Not Worth It

Spent: $1,000 in MS

IPL did not work for me at all. The nurse told me it would wonders on my pores and that was a joke. I had three treatments and I really couldn't see any difference at all. The fourth month came around and my face was back to the way it was before I had them done. I made a huge mistake and will never do IPL again.

My Doctor: Name not provided

Do your research first before making a decision on any laser service. IPL may be good for some things, but not for what I went for.

I had 3 IPL treatments for sun spots and broken capillaries on my face. After the last treatment I should say that IPL did nothing for me, it just didn't work. The pain was tolerable and my derm is a very famous doctor, but it didn't work for me, only emptied my wallet.
