50% of Renton reviewers said IPL was worth it
I had a series of IPL treatments (and of course, was promised amazing results). I can only give this a so-so rating. The pulses will start to hurt after 30 minutes of treatment. For the cost, I don't think IPL was worth it based on the "promise the moon" spiel I was given by the physician's rep where I had the treatment. I think it costs less to use great sunscreen (which I... more
I had developed melanoma after being on the pill, so I tried the IPL laser treatments. It definitely worked for getting rid of the brown spots(took several treatments), but did leave me more sun sensitive so I had to use sunscreen and wear a hat. more

“Found my Secret Weapon -- Wish I'd...”
My skin showed a lot of sun damage, including several large dark sun spots that made me look much older than my 34 years and about which I was very self-conscious. I spent years trying to approach it conservatively, ultimately spending money on fade creams that did nothing, before feeling ready to try IPL. Oh my god! I wish I'd done it years ago. It was so simple, and so effective. In one... more
My friend and I had read that IPL's were great for skin for redness, light wrinkles, etc. We were both excited to get our face cleared up and 'beautiful'. We should have known because the clinic we both went to didn't even explain any side effects other than it may hurt like a snapping rubber band, there may be a little redness, etc. The procedure was painful, and after 6... more
“No Skin Improvement from IPL”
I had treatments over several months & there was little if any improvement in skin tone, brown spots, or wrinkles. more
“IPL Seemed Like a Waste of Money”
When I went for my botox I asked for something more aggressive to keep the aging to the minimum--do it gracefully. My derm recommended IPL. I spent probably $800 on IPL and I don't think it did anything for my little wrinkles and crows feet around my eyes and mannequine mouth. My dermatologist recommended this, not thermage because my face is too thin. I have lots of lines, but my face... more
