I have very fair skin. Think Irish.
I also have a number of burst capillaries close to my skin's surface on my face. A couple around my lip line, one or two on my cheeks, the crease from my nose to the corner of my mouth, and a couple on the bridge of my nose.
For the most part they don't bother me, and I cover them with makeup when I go out anyway.
But in time I'd like to reduce them if I can.
Can you give me your thoughts, opinions and experiences of IPL of laser treatment for this kind of thing? I'd really appreciate your input.

Thanks girls! Xxx

Both laser and IPL work very well for distended capillaries. Currently as a laser tech, I work with an IPL device and find it works great for distended capillaries. I find LASER to works very well on deeper vascularities such as spider veins. keep in mind it will take sometimes 3-6 treatments to start and is only a temporary solution since there will mist likely be feeder veins and blood circulation to the area. maintenance is usually 1-3 treatments every 1-2 years.
