Answer: Treating Red Capillaries on Face
As a laser specialist, I treat capillaries on the face with a variety of lasers depending on their appearance and type. There are several laser treatments, including PDL, Nd:YAG combination, IPL, and the CoolTouch Varia Laser that are effective in minimizing the appearance of red capillaries on the face.

Answer: Laser treatment for capillaries on the face Hey MJG There are a few options for treating small facial capillaries or telangiectasias. A Pulsed Dye laser, also called a V beam or V star, works great for capillaries and facial redness. Another great option is any KTP, such as the Excel V, which is a Nd:YAG from Cutera. Lastly if isolated or small, electrodessication or radio frequency can work well also. Good luck!

Answer: Facial Vein Treatments Hi MJG. There are two options we use when treating facial veins. The first is a long pulsed yag laser. We use the Sciton Profile, but there are other 1064 lasers that can help. KTP lasers can also do the job well. We would not recommend Pulsed dye lasers or IPL Pulsed dye lasers are best for general redness, but not traceable veins and IPL is generally underpowered for this application. You can see results for these treatments at the link below.
