“Insufficient Results from IPL for Sun Damage”
Kari, Winnipeg Canada
Not Worth It
Spent: $500 in Winnipeg
Spent: $500 in Winnipeg
I paid $500 for one session and had my whole face done - about 45 minutes. It felt like someone was systematically burning my face with cigarettes! I expected my face to be a terrible red mess afterwards, but it was not too bad and the redness completely subsided within the hour.
Although my whole face was done, I was particularly concerned about one dark spot under my eye. The girl really worked that area and it did fade, but not the broken capillaries around my nose. Now I have noticed sun damage around my temples again and I think I would opt for microdermabrasion instead. I did not feel that I got sufficient results for my $500.
For the record, I am blonde, 43, and spent my youth worshipping the sun. I am paying for it now (literally!!) in my 40s as the sun damage emerges as a result of my youthful neglect.

$250 would be reasonable.
Also, you need two different light nozzles for spots versus capilliaries. It's normally different treatment sessions.
