I had a few brown spots on my cheeks an the skin...
- 23 Jun 2012
I had a few brown spots on my cheeks an the skin near my right eyes area 4 years ago. I had 3 sessions of IPL because a dermatologist told me that he could remove those brown spots by 2 sessions of IPL(cost $1,500) -- after 2 sessions of IPL, 50% of my face was covered in brown spots/patches... then, I was told to have one more stronger IPL session(cost $750) and that would take care of the problem. After the 3rd session, 70% of my face was covered in brown spots/patches. At that time, the dermatologist told me(the first time) that I was one of the 5% Asians that don't react to Laser Treatments well and suggested other kinds of Laser Treatments. His staff started to give me hard time and I lost faith in him. I was devastated. I gave Cosmelan a try after consulted may dermatologists. My skin condition never returned to prior IPL treatment but I was happy with the result a year later afer many sessions of Silk Peel. Unfortunately, my story doesn't end here. Some of the brown patches returned three months ago and I went back to see the dermatologist for Cosmelan Treatment again 4 weeks ago. I have no idea why it doesn't work this time! now my face is in a brown mask!! the dermatologist suggested me to have Vipeel.
I'm so sorry to hear how your skin has reacted to the procedures. I'm not sure if you have seen it already, but we have a Vi Peel community with over 100 reviews, so perhaps reading some of them will help you determine if the Vi Peel is right for you or not.
