Yes, certain lasers and light-based systems can effectively treat broken facial vessels or telangiectasias. Pulsed-dye and KTP are the most efficient laser systems or wavelengths that are used for the treatment of vascular lesions. Certain pulsed-light systems may also be effective at treating broken vessels, but are not regarded as efficient or selective as the laser. Multiple treatments may be necessary to completely clear or eliminate the vessel with these modalities. There is a better alternative treatment available now though for the treatment of those broken and defined linear vessels....it is a process known as Ohmic Thermolysis utilized exclusively with VeinGogh. VeinGogh is highly selective as the pulsed-electrical energy specifically treats or "collapses" the vessel walls without the "interference" of other chromophores such as melanin and water. This allows Vein Gogh to be used very safely on tan and darker skin types, unlike the competitive laser technologies. Generally, facial vessels can be eliminated in one treatment with very little to no post-operative down-time. While VeinGogh treatments are by no means "pain-less", they are much more tolerable when compared to the laser as well. 1.
