“IPL and the SEVERITY OF DAMAGE IT CAUSES - West Vancouver, BC”

Not Worth It

I would NEVER recommend IPL EVER. I had it once on a very low setting. It left very visable squares, deep rooted lines, zig zag lines all over face and chin. The more years pass, the more the damage comes to surface of face. I'm surprised so many doctors are not more ethical and can speak about a procedure they've never themselves had done. Shame on all of you. I absolutely would advise against something that has caused so much heartache and pain. BEWARE!

Wasn't informed of IPL and the serious damage it causes. The doctor and nurses refuse to admit that IPL leaves severe damage and years later you continue to see the harm/damage it caused. Instead a lot of doctors are using age as an excuse for the marks, scars, zig zags, deep lines and squares that age will NEVER cause. If you want pictures you can PM me

Hi Tiki,
Thanks for the review. I'm so sorry you have scars from the procedure, that sucks. Have you gone to see another doctor to see if they can do anything for you? Please keep us updated.
Thanks,
-Britt
