reduce/remove the awful facial redness like I thot it wud, but has helped sumwhat reduce the 'prickly heat/stinging' sensations; the machine is a Palomar. My skin is sensitive to everything (heat/cold) and was nicely told I'm a dificult case; I'm at my wits end! IPL treatmts are my last resort, Metrogel 1% DID NOT help much; is there ANYTHING ELSE I can do or use-other machines/facial products, etc.-to reduce/remove redness & flushing? Rosacea socialy cripples me, I use heavy concealr EVERY DAY
I had my 1st IPL a while back for my freckles & 2 hrs later my freckles immediately looked like pepper & they peeled off 7 days later. Yesterday I had 2nd treatment w/ increased settings but spots did not pepper like last time. They just got darker but not flaky. Does that mean it didnt work?
After my 1st IPL session, I had immediate dark spots that fell off within a week! Great improvement! 4 wks later, at my 2nd IPL session (at another facility), and I see no difference whatsoever. No dark spots, redness or anything. Looks as if I never had the 2nd session. (I don't know the machine names, but the 2nd one was much more painful). I was told that you only typically get dark spots after the 1st session. Is this is normal? Must you get dark spots in order to lighten the sun damage?
I had an IPL treatment last Friday. The procedure was not painful at all and afterwards my skin was a little red. The following day it went back to normal. I had no flaking, scabbing, redness, nothing. I was expecting to see some changes but I look exactly how looked prior to my procedure. Was this supposed to happen?
I had ipl 5 years ago with fantastic results. The Pigment has come back but my original therapist moved so have been to someone else. After 2 treatments there are no results. I have discussed with her, she said not everyone has peppering but I feel the machine settings are wrong. Due for a third visit. Your opinion would be appreciated.
My underarm had some results first - I could see hair falling down but they'd grow back. My legs first looked better. Hair would grow back slower. However now I haven't had a session for 2 months and my hair grows back very fast and it's thick and dark. Why is this happening? Should I do more sessions then? Did I waste my money? Should I try different laser hair removal treatment? I don't have any hormon problems.
...it was done by an MD and the PA that works for the laser manufacturer. I spoke with the MD and told her there were no results and she said that they weren't very conservative and the laser was set to the proper setting. She said they can be more aggressive next time. This concerns me. Do we then run the risk of burning? And if the laser was set to the proper setting, does this mean my skin reacted in a unpredictable manner, and being more aggressive next time is shooting in the dark? Thank you
