IPL. Severe pain and blistering. This much pain cannot be right for aging spot removal?

IPL shouldn't have a reaction like this, I suggest seeing your provider and expressing your concerns and consider a different physician and location for future treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.

IPL is a great
treatment for age spots on the chest. What you are describing is not normal and
needs an examination immediately by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic
surgeon to determine the best methods to treat what you are describing.



It appears from your
description that someone did not know much about IPLs when they were treating
you. This is more than a point-and-shoot device, and you need to have someone
who understands the device and the nuances of the device when you are having
IPL treatments. It appears that either too much energy was used on your chest
or not enough cooling was used – all preventable with proper knowledge and
training.



Get to the right doctor and get things taken care of as
soon as you can.

Sounds like "over treatment" leading to a burn. Immediately return to see the treating IPL doc...///.

No, this is NOT normal and sounds like a very bad burn occurred from overtreatment. Seek an appointment with the physician immediately! "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
