Vbeam or Excel V is considered more effective than IPL and is usually more gentle on the skin. If you tell the practitioner not to bruise you using the Vbeam than you will only be red for a few days with some mild swelling. Some people swear by bruising, and others do not, but with bruising there is a greater chance of side effects. The Excel V is relatively new and is supposed to be better than the Vbeam. Bruising is rare with this machine, but you will have more noticeable swelling for a few days. So the decision is yours, but either of these should be your next bet to get rid of the broken capillaries.
