IPL's suck and so do the irresponsible doctors that adminster them. I also had a horrible experience with IPL from a dermatologist here in MI. I had a mild case of melasma,(very mild, all I needed was creams, not IPL) he suggested the IPL's and now I have permanent scars on my face with almost a zig-zag on my cheek. No lie! My melasma went from being a very mild case to now covering about 50% more than what it was before. I'm angry and every time I look at my skin without makeup I want to cry. I spent hundreds of dollars to make me look worse? It's insane! It's robbed me of my once high self esteem, hate to be seen without makeup, hate to look at myself without it. I can't believe this procedure has done this to me. I'm so mad, thinking of sueing. It's just wrong and irresponsible on the part of the doctor and laser companies selling the idea that heat and light makes melasma better. WRONG, it makes it worse, trust me.
