Laser Photo Facial

[Winter]

Hi Ladies,

Has anyone had this done? I have broken blood vessels on my face resulting in tiny red lines and some patches of red on my cheeks. My skin is translucent so this is pretty noticable.

This procedure is supposed to reduce or eliminate this and also age spots.

If you have tried it is there any side affects or downside to this other than the cost?

I have searched and have not seen any risks for this procedure.

Thanks,
Winter

Is this the facial where they use the red laser and just go over your face with it (I don't know how else to describe it)? If it is then I would suggest finding something else. I used to work part time at a full service salon. They also did facials and they were considering adding the facial where you just use the red laser. They got the gadget that you use and all the employees tried it out for a couple weeks. I think they used it on me 2 or 3x. It really did nothing. I don't have the veins but I have a few I guess their broken capillaries around my nose. I was trying to reduce the amount of discoloration I have on my face. I tried peels (that was awful, it looked like my face was falling off!)I went on the Obagi system, needless to say, I STILL have discoloration, just as much as before.

I am not quite sure of the terminology. I had some laser facial work done with a, I think YAG laser, in my daughter's dermatology office. It definitely took away some vessels around the nasal area. As far as age spots it lightened them some. I am sure they could be much worse. It has been 18 months since I did this. Most Laser work takes time for you to see the results. I did not have one of those that left all of the skin peeling etc..
