Looks Nice for a Day or Two

i bought a package of 6 IPL treatments. I noticed a difference the day after my treatment, but not much else. The day after my skin seemed smoother and fresher looking. However, I think it looks about the same as when I have microdermabrasion (which is a lot less expensive). There is no pain with IPL. However, the light is a little startling the first time you have it done.
