Hello I developed a very small broken capillary after using a steroid product on my upper lid. It's very small. I don't know if I will go away, I just noticed it after using steroid tape for one day so I stopped using the steroid. I wanted to know can I use cutera excel v or another laser for this one small broken capillary if it doesn't go away? It's on upper lid.
