IPL: Bad Idea. Really Bad - Pointe-Claire, QC

One Selphyl Treatment Did Nothing - Montreal, QC

The lines began to show up a good 3 months after my 2nd IPL. I am now over 3 years out from the last IPL and there has been no improvement. The only thing that has improved is my level of acceptance. My health is in rapid decline. The radio-frequency radiation damaged my endocrine system. 

I will tell you that the thermal damage to cells induced by IPL can be hidden underneath and not be triggered to show up until later. The damage is progressive, and can continue to surface over years. My initial IPL showed zero damage. It was only 8 months later that I began to notice skin problems. IPL is like a microwave. It cooks the inside of your face and damages the tissues. I have not found a dermatologist who understands this type of skin damage. There just isn't enough information out there available. We are the guinea pigs I guess. I suspect that in a good 20 years these negative side effects will become known to all. Until then, we must try to warn others. 

Thank you for the suggestion, I will look into it! 

No, it's not normal. These places only say that to cover their butts... Get some biafine cream if you can. I've heard it is a great help with burned skin.

Wow! Looks like you've had much improvement Chrus! I'm so happy for you! Thank you so much for keeping us all updated!
