I am 28 and currently, I'm happy with my skin. I have very minimal signs of aging, no age spots, etc. However, I had a VISIA analysis done which shows 80% UV spots, so apparently I have sun damage that is not yet visible on the top layer of skin. Does it make sense to get IPL now to treat the sun damage preventatively before it shows, or is it better to get treated once it actually becomes a cosmetic issue? I can't afford to do it too often
