My IPL photofacial is scheduled for 11/4/15. The machine being used is the Medley by Ellman. I'm very excited! Being a California native my skin is very damaged. (I never wore SPF..now i do!) my skin conditions are uneven tone & complexion, dull, dark sports, hyperpigmentation, scars, large pores, oily and overall ugliness haha! I'll keep updated with pics

Please be very careful and read all the updates and posts with people with ipl laser damage my skin was seriously amazing and I just had a few freckles I wanted to get rid of a now I have puffy dark under eye bags and fat loss in my skin has no lo to it whatsoever it's been devastating please be careful I wish I had someone to tell me that before I got it done because it has been life changing just make sure that your person really knows what they're doing and uses a very low setting if I could go back in time I would have never of done it your skin looks beautiful already

I had an IPL done and did not have a bad experience. Just make sure you stay out of the sun, use SPF religiously, no picking, and whatever you do...DO NOT scrub your face. I used cetaphyll to gently wash my face. Post facial I had these small brown spots that looked like dirt and they slowly came off within a few days.

Day of treatment

Had IPL today

Im post treatment 6 hours. I have no redness. I felt nothing during my IPL. No "zaps". She is the sweetest nicest lady and I understand she was being conservative to not burn me. Maybe the settings were too low for my skin type. Disappointe

2nd appointment

ChelseaMartinSmallNovember 9, 2015

I talked to Julie of my concerns and she is totally awesome. She wanted to try my first IPL at a low setting. I have another appointment with her on Tuesday to go for the higher setting. I will post photos and keep updated. I will be getting an IPL from her every time I'm in sc which is every few months. I really like her. She makes you feel very comfortable talking with her
