I had several procedures; IPL, lip injections, cool+brilliant, for an upcoming event. I spent >$2200 and I no benefit at all! That's not to say there was no before/after difference--there was: I looked worse! I even explained how I'd had my lips done once before that I liked (keeping the basic heart-shape) and she ignored me, injected with no plan, just a little here and there (as my lips swelled) and needless to say they were not only crooked but lumpy. It's almost as if she has had no training whatsoever on techniques, but feels by virtue of her medical license, she is automatically qualified.
Regarding the IPL treatment--I've had two previous series of three at another clinic so I knew what to expect. I saw NO RESULT other than severall age spots became more pronounced and did not fade. My roseacea was no better, either. When I mentioned this to Michelle, she said my skin had "pinked up" nicely, so she used a low, but appropriate setting. Apparently she failed to take my fair skin tone into account (as it "pinks up" with any medium pressure.) Needless to say, I won't be returning, and I'm posting this as a kindness to future patients.
