I am interested in getting KTP laser for vascular lesions and lentigines. The esthetician said that topical anaesthetics weren't recommended pre-procedure because they constricted blood vessels. I thought that only the addition of epinephrine, like during invasive procedures, constricted blood vessels. Could you please clarify? Thank you.
