Hello, I had IPL done in one of the Krave Medical Aesthetics in Denver, I had no scars on my face but wanted to have nice one tone skin, had some discolorations on check area. After I had procedure done, as soon as I left while driving car to home, I started to have some liquids dripping from few areas on my face, I thought it is normal after this procedure, after I woke up in the morning, I had crystals dried out on my forehead and on my chin, I washed carefully and was hoping that it was over, but unfortunately as I had to work, liquid was still dripping. I called the office, they told me someone will return call, but no one did. I emailed owner, she did not respond right away, but finally did, I told her what was happening, and send her photos, she told me just to keep it clean and did not seemed to be concerned about it. At night I emailed my doctor, dermatologist and next morning I got call from my doctor to see them immediately, so I ended up having from skin burn infection developed from IPL and was prescribed with antibiotic cream. After 7 days finally stopped liquid and started to heal. But I really need help, I have deep scars developed from it and it is not going away, almost having holes on my face, it is very disturbing and every day I am looking at my self I am very frustrated, please recommend me what should I do in this case? owner for Krave Medical Aesthetics does not seems to care very much, she offered me some laser treatment, but it did not do anything at all, I don't want to live my life with this scars.

You can use mederma to prevent scarring and after your skin heals, find someone who can do dermapen properly. Series of 6 treatments with one month interval will return your skin smooth texture.

for my IPL treatments i usually go with a 0.1mm under the skin that sends the beam to the targeted area and never has a problem getting freckles, red spider veins and age spots removed with no risk of scarring

I have no idea what machine they used, but it looks like the people who did IPL on you ran roughshod all over your face with a serious calibration issue and wrong modification settings, which managed to successfully burn your face

i assume you signed a waiver form so i doubt you can sue as you took the risk. a specialist who knows what they are doing always takes photos of you before & after. i take full responsibility for my clients results

you've been screwed over.

Thank you! Does waiver says that it is risc of damaging?

Waivers can only do so much, it may call for arbitration. I don't think it states you cannot be compensated for total negligence and incompetence. It would be such a different story if they had just treated you well, with kindness and compassion. Maybe you should talk to an attorney.

Yes, you can get compensated. I took a clinic in the U.K. to court and won. You need to ensure you have had it recorded by a doctor to identify the severity of the burns ex. 1st degree or 2nd degree burns. Then you need to identify whether the clinic have logged on your record card they have burned you. Find out what machine they have used and contact the supplier direct. Talk to the supplier and ensure the operator has actually had training and if the training has been logged, as this is evidence in court. Then contact your local health authority and ask them to carry out an investigation to ensure the clinic is insured and complying with health and safety regulations and explain you have been burnt and you are taking this clinic to court.
