IPL for telangiectasias not likely to be successful in this case. Lasers are more successful and give more consistent results. IPL is intense pulse light, not considered a laser treatment.
The timing between sclerotherapy sessions in the same areas varies among treating vein specialists. In my practice, the time between sessions is at least 3 months, provided that the entire area was completely treated in the first session. This allows enough time for the bruising to resolve...
I agree with Dr. Mandy, find a laser treatment specialist using ALL the available lasers. This give you and the doctor options. for a great result.
