I had IPL on my arms and hands and am 7 days post tx. I still have quite a bit of coffee grounds, seems like it is taking a while for them to clear. Previously I have undergone 1 IPL tx on my face and 2 on my chest, the coffee grounds from these cleared in 5 to 6 days. I read that areas that are more vascular clear faster since the skin cells shed more quickly. Is this correct? If so, what is the average time for IPL recovery on the arms?
due to exposure to sun. Does IPL helps in both removing the KP redness or brownness which is remaining after using Glytone which cleared up the bumps. also that pigmentation on hands will go with IPl or not? some spa said they can't do IPL only one spa where she has trained certificate of IPL she said she can do on my skin. do u i go IPL or chemical peel will help me for both?
Prior IPL on hands w/o problems. New Dr/dermatologist this time. When local wore off felt like bad sunburn, like before. But this time lasted all night. Next day looked pink no blisters. Day 2 much turned purple w/dark blisters. Dr said cover w/aquaphor come back 1 wk. Said I had a rare reaction & should never have laser again. Now Day 7 & 75% peeled is bright shiney pink-. Will it ever look like normal skin on the rest of my hands? About how long? Rare reaction my foot!!
I had IPL hair removal on my arms, hands, legs, bekini. I never sunbathe but do wear short sleeve tops in summer without SPF. Since the IPL (7 treatments, 6 wks apart) I noticed red lines on my wrists after flexing them. Now, i have been left with very wrinkled wrists when i flex them, that were not like that before. The skin appears drier and aged. I wonder if it was from the sun exposure on my arms in the car driving to work 8.30am and back at 5.15pm (40 mins each way) that caused this?
Hello Doctor i would like to know the facts of what will be the result of laser hair removal on skin type 4 men while reducing the arm's hair and what are the laser machine which has the most effective result and what will be the result while using the E-light IPL hair removal machine. And what can be done if the treatment doesn't work and if you have the reverse effects, like more hair growth and hair that becomes longer than before.
Hi just had second treatment on hands with ipl. Doctor said he was disappointed with results of first treatment. Spots darkened but never faded. He said he used max strength and same on second.The spots have gone slightly darker again day after treatment,but i now dont hold up hope for good outcome and the doctor said he wouldnt normally do more than 2 treatments.He said he would consider a chemical peel. All the web sites discussing this treatment say it takes 3 or 4 treatments for improvement, what are my options?
