Telangiectasia probe F3 vs. F4

Hi there.

For facial telangiectasia, I’m seeing the generally recommended needle probe size is .003, however some have recommended .004. Is one particularly more advantageous than the other?

Also, is insulated necessary since the tip it pressing against the skin and not going into it like hair electrolysis? Thank you!

0.03” is slightly advantageous in that it has a sharper point over 0.04. 0.02 is also used for more tiny vessels. Dedicated VBR/telangiectasia probes are non-insulated so you don’t need to worry about insulated needles. You are not going to be inserting the probe 4-5mm deep like you do into follicles. What literature are you using to learn about telangictaisa removal?

I use the F3’s. Never had a problem getting rid of veins big or small.

Thank you. This helps. I just made another post regarding settings and duration for facial Telangiectasia on basic thermolysis devices with manual dials. I have the T-103 from T.E.S.

If you have any advice, I’d appreciate it!
