My IPL - Ashburn, VA

I had a lot of sun damage from years in the sun...

I had a lot of sun damage from years in the sun plus a 2 year tour to Hawaii. I had been told that IPL would have AMAZING results on my skin. I had kind of. Amass. It almost looked like I had blush on all the time. During the summer, my complexion was kind of "lacey". I had my treatment in November '11. It wasn't painful, but it wasn't relaxing either. A square hand piece is placed all over the areas needing help and there is a sort of zap. What happens next is the dark spots turn much darker, then they scab a bit and come off. It sounds pretty straight forward, but I was embarrassed by the way my face looked and didn't always go out. It took about 7-8 days. It didn't hurt. It really did look like coffee grounds on skin. Beautiful skin was revealed and It really was a huge difference for me and well worth the money and the process. I hope it helps you, too.

Great review?

How many treatments did you get and where exactly did you go in Ashburn?

I should have one more treatment. I'm telling you, it will improve your skin!

Ok, I must admit I'm a bit jealous of your 2 years in Hawaii. ;)

So glad the IPL worked so well for you. Is it something you plan to do again, or did the one treatment pretty much take care of all of your concerns?
