“Still Waiting to SEE Any Results?”

Not Worth It
Spent: $900 in San Diego

2-weeks ago I had IPL; V-Beam and 5 minutes of Blu-Light laser all in one appointment. This was to get rid of "precancerous" spots BUT I was also told I would SEE improvement in age spots, red marks, and general redness. I am still waiting to see ANYTHING, how long does it take to see cosmetic results reducing redness and age spots? The broken capillaries do not look like they are budging!
Updated on 1 Feb 2011:
I never saw any results that I could put a finger on.
It didn't do anything. Not bad, but no good either. For the high cost, I really think I should have been able to tell they did a treatment.

A family member had a similar concern; after the treatment they didn't see results, and wondered if the machine settings were too low.
Not sure these help, but check out IPL vs Fraxel for Age Spots. The doctors provide considerable information about age spot removal.
