Worried About Broken Capillaries After Fraxel?

I have never seen telangiectases, or facial capillary blood vessels, form after Fraxel laser resurfacing. If someone has a rare complication of a cold sore (fever blister) scabbing reaction after Fraxel, then there can be more blood vessels in the skin that create redness for some time afterwards, just as that which happens with cold sores without laser rejuvenation. Fraxel laser resurfacing is very safe and the complication of scabbing, erosions, raw wounds and scarring are extremely rare, but if any of these complications occur, then new blood vessels can occur. Sometimes, as sunspots that are brown, improve after the Fraxel, then underlying capillaries which were present prelaser, could become more obvious. These vessles can be treated well, usually, with a series of V-beam laser treatments.

That is part of the healing phase after Fraxel they should disappear fairly quickly.
