I Had an IPL Facial Done and No Protective Eyewear Was Offered to Me. Should I Be Concerned?

April 5, 2013
Asked By:heidimcr

I bought a package of 6 treatments and will absolutely insist on goggles at my next visit. Is it possible damage was done to my eyes from that initial visit with no protection? The flash of light on my eyes was the most uncomfortable part of the treatment. Also, they only space the treatments 1 week apart which does not seem like the norm from what I have read. I am having severe doubts about the practice I chose. Thank you for your response.
