Broken capillaries around the nose and checks

by Susutu, Aug 29, 2007 11:50AM
Will laser skin treatments improve the appearance of broken capillaries on the face?  I have noticed that this is an increasing problem on my face and would like to know if there are any effective treatments for this.  There are many miracle treatments being touted but I would prefer to have this treated by a medical professional.  

I also suffer from rosacea however I haven't had any flare ups for years. My skin is fair and I have  freckles and am 50 something... Thanks!

laser or electro cautery or injection. laser is the least painful and most effective, the electrocautery is very old school and painful in my opinion. some places will try a form of sclerotherapy, but it is more effective for big vessels where the laser will tend to the small ones around the nose.

make sure that wherever you go the laser is operated by a real health professional and not someone they've trained. that happens time to time. also make sure they have done the treatment and had sucess several times before. you may want to ask for a topical numbing cream prior. the nose is a tender area and patients often end up flinching and getting little burns.
