    I agree. I have an excellent, well trained RN as a technician who works for a plastic surgeon - dermatologist - board certified. IPL is not a " spa " procedure that just anyone can do. They have to be well trained in identifying skin types in comparison to the waves /intensity of light treatment applied to skin. This is a highly skilled educational process.
    Use the same technician. Look at their credentials along with the MD they are working for.
    I, for one, have and will never have a bad experience. Proven results and will keep going back as needed. My skin has never looked better at 49!

    This procedure has changed my life dramatically! The way I look, feel, etc. about myself. Just got back from a treatment - 4 th in 2 yr period. My Dr. gives us 5% lidocaine anorectal cream. Works wonderful! Yes, you do have to time appropriately application to time of treatment. Thickness applied makes a difference also. I have found 45 minutes before treatment thickly applied works best. Thicker around smaller, thin areas does wonders. Hang in. It can be painful when cream not applied correctly but only temporarily. I absolutely love the results and will stick to the program of 3-5 consecutive treatments to see truly the result. My small capillaries are gone and my age spots have faded. I'm a CCU nurse with a laser background. I would rather do this than any other chemical treatment. I also fing it funny that the best dermatologists creams main ingredients are herbs and antioxidents. I hope this helps anyone. It's worth every penny!
