I'm 36 and fair skinned with both freckles--which don't bother me--and broken capillaries--which really bother me. The aesthetician (at a plastic surgeon's office) said that she can’t get to the redness without also treating my brown spots. Is this true? Also, how much “downtime” should I expect? I have a Friday afternoon appointment and will need to be presentable by Monday. Is this realistic?

I think that 1 week of high grade compression is all that most people will tolerate in Florida, California and Texas. In colder climates, especially in winter months, we recommend stockings for 3 months and we have found that patients have better cosmetic outcomes with prolonged compression. ...
Two great lasers to treat veins on the nares are the KTP laser, a 532 nm laser or the 1064 nm Nd YAG laser.Alternative treatment modalities are RF energy or ohmic thermolysis, also known as thermocoagulation with VeinGogh or VeinWave.
Thank you for your question. For veins around the eyes, I recommend seeing an Opthamologist and have them evaluate your veins, and which ones are a good choice to remove, if at all. Some may not be a good choice so you will want to listen to their advice, and follow it. I hope this helps.
