How do you go about removing thread veins?

And is it successful? Do they come back? Can it go wrong?

I have rosacea prone skin and have a few on my face. If there’s a way to get rid of them I would really love to.

IPL or BBL laser treatment. You need minimum 2 sessions with both I believe.

I had my first full face IPL session 2 weeks ago and there is a difference in how clear my skin is and the thread veins are faded. I think I only need one more session, but possibly 3.

I had no reaction at all to the treatment, not even much redness, but have read horror stories of people getting burns, so go in and patch test first.

I had IPL a few years ago. It’s just now getting to the point of needing to redo. Mine are rosacea related too. It also improved the rosacea a bit

I had a few little scabs but not noticeable really

Good time of year to get it done as easy to keep out of the sun

I too had IPL, and they were faded, but you do have to have them re-done over time, as others as saying. I also use a vit-C serum and other serums on my skin and they too have helped to shrink the threadveins.
