Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me more about how home IPL devices work in comparison to in salon ones? I have a smooth skin IPL which for about 8 months I used on my upper lip over a year ago. I'm 33 and have noticed very faint vertical upper lip lines, I think I am too young to have to the start of these and was wondering are in home IPL devices capable of causing damage like this? My understanding was that they were far less powerful but now I am unsure and concerned. Many thanks
I hd uneven skin tone and pigmentation on my upper lip my 3 sessions are done 2 are remaining but my facial hairs have re grown and it's more than before. I was having overian cysts as off now it is cured I was taking novelon for my cysts can you please suggest some thing good which will help my facial hair to reduce
About 5 years ago I did some laser treatments on my skin, IPL and Genesis. All went well until I went to Mexico and came back with melasma above my upper lip. I have been using retinol and Vivier Vitamin C serum and a skin brightner from SkinTX since then, no hydroquinone. My esthetician is recommending that I do IPL again but only on my sun spots. Is this a good idea since I have melasma issues? Sun spots are mostly on my cheeks. Thank you!
since I started waxing&threading my upper lip it's darkened while developing into a shadowmoustachecan't go out without covering with tons of concealers.Last year I visited a clinic,they suggested microdermabrasion+using a lightening cream but that didnt help it looks even darker,I've been wearing 40Spf to protect from further damage.I've booked a consultation with a clinic&I've read on their website&everywhere else intense pulse light or fraxel laser might clear it up. will that work? Thanks
At the salon they shaved my upper lip before the session and now (day after treatment) im starting to feel stubble (but im super detailist and observe myself every second :D). I dont want to shave between sessions. it seems weird for me and i just dont want to do it. Is it okay? Will the hair fall out? Or will it feel like stuble for a long time? If the hair wasnt in anagen phase will it fall out too?
I had 8 seesions IPL on my upper lip for hair removal purposes only. (fair asian skin,dark hair). I had good results,after the last session on 6 OCT 2011, the next day I noticed darkening of my upper lip, I have only used aloe vera gel (can't get hydroquinine in UK it is illegal) now 1 month later the area is still SLIGHLTY darker, will this resolve with time? what should I do? I wear sunscreen every day and DO NOT want to have any more IPL sessions.
