I have telangiectasia's (spider veins) on my nose and cheeks, as well
as general redness (which I suppose is caused by many capillaries too
small to see, like the larger spider veins). I do flush easily, but
don't have a consistent problem with it like many of the people here
do(at least not yet...).
In Dr. Nase's book, there are photographs of people who's
main problem seemed to be facial telangiectasia's, on the nose
and cheeks--rather than flushing--and they seem to have been
successfully treated with photoderm.
My question is: To remove spider veins on the face, is it better to
have a complete facial treatment(s) done with photoderm, or just spot
treat the spider veins with a yag 1064 laser? How do you tell whether
you should get the photoderm treatment or yag 1064? I want to decide
which treatment would be best before actually finding a dermatologist
to perform the procedure.
Also, I have some pitting on my nose--I'm not sure if these areas are
very large pores or some actual scarring, perhaps from rosacea. I've
read the photoderm can reduce the "orange peel texture" of skin due
to enlarged pores; is this true of the pores on the nose as well?
Thanks for everyone's help.
