75% of La Jolla reviewers said IPL was worth it

“Great Results! - San Diego, CA”

I decided to try ipl to prove rhe appearance of my skin and reduce the sun damage on my chest and arms. I had two treatments on my chest, the first one didn't appear to dough but after the second treatment I saw excellent results with a combination of ipl and the alex laser! On my arms, I had one treatment of ipl+alex and the results were amazing! After it healed, I swear I was astounded at... more

“Too Early to Tell- Quite Painful -...”

I had this done in combination with a q switched laser to remove brown spots on face, chest, and hands. I also had a pulse dye laser for veins on the face. The veins disappeared miraculously! I have lots of dark brown spots on my hands and chest. I have to say that out of the three lasers, the IPL was the most painful! I would not schedule another IPL due to the pain. And I have a high... more

“Good if you're willing to maintain...”

Went to a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon fir st two treatments. He had several heimslef. looked so good after 2 was glad I didn't pay for the series of 5. Top of cheeks were rock hear and swollen after the second one cus they turned up the juice since the lazer wasn't hurting. Took a week to get back to normal. Didn't wear sunscreen so 4 years later did a series of 3. Went to a very... more

“A Rough Start....but Ended Up Well -...”

I had IPL to deal with a lot of sun damage and discoloration I had. I had a pretty extreme response - lots of swelling and the amount of pigmentation that came to the surface made it impossible for me to leave the house! It took about 10 days before I was healed enough that I could cover with makeup and not get a lot of sideways glances. 14 days post procedure, I am thrilled with the... more

“IPL Photofacial Earlier Today, So...”

Ok, let me begin this by saying that some of the reviews on here are absolutely terrifying. So much so that I almost backed out an hour before my appointment! In the end, I decided to go and at least discuss some of my concerns with the laser nurse. After doing so, I decided to go ahead with it. I am 28 and have sun damage with extensive hyperpigmentation and melasma. Remarkably, I have... more

“IPL Photofacial - San Diego”

I had a total of 5 IPL photofacials 3 with one lady and at the first place I went and 1 with another lady there. I didn't get any results with the first 3 treatments but with the last one I finally saw some results. It all depends on the esthetician that you use. The last one at the first place was great and did her job well. I have never seen any adverse effects from it. The second place... more

“Still Waiting to SEE Any Results?”

2-weeks ago I had IPL; V-Beam and 5 minutes of Blu-Light laser all in one appointment. This was to get rid of "precancerous" spots BUT I was also told I would SEE improvement in age spots, red marks, and general redness. I am still waiting to see ANYTHING, how long does it take to see cosmetic results reducing redness and age spots? The broken capillaries do not look like they are... more

“After IPL and ALA my Skin is Radiant!”

When I first had the procedure, I was not quite sure what to expect for recovery over the next few days. The doctor I went to did a phenominal job. First the ALA cream was applied and allowed to incubate for 1 hour. After that, a numbing cream was rubbed on my face which sat for 1/2 hour. The doctor then started the procedure. While the procedure was being done, the doctor applied utlrasound... more

“Fat Loss/sagging/permanent Puffiness...”

At first I was okay with the results, skin seemed a little clearer, although I had a puffy areas underneath both eyes. But over the next number of weeks, it became clear that something had gone terribly wrong. The skin that had been treated became bumpy and dented and I developed nasolabial folds that were never there before and the puffiness under the eyes did not go away. I finally... more
