

bizmomOct 14, 2012

We've been blessed with three beautiful children. Two of our children 5yrs and 3yrs have broken capillaries on their cheeks. Our 5 yr old also has eczema, keratosis pilaris, hives, warts and cysts. As a a baby she suffered from ptosis. Two of them are suffering with molluscum contagiosum at the moment. We're a very clean family with no pets! Our 5 yr old is currently being picked on for broken capillaries. Is there anything that can be done? I can see where this may lead to low self esteem. Thanks

Sclerotherapy gets rid of spider and small varicose veins easily for $450/session and is not painful but does usually take 3-4 sessions at a month to 6 wks apart. Expect to wear support hose for a few days after each session and enjoy the new great looking legs when the veins are gone....

Thank you for your question. Your options would include trying a series of the Vbeam, or trying the Cutera YAG, which is a good choice. However, there is higher risk of scarring with the YAG as high energies are needed, but often 1 treatment will resolve the lesion for small venous lakes. ...
