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.

A: IPL treatments....

Strictly coincidence!!!!! IPL treatments to your buttocks does not have anything to do with a small red spot on your corner of your mouth showing up. Sorry.

Hope this helps.

64% of Marina Del Rey reviewers said IPL was worth it

	“Loved it! - Manhattan Beach, CA” I have always had a reddish skin tone (I'm a fair-skinned Irish woman) with acne prone skin. I had this done maybe 3 or 4 times over a 2 year period and loved it. I found that while it did hurt a bit, it wasn't bad at all....plus, my pores appeared smaller and the ruddiness was almost completely gone. I have been asked for years if I have a sunburn, which I did not. I had... more
	“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
	“Dr D is Great with Lasers - Los...” I have had multiple laser treatments with Dr D for my sun damaged neck and chest. My skin was so red and wrinkley but now it looks amazing. Dr D is an expert with lasers! He also suggested a great skincare and sunscreen regimen to go along with the laser treatments so that my skin continues to look good. 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
	“Happy Patient - Santa Monica, CA” Years of accumulated dark sunspots. Not only did the IPL remove the sunspot, it smoothed my skin and shrunk the pores. more
	“Severe Burns from Ipl” Ipl with bad burns. Hated it. Melasma is worse. Don't know if I will heal completely. It's been 6 weeks and I am very hyperpigmented.I had an ipl 6 weeks ago for melasma, and got severe burns. I have hyperpigmentation badly on one cheek from this and am wondering if this will go away, and if so how long will it take? My melasma is worse now. What can I do to fix this? I am currently... more
	“IPL Foto Facials for Skin...” I work in a Medi Skin Spa so I get to benefit from the experts around me. But I would recommend this course of treatment to anyone with aging, sun damage, brown spots, acne scars, age spots, discoloration, fine lines or even dark circles under the eyes. Find a practitioner who can design a proper course of treatment or combination of treatments not just tell you that one IPL FotoFacial will... more
	“IPL Looks to Have Worked...still...” I had IPL done 5 days ago at the suggestion of a few dermatologists to treat sun damage. I am 35 years old with fair skin, light hair and definitely did not take the necessary precautions with sunscreen when growing up. For some reason, over the last few years I have noticed a lot of damage and it really bummed me out. I tried some of the pigment gel but the Drs thought with my skin type and... more
	“IPL Time Consuming” I did a series of IPL treatments a few years ago. While the short term effects were great, as in ... my skin looked younger and firmer for about a month, and my brown spots/freckles were reduced, these effects were not lasting. They were able to reduce the amount of red veins, however, and they have stayed away. more
	“IPL Can Seriously Burn You.” I started developing two tiny light brown freckle type spots on my cheeks and doctor recommended Fotofacial. I received IPL treatment on my face, during which I was in agonizing pain. It felt like I was being burned by a hot Iron. The technician kept saying it is painful but that is how it should be. I was hot red in my face when I left and by tomorrow i had dark burned spots in lines and... more
	“Spots Slowly Fading” I've just completed my sixth IPL treatment. Each month my skin looks better. To be honest, I didn't really understand when I started down this road how many treatments would be needed. One word to those with burns is that each doctor decides how much to turn up the laser. My skin gets really red if we go too high, so my first few treatments were done at a pretty low level. In the end, it... more
	“Loved & Stunned by the Result!” I am Asian, had fair skin, probably slightly above average skin before the procedure. I'm approaching 30, wanted to start taking very good care of my skin. I had some light freckles around my eyes, and my skin tone looked a little dull. My dermatologist told me IPL could get rid of the freckles and stimulate collagen production. I was quite nervous during the procedure because my eyes were... more
	“Results Were Below Expected” I had 5 sessions i purchased. i had very little results and the doctor added two more. The office used to have a video in the waiting room how it was painless. It was one of the most painful things i've ever had even with the numbing cream. I couldn't wait until my last session. There was no downtown but no good results either. It did zap away broken capillaries but no freckles/sun spots... more
	“After 6 Treatments It Was a Bust” With new technology like thermage I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the last one to ever purchase IPL treatments. After looking over incredible b4's and after shots, I was convinced to purchase a series of IPL sessions for $2K (which is a ton of money for me). I got IPL for fine lines and Rosacea-like condition on my cheeks. Each session hurt A LOT. Nothing close to their warning... more
