• Posted to Vi Peel Didn't Go Like the Website Said, but Was Worth It! on 23 Dec 2009

  I am no medical professional either. I went to a licensed aesthetician who applied the VI Peel. It is only the beginning of Day 2, but I seriously look like a burn victim! I look like I have splotchy patches of freckle farms across my face, and I still look extremely sunburned. This is going to be difficult to conceal when I go to my parent's house tomorrow for the holidays. I guess I could always go as Rudolph the Red-FACED Reindeer. I am sure hoping this is worth it. Thank God I don't go back in to work until the 30th!

  I just wanted to respond. I have had 5 IPL treatments on my face and 3 on both my arms and hands. As far as the arms, I don't think I had enough done. I had severe sun damage from years of sun baking and tanning beds as a teen. With 3 treatments, I did see a 90% reduction in freckles though. In my hands, I did not see much of a difference after 3 treatments. Again, I most likely needed at least 5 to see a difference. As far as my face is concerned, I had 5 treatments done. I am fair-skinned and prone to freckling. After the treatments, I had clear and beautiful skin. I started the sessions when I was 32, and I am now 37. I am going back in for more treatments on the face as well as starting treatment on the chest for the first time. In my experience, if you have 5 or more sessions done in row, it will last for about 5 years. I hope this helps :)

  I have had IPL in the past. I am 37 now, and I was 32 at the time I received my first IPL treatments. I had the face, arms and hands done. I had 5 treatments for the face and 3 for the arms. I had extreme damage to the arms from sun baking and tanning beds when I was a teen, so I think I needed at least 5. It did get rid of 90% of the freckles though. As far as my face, I am prone to freckling, and after 5 treatments, my skin was clear and beautiful. As I mentioned, I am 37 now, and am going to go back in for 3 more treatments on the face. I would say that on average, wih 5 or more treatments, the IPL will last around 5 years. Hope that helps :)
