i think it was you that posted about this earlier this week and if so then the ipl will work for you. just so you know ipl is not laser so you will be fine and it wont make your face worse. once you find a good reputable place to get it done have them do a test spot on you and see how your skin reacts and go from there. the ipl will get rid of those fairly easily and you shouldnt need more than i would say 2-3 treatments. when i get my treatments done the place i go to uses the polomar starlux max g and they do 3 passes on each area and that gets rid of my red marks, broken caps and sun damage very quickly. here is more info:

IPL is an acronym for Intense Pulsed Light. Using specific light filters, the energy of the intense pulsed light can be focused on a specific target within the skin.
Although IPL is not exactly a laser, it can be used in a similar manner to lasers for safe and effective treatment of unwanted hair, skin pigmentation, and visible and broken capillaries and veins in the skin.
IPL treatments can rejuvenate aging skin, help patients with rosacea, and can also treat certain types of skin cancers. The popular Fotofacial (Photofacial) treatment is performed using an IPL device.
