San Diego IPL Doctors and Reviews

“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

“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
