IPL was worth it: Results were below expected

i had 5 sessions i purchased. i had very little results and the doctor added two more. The office used to have a video in the waiting room how it was painless. It was one of the most painful things i've ever had even with the numbing cream. I couldn't wait until my last session. There was no downtown but no good results either. It did zap away broken capillaries but no freckles/sun spots flaked off like they said.
