my 3rd IPL on my chest, yes I did have a tan, but the same as the last 2 times which went great.The NP that performed past treatments left so the Dr. did the treatment. The IPL had been broken for over a month and today was the first time it had been used. The strength was the same as my last treatment. I have blisters and severe pain. I went back 1 hour after treatment and was told the damage would be gone in a week. She felt the new tip was too strong.
