Do You Always Get the Results After Your First IPL Treatment? Not Much Change - Day 2.

You wont see much difference after having 1 IPL, I suggest having at least 3-4 sessions every 4-6 weeks apart to fully benefit from your treatments, always apply spf daily to prevent any pigmentation. 

Best of luck 

Thank you for your question. By day two, I do not anticipate you getting any more dark spots, and this may be all you are going to get. Now, your problem may not be just pigment. You may have a vascular problem, and this will not reduce for several more days. If there is predominately a red vascular bed under the skin surface, looking like pigment, this is more difficult to remove, and may take use of the Candela V-Beam to treat. Melasma does not go away easily as they usually have a vascular component, making an IPL removal more difficult. The IPl will help with the superficial pigment, but there is usually more to them, and the IPL has a problem with the deeper vascular element. See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Board Certified Dermatologist to have a thorough evaluation. I hope this helps.

I normally suggest purchasing a package of IPL to see full result, with 1 or 2 treatments you wont see much difference.
