Dr. Holder’s Comments
Answer: Pulse dye laser
Whatever you call them, Broken capillaries, Facial veins, Telangiectasias, red spots, they require lots of coverup. The incidence is very high in people of Northern European descent, although I have seen it in other populations. An association exists with rosacea. I often joke with my patients that Santa Claus, who appeared with rosy cheeks, had a severe variation of this condition.
The good news is that we have a painless pulse dye laser at Park Slope Dermatology to zap away these superficial meddlesome vessels, with a clinical outcome of clear skin. We focus on aftercare to pamper the skin to achieve perfection. Often, patients do need multiple treatments.
