I haven't had IPL in a few years, and just went to get my back and neck done. They have a new Palomar system at the cosmetic surgeon's office where I go to have my treatments, and it hurts a lot less (actually not at all) than the older Quantum system (which was pretty painful, but effective). But, the Palomar Starlux IPL handpiece also didn't seem to do much of anything at the same energy level (23 Joules, I'm very fair). Did anyone else have a similar experience?

Yes, I'm not supposed to post names, but if you drop me an e-mail using the link above my review, I'd be happy to share the name of my nurse and the location of the cosmetic surgery office (it's in a hospital complex in Roseville, CA).

You are going to hate me but I think your breasts looked nice before as well as after.

Hi, I posted a picture of my face so you can see the results. I will try to get the "before" polaroid from my laser nurse- I was very red, splotchy, and had numerous sun freckles. In the photo I am only wearing primer and Philosophy's Supernatural Airbrush Canvas, which provides light coverage since I don't like heavy makeup. I hope this helps. My laser hair removal and botox have been great, but I need a botox touchup since I haven't had one since August.

My first series of IPL (four total) were finished in October 08, and I will go for one more this year for maintenance. I think it worked great and am posting a picture in case you are curious about what my skin looks like. I can't say enough good things about it.
