What is the Best Way to Treat Stubborn Broken Blood Vessels/ Facial Spider Veins?

Facial vessels can be very stubborn and multiple treatments are often necessary especially if you suffer from Rosacea which will require  additional maintenance treatments.  However you should be seeing a difference in the number of vessels after receiving 4 treatments. Unfortunately a lot of the success of your treatment is dependent on the technician and what type of IPL you are receiving.  There is a steep learning curve when it comes to safe and effective treatments.  I would recommend that you discuss your lack of results with your provider.  If they can not give you some hope for better result in the future seek out a different provider and make sure you have a copy of your treatment sheets so that your new provider can see what has already been tried and adjust accordingly. In our office, our goal is to decrease the number of visible vessels 40-50% with each treatment provided.  Photos are taken each visit and feed back is requested to determine if the patient was able to see a difference, if there was any prolonged healing and if any of the health history has changed since last visit.  Also you need to do your part to help.  Avoid unprotected sun exposure.  If you have had an increase in tan/color from sun exposure we either have to postpone treatment or decrease the energy used. I hope that this information helps and gives you hope to get outstanding results in the future.
