IPL: Stories

I had the same issue. I had had 4 IPL treatments and it seemed that some of my broken capillaries were just not going to respond to it. So, I opted for another kind of treatment. Find a doctor or nurse practitioner (NP) that can spot treat your specific broken capillaries with a "pulse dye laser". My NP wore magnifying goggles when she used it and zeroed in on the broken capillaries around my nose and on my chin and under my left eye. From a lay-person's perspective, it seems that this laser is much stronger than IPL -- but the "spot" is much tinier and exact. It hurt (like a sting or snap of a rubber band) at the moment of zapping, and I was red for a few minutes, but almost all the broken capillaries were gone within 10 days. It took all of about 15 minutes to have done. I went back 4 weeks later and she zapped the most stubborn ones -- and they are now all gone. She also changed some settings and then zapped a few of my more stubborn age spots, too, which are now almost all gone and definitely lighter than they were! I look 6-10 years younger than I am!!!! There was no "down time" and the 2 treatments cost a total of $450 here in Phoenix / Scottsdale, Arizona. Good luck!
