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?
Hi there-
You need to run as fast as you can from whoever told you this. I'm not sure what "research" you are referring to, but it's immaterial- this is silly.
I had ipl for sunspots on face hands and arms 11 days age. Test patches caused coffee grinds but treatment has just caused mild darkening of patches. Facial patches feel very dry. Is treatment working
It sounds like you are doing fine. I tell my patients that it may take several treatments to get the best result. Typically, you may see speckling (coffee grounds) or darkening of the spot which is usually an indication that the lesion has picked up the light energy and should lighten. This may take several weeks. I usually repeat the treatment after three weeks allowing to see the final result from the previous treatment.
I am a 42 year old woman who is noticing more sun spots/freckles and brown spots lately (mainily after giving birth). I am considering IPL, but am a little reluctant because my mother had a bad reaction about 15 years ago when she had laser resurfacing under her eyes...turned to hyperpigmentation which she had to treat with Renova for months. Is there an alternative for darker skin gals or am I a viable candidate for this procedure? The Medispa I consulted with seems to think I will be fine.
First and foremost, who is doing your treatment? What are they licensed for? For example, in the state of Florida; only a Nurse Practitioner, Physicians Assistant, or a MD can perform IPL treatments. There are parameters for skin type IV on an IPL laser. You mentioned that you noticed more after pregnancy which brings up another skin condition called melasma which is hormonal. I would have an assessment under a skin scope to see the level of damage. There are alternatives to laser such as skin lighteners and chemical peels. Hope this helps.
