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

July 3, 2013
Asked By:pastelTP in East Rochester, NY

My face is covered with small red/ purple veins. They are most prominent on my nose and chin, though they cover my cheeks as well. I have received 2 Candela V-Beam treatments followed by 2 IPL treatments all roughly a little over a month apart. I have yet to see ANY results. I understand that treating this problem takes time, but I am reluctant to schedule more sessions. Should I continue with IPL treatments or is it best to switch back to the V-Beam? Are there any other options?
