I have seen several posts mentioning damage from IPL, the injectionist I go to does IPL but she is pricey and I was considering going elsewhere for cost. Is an IPL an IPL? Should I spend the extra money?
Answer: IPL Thank you for your question SeekingMyOwnIdeal. I understand your concern. IPL is a great treatment for facial rejuvenation. It is important that it is performed by an experienced provider. Look for experience, before and after photographs, and testimonials. Almost every one of my patients tell me that she would spend extra money for a good hair stylist so that she can look her best. Since there are so many complications from laser treatments I am surprised at how many people look for the best deal. I tell my patients that if they are on a budget they should save and wait until they are financially ready to see an experienced provider before undergoing treatments. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: IPL treatment If I were thinking about IPL for myself or family, I would only have it performed at a clinic with physician oversight. I'd also assure that the technician performing the procedure had several years of experience. IPL is a tool that has to be adjusted to each individual based on their skin condition, skin type and ancestry. Best to you, Dr. Norcom
