Will Sciton Micro Laser Peel Cause More Broken Capillaries?

A Microlaser peel will not make the visible capillaries on your face worse.  It will also not make them better.

I rarely treat my patients with a single modality on the Sciton laser platform.  If you have prominent vessels on your face then you would receive BBL/IPL prior to your Microlaser peel so that you would obtain the optimal result.  If you had acne scarring or deep wrinkles of the upper lip than you would receive a deep profractional or Contour TRL treatment.  The best results are achieved by targeting the treatment to the problem you would like to improve rather than using a single modality to try to treat everything.

 

An Er:Yag peel such as with the Sciton will not have any effect on broken capillaries (telangiectasia).  On occasion some telangiectasia that are very superficial can bleed during an Er:Yag peel but you typically  would not see that until you got to 100 or more microns.  The only caveat is that the peel will take out brown spots that could be camouflaging some telangiectasia a bit.

If you would like to get rid of the telangiectasia, an IPL treatment or green laser (like the Aura) would do a very nice job.
