I had IPL done once and liked it and then exactly 4 weeks later had it done again. The pain was worse the second time and I noticed, after about one month, that I now have grooves around my eyes that look like dark circles when my chin is down. I wear glasses to hide this now. Others have reported laxity; it's hard for me to tell but i've always taken great care of my skin that nobody guessed my 47 years... Is it possible that I should've waited longer than 4 weeks between 'treatments?"
