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: No safe and predictable nonsurgical breast enlargement

There is no laser treatment, herbal supplement, exercise, or anything else that doesn't involve surgery that will safely and predictably enlarge breasts. Whatever research you have read about IPL for breast augmentation is bogus.

Can I Have Laser Genesis and IPL Treatments on the Same Day? Can I Have Laser Genesis and IPL Treatments on the Same Day?

A: Laser Genesis and IPL treatments the same day.

The Cutera system is made to have both treatments done the same day. As said before, if you are of darker skin tone, then you might want to stagger the treatment to avoid any complications. Good Luck!

Redness And More Visible Broken Blood Vessels After IPL for Rosacea- Normal? I had my first IPL treatment for rosacea a few days ago. My face is still red, and the my broken vessel is more visible. Is it normal on the first treatment to see more red before it gets better? I'm scheduled for my next treatment in 5 weeks. Please advise. Thanks.

A: Redness more visable after IPL

I agree, IPL cannot make broken capillaries worse, it will reduce overall redness which might make certain areas more visible. You can see a slight difference after one treatment (more for hyperpigmentation or sun spots) but with Rosacea and overall redness, results will be more visible after at least 3 consecutive treatments. Good Luck!

	“IPL - Seattle, WA” 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
	“Excellent Results on Sun Damage and...” I'm 40 and I have had a lot of sun damage and skin imperfections intesified by three pregnancies. My Doctor made me like "like new" with botox and IPL treatments. She is extremely professional and a very caring doctor. The results are fantastic! more
	“Go for It - Face is Smooth,...” I had an IPL a week ago.The dr said a little redness a little peeling.that wasn't true, It was major bruising swelling and peeling, My face looked like I had been dragged down a gravel road on my face.It was nothing like I expected.The good news, it has been a week and it has all peeled and my face looks awesome.If they would tell you what to expect it wouldn't be so frightening. I was going... 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
	“IPL Ruined my Skin” 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
