I had one IPL treatment on my face to reduce sun spots and minor redness. For a couple of hours after the treatment, my face felt like it had a bad sunburn, but this went away. The spots were darker after the treatment. I stayed home from work the day after. Then on the second and third day wore some foundation and cover-up. By the fourth day I did not need it. (I don't usually wear foundation). I am happy with the results. My complexion overall is brighter/whiter. The sun spots are gone. I would recommend this for similar issues
