Facial thread veins and skin tag

Got a YAG laser treatment today for roscea/thread veins which was surprisingly painless, the area was numbed with freezing cold air. I mentioned to the doctor that I had a skin tag on my eyelid which was bugging me; he went and checked to see if he had anyone waiting (he didn't) then gave me a quick injection into my eyelid and burned it off! Took less than a couple of minutes. Very happy with the results and only €150.

Will you have to go back for further sessions for the thread veins OP?

I've booked in some YAG laser sessions for a few minor veins around my nose and some IPL for redness, but I was told I would need several sessions of each to clear it up. I was also relieved when they did the test patches that it wasn't painful, just a bit prickly.

I'm hoping it clears up some redness around my nose and chin and generally evens out my skin tone - actually my skin is in good nick since starting tretinoin a few years ago, but I still wear make up to even out some of the redness which is annoying.

I'm going back in about 6 weeks, I think another session will be needed but I'll have a better idea in a few days when my skin has calmed down. I'm going back to get my eye bags done by the same guy in the new year; he recommended doing it in the winter to reduce any sun damage.
