Worth It
Spent: $100 in philippines

pros:cheap,pain free

cons:weekly? very short sessions i believe

been having redness on my cheeks that look like im blushing but in reality these are caused by very tiny vessels or capillaries that are showing through my thin facial skin because of prolonged steroid use for psoriasis.also because of the presence of hyperpigmentation up high on my cheek bones.

i had my first ipl for hyperpigmentation and broken capillaries on my cheeks last sept 29.that session was less than 15minutes.she told me to come back a week after the procedure. im hesitant to do this because from what ive read each session should be 3weeks apart.is it safe for me to go ahead anyway?because so far i can only see mild improvement after 8 days.and fyi i didnt have burns or scabbing or peeling.the result was some minimal improvement so far.im really wanting to see her soon and not have to wait too long.im just wary.
