They are expensive - like $1500 for five (so $300 each). They also hurt like a bitch but the results are great. It's actually an intense pulse of light that allegedly penetrates your skin's dermis and stimulates the rebuilding of collagen. Whether that actually happens, I don't know - but they do something because your skin looks a whole lot better. The results have lasted for at least a year (I got five).
What happens is that you lie down and the esthetician puts a super cold gel on your face and you get these pads over your eyes and then she zaps your face about a zillion times with a little beam of light. It isn't fun. But it works - you lose sunspots, wrinkles, scars - all that - broken capillaries fade as well.
