1.) Can this treatment be performed on my face if I have flat moles on my face? Can the moles be removed from the treatment? (I have very fair skin along with some sun spots.) 2.) Is it common for patients to have this treatment done on their shoulders? Mine are very spotted from sun tanning. 3.) Is it common for patients to numb before procedure? Thank you in advance for your answer/help!
I have been dealing with hyperpigmentation of these dark spots on my face for years. I have started IPL treatment, mostly looking to lighten and reduce the appearance of these sunspots. I am wondering if IPL can help reduce the dark pigment and if I should combine the use of retinoids or hydroquinone. Is there a way to get rid of them completely?
I've had a small Cherry Angioma on my forehead for 5 years. I thought it was a pimple till i picked it! It's slightly raised, which I could live with if the color was gone! I went to a Derm a year ago and she first tried to cauterize it. It didn't do anything, not even scab. Ended up going in 4 times & tried radio frequency, IPL x 2, & it did nothing! So my question is, what WILL actually remove the color? Or remove it completely? I am 35, light skinned, blue eyes, blonde hair too.
I want to go for an IPL for rosacea flushing, but I know people who have said that IPL made their flushing worse for a month after the treatment & broken capillaries worse. How is this possible? I also know it can treat flushing so Im confused!
I did a little research on how to get rid/reduce melasma. IPL seems to be one of the top choices. However, I heard its not a good option for Asian skin. What are other alternatives do I have? I started using hydroquinone two months ago. I also had three chemical peels every four weeks. My next step would be IPL or some other laser treatments. Please help. Thank you!
Hello, Please can you advise on the best treatment for dark vascular under eye circles? I have read a lot of different things, some recommend IPL laser others recommend Fraxel laser and then some say neither of these treatments would help. I am not interested in fillers, as you can see I do not have eye bags or wrinkles, just the darkness that I have always had and hate! Many Thanks
Ive been to several dermatologists and got a different response each time about how to treat my SK. I was given curettage as an option a few years back. Others have said IPL while others say theyd never use IPL on Asian skin because the risk of making the spot darker. I saw a doctor today to try Eskata but was turned away because my spot is not raised. The spot is flat, textured, and about the size of an eraser end.
