Worth It
Spent: $250 in Indianapolis, IN

I had my first IPL treatment on Thursday. The burning sensation afterwards was terrible, but it only lasted for 2 hours at the most. The redness disappeared about 6-7 hours after the procedure.

My question is how long will I have dark spots on my forehead? I am olive skined and have TONS of sun damage on my face.

I can't say if I'm satisified or not.

My question is how long will I have dark spots on my forehead?
