“Just Got It Last Night - Pain Was Unbearable”

I just got IPL last night, for facial spider veins. They did my cheeks, nose and chin. The pain of the treatment was bad, but bearable. But by the time I drove home, I felt like my face was on fire!!!! I cried for three hours straight, and had two icepacks on my face. I even rang my family and cried on the phone to them. They thought I should go to the hospital as I am known for having a very high tolerancy for pain, and this was very much unlike me!

It eventually became less painful after taking strong painkillers and the icepacks for 5 hours, however I am still feeling some pain today. I also have every section of my face done covered in brown/black dots, which were impossible to cover with makeup and an absolute embarrassment at work today where I had to chair two meetings!!

I'm 24 years old with very fair skin. Cannot see any results due to so many brown spots.
