IPL for brown spots in Asian patients

IPL can be a very effective treatment for brown spots in Asian patients.  Make sure that your health care provider is very experienced in treating Asian skin.  Make sure that they've had the device a long time (preferably more than two years), that the person using it has done many (more than 50) treatments and that the person is licensed to use it in your state, that a licensed physician is personally approving the settings used, that they use cooling--there are many factors to consider.  We have been using IPL since 1995 and it's a great treatment when done correctly and by an adequately trained professional.
