How long after having IPL will I see results?

butter_beans
I had my first IPL treatment one week ago to spot treat some broken blood vessels on my face, but so far I haven't really noticed any substantial difference in the appearance of my skin. How long it typically takes to see improvement after having IPL?I realize that multiple sessions are often required to achieve the best results, but I am concerned about the possibility that the first treatment might have been ineffective. Should I give it more time?
