I Had IPL 2 Days Ago and Have Coffee Grounds Spots, but No Redness. Did It Work?

October 30, 2010
Asked By:Mob1014

Even the first day, that evening, I had no redness at all. It was performed by a board certified dermatologist, so I am not concerned that he did not know what he was doing, but I am wondering was the laser turned too low? I have the dark spots, but that is it. I had splotchy red spots immediately after the treatment, but they faded that afternoon. I guess I feel like if I had a lot of redness and sunburn look, I would feel like it had worked better. Is this correct?
