A member asked:

Which type of skin laser could i use to get rid of broken capillaries?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

IPL: A pulsed light treatment is very effective in treating small broken capillaries in the face and it costs much less than a laser treatment.

1064 nm laser: We typically use either a 1064 laser or sclerotherapy for spider veins on the legs. On the face, we usually use the 1064 nm laser.
