Pulsed dye laser (V beam) VS intense pulsed light (IPL)??? (photos)

December 17, 2015
Asked By:juliasawchuk in Santa Clarita, CA

My dermatologist recommended I get V beam for the visible veins on my face. I am 22 y/o, but have very thin/fair skin. Above having visible veins, I also have dark under eye circles and marks on my cheeks from acne. My acne is small hard bumps on cheeks and forehead which prevent my skin from feeling and looking smooth, even with foundation (hard sebum filled comedones). I am debating getting V beam or IPL to diminish visible veins (and maybe under eye circles) and the acne/acne marks?
