Thank you for your question. If you have brown or red getting better, then it is helping. If you are not seeing any benefit, then it is not helping. If you have precancerous lesions like actinic keratosis they can be getting reduced. Have a Board Certified Dermatologist or Board Certified Plastic Surgeon evaluate you and determine if you are benefiting from the treatment. I hope this helps.
IPL is a very short pulse of light. Probably most of the benefit comes from additional incidental light after the IPL treatment. Personally, I like to activate Levulan with red light (630nm Omnilux) because it gives me the best results.

Thank you for your question. Very unlikely, but I would not say impossible. If you are already prone to a little vertigo, and have some inflammation around your eyes, from the IPL treatment, then this could cause a bit, but it would be considered rare, and I have not seen it. Theoretical more...
Thank you for your question. It is a good policy to just use sunscreen for the 2-3 days prior to an Ipl treatment just to be safe and allow any product residue to be removed with washing. An IPL picks up so many different things, it is bets to be safe and allow those few days to cleanse the...
Continuing your IPL series would help eliminate deep pigmentation and bring it out the surface, make sure to wear appropriate sun protection daily
Thank you for your question. It sounds like the laser took the pigment out of your skin and it hasn't returned. Unfortunately, all procedures involve some risk. The neck is a very difficult area to treat, and it is very sensitive to energy. It can burn in one area, and be fine in another. If...
