My procedure only less than 5 minutes for my entire face each time and that doesn't seem like enough time to properly do the treatment. After 3 of these treatments over 2 months I see no difference. No improvement of broken capillaries around and on my nose and chin and no improvement of brown spots. Is this a typical experience and outcome? How long should it take for this treatment?

Answer: IPL time Typically an IPL in our office will take between 30-60 minutes, so 5 minutes seems a little fast, unless they were doing spot treatments only. If you aren't getting any results even after 3 treatments, it's best to consult with your treating physician.

Answer: Speedy Treatments are Usually Not Better Thanks for your question. I can't comment on your previous treatments. In our office, we schedule an hour in the room for an IPL full face treatment. We expect it to take about 45 minutes to treat someone thoroughly with 2 passes for browns and 2 passes for reds. We use a CynoSure ICON with the MaxG hand piece. You should pose your question to the supervising physician of your provider. Thanks and good luck.
