Doctors Won't Admit to the Damage of Lasers and IPL - Tampa, FL

Fraxel Left Me with Indents and Lines All over my Arms - Tampa, FL

Scars and Burns After IPL -Tampa, FL

Please read on. One story here went to the same doctor for five years and than one time turned up just one level and damage ten times worse than a brown spot. My first treatment was great but the second time within two weeks lines, pixel holes, loss of volume, so much worse than my brown spots. It thins the skin and caused it to sag. Two years later I have more brown spots even though I never, ever tan or tanned myself in the prior 20 years. You might be fine but I would not feel right without warning you. I went to a doctor, I did my research, I did a test spot, I did not tan before or after, and I have light skin and blue eyes. I should have been fine but I am not and the damage continues even two years later. The decision is yours but if I could go back and know what could of happened I would have never elected to do it.

Really raw onion? What is that suppose to do? Is there somewhere that you read about this and what did it do for you? I guess it would be a cheap fix but I am sure no one is going to kiss you goodnight after that! LOL

Dear DaisyD I can't believe someone did this to you. I do mean I believe you, but not the fact something like this goes on daily and the one who performed this procedure continues to go on their merry way. I was looking at pictures of myself that had been taken three months before my procedure and photos since then and I have that same melted face look. I have always had a full check face but now it looks like someone who lost 75lbs quickly. I have deep lines which appears as the support tissue of skin and fat are desolved. The only thing that helps our appearance most have discussed here is fillers which are temporary and not ideal on the checks and fat fillers which uses your own fat from other areas of your body to inject into your face. That is pretty expensive. I would hope you would be wary of any doctor who wants to treat with more laser. We can only hope some genius is out there who has a treatment maybe something with our own cells that will repair our damage. I hope you find a doctor to help and keep us all posted. We all are searching and hoping. Best to you

It is amazing that they will tell you that IPL is only surface deep. The hair cuticle is deeper than that if you look at diagrams of the skin and hair folicle. I hope it comes back. Probably if you wanted it for hair removal they would say you need another type of laser not IPL. As for the other damage to your skin you are experiencing what many have on here that have been damaged by settings that are too high. If after two months you do not see your eyebrows coming back I would hold them responsible. Go back before that to show them and take your own photos. They will most likely not take responsibilty for any other damage but the eyebrow is obvious. Good luck and I hope it gets better. Thank-you for being brave and reporting it and warning others

Not ClearLift but Fraxel on my arms and IPL on my face. I had Fraxel by my arms first from my derm doctor of tens years which at first only left really bad hypo and hyperpigmentation. They told IPL was much more gentle and I went to another doctor about two months later for my face the first treatment went fine four weeks later had the second treatment and caused so much damage. I have pictures posted. The I don't know what is worse that damage continues to get worse or the fact the doctors denies any responsibility for the damage.It took about three months later for my arms started with all these pixel holes and lines appearing.All of them work under the same science. Lasers in theory damage the skin which in return is suppose to create collegan scar tissue but as you can read it does not happen for everyone. If I could go back to just having some crows feet and few brown spots I would be so happy. Once the damage is done it is a burn and your skin will never be the same. Read some of the results under Fraxel or IPl damaged my skin there seems to be no solid reason why?
