Is IPL Laser Treatment for Breast Enlargement Effective? I'm considering having ipl laser treatments for a breast enlargement. Research has shown that it increases up to 2 cup sizes only. Is this procedure effective? And what are the side effects?

A: IPL does not enlarge your breasts....

Sorry, but there is no such thing!!! The only thing that can enhance your breast size without gaining weight is getting surgical breast implants.

Hope this helps.

	“IPL Photo Facial: Wow - Sunset Beach, CA” I decided to have IPL done to improve the Melasma and patches I had on my forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. I was informed that IPL isn't the "best" laser for this condition and it could actually cause it to become worse. Melasma doesn't like heat, so it could flair up with the laser. I decided to do it anyway because years ago I had 1 treatment and it did improve the area I... more
	“IPL Photofacial is Fantastic! - Long...” I've had 7 IPL photofacials in the past 5 years and I couldn't be happier with the results. My first experiences were pretty typical of those described elsewhere on this site. My 4th experience was traumatic. I had so much melasma from my pregnancies, that the laser lifted up TONS of pigment, in a scary stripey pattern. YIKES! After that lifted off about a week later, I had stripes... more
	“Happy with my IPLs, Going Back for...” My twin sister and I are turning thirty this year. We have struggled for years with very ruddy skin, including red and brown 'sun' spots. I attribute our uneven skin tone to running around without a drop of sunscreen though the better part of our childhoods. Anyone with truly ruddy skin knows how embarassing it is to always have your skin look dirty, no matter how much you cleanse.... more
	“Very Pleased - Prolite II - Aliso...” I had the IPL Photofacial(1 treatment) almost two weeks ago, and I am very pleased. I had dark spots on my forhead and cheeks. I've always been prone to freckles, but these spots were getting bigger. All of the brown spots got dark, and as promised have fallen off. My skin is smoother, lines minimized, pores minimised, freckles faded. I'm very happy. I would definetely do it... more
	“IPL for Sun Spots” I am a light-skinned Asian female. I had very nice experience with my IPL provider. After inital consultation, she understood my concerns of the long-term, permanent side effects from IPL gone-wrong. She gave me 2 times of "test spot" with 7 day of interval. I just had my first IPL done yesterday. Thanks to 2 test spots, my provider would be able to find the right settings for me... more
	“IPL Got Rid of Broken Freckles and...” I had IPL done 5 months ago. It was the best thing I've ever done. All my brown freckles have gone away and my broken capallaries are gone too. face looks so clear and smooth. I don't have to wear make-up.It does feel like a rubberband snap but they numb you and use ice so hardly any pain. Also I had no down time. The brown spots become a little darker but fade after a couple of day. The... more
	“IPL Burn 9 Months Ago and Still Dark...” Hi, I had an IPL done 9 months ago and was burnt. it created an irregular pigmentation on my skin that I still can't get rid of after 9 months. It almost looks greyish compared to my yellowish tone skin that wasn't affected. I read more stories on here about how it's not even suitable for dark skin and I have grade IV skin (mexican).I've been doing peels, glycolic and salicylic to get rid of... more
	“No Way!” I purchased a package of 5 IPL's a couple years ago during fall/winter. The nurse recommended I get one IPL followed by micordermabrasion two weeks later and then another IPL two weeks after that (so one per month with micro in between). I am 26 and have sun spots as well as premature pigmentation from using birth control for many years.I did all of the treatments as well as all the... more
	“IPL Scarring” I had IPL done in Feb. of this year at {edited - doctor information appears above the review for registered users} in Newport Beach. Everyone including the manager did not explain the risk of the procedure but had me sign forms explaining complications and walked away without talking to me about it. I was sold that IPL was non invasive, risk free, and has no downtime unlike co2 laser. I had 1... more
	“IPL Caused Laser Burn on my NOSE” Was burned on the nose by their laser. The wound took three weeks to heal and I may have a scar for LIFE. The total cost was supposed to have been for 5 IPL and 5 Microdermabrasions. I only had 2 IPL's and 3 Micro's. After being burned and being unhappy I was told I would not be charged for any of the procedures and it would be transfered to 20 Micro's. I went ahead hoping it may... more
