This happens a lot at the gym or after a glass of wine. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

I went to my general practicioner last night to have him look at the patches which are still discolred on my cheekbones, forehead, etc. He confirmed what I suspected; the small capillaries are now broken on those areas. Of couse, they will now require laser treatnment if they do not disappear. Because my insurance will not pay for a cosmetic procedure, this must come out of my own pocket if I make a decsion to pursue such a route. Prior to this treatment, I did not have one broken capillary on my face. It is appprox 2 months since discontinuing treatment and I do not have much hope for healing. If anyone else has experienced this and found a satisfactory solution please let me know.  Mollyb Thu, 04 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT
