Dr. increased level from 18 to 19 on 2nd visit which burned me. I am now left with deep creased scars.
Great review?
My Doctor: name not provided
My rating:
Everything went great until i was burned on second visit. She said that it was impossible for lasers especially IPL to do this. Gave me a refund of half my money which does not even begin to cover the money spent trying to fix the damage. If you decide to take this crap shoot take your own photos front and both sides of face in outside and inside light. Make sure they keep the level low as possible and wait at least 4 weeks min.between visits. Much of my damage showed up after several weeks and continues to degrade the texture and tone of my skin. I would never want anyone I care about to take this chance. It is my belief someday the medical profession will need to admit to the damage. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS IT IS NOT WORTH THE CHANCE OF ERROR.

I'm 41 years old and have been going for regular laser treatments for the last few years. ...
So this is my third laser in the last 2 yrs. going through the itchy stage as I type this....
I covered my face one hour before the procedure, and then 1/2 hour before the procedure...
I am so sorry to hear about what happened to you. Thank you for sharing your story. It is unfortunate that lasers in under trained hands can have such poor outcomes.
Please keep us posted on what changes you see in your skin.
Oh imsorry2now, that's my exact skin at 33 when I finished my ips sessions and it hasn't gotten any better. I think almost 2 years later it has finally settled for now, but I know I can't go back. I pray that no one does any kind of lasers/ipls until more research is done and these companies are regulated.
