Does IPL have any long term side effects for aging the skin?

MaggieD73
I know short term it gives the collagen in your skin a boost but are the long term effects negative? I feel like if it gives your collagen a short term boost then maybe long term your collagen will 'run out' sooner? I don't want IPL to age me in the long run...
