WORTH IT
I was super scared after reading so many conflicting views about IPL. Well, I am not scared anymore, I am stoked!! As a side note, I am an esthetician, but I have not practiced in several years.
Info on me:
32 year old female, Sicilian and N. Italian descent, dark auburn hair and hazel eyes. Never tanned outside but tanned in a bed on and off in my twenties.
Skin Regimen:
clear all natural cleanser, vit c and hyluranic acid serum, korres under eye cream, elta md tinted spf, temanu oil.
Reaction:
It was a little more painful then I expected. The 'orange peel' skin people talk about did happen to me but it only lasted 24ish hours. My skin was warm for 6 hours and it was never red or tender.
I will update with future sessions but so far I AM LOVING IT!!!

I do see improved skin clarity. I too want to do IPL but the negative reviews are scaring me. Please post more on your progress.

This looks like a great result. What brand is the IPL machine?

May I ask the cost?

Was it crazy bright? I had mine done today and It wasn’t painful just extremely bright which made me scared.

I was in the same boat, I read sooo many crazy stories about orange peel skin and fat loss. Was really on the fence about having IPL.
I have been in for multiple IPL sessions, including face, and they have all resulted in decreased pigmentation, no bad side effects. I go to a physician with years of training, and am fair skinned, these are contributing factors for good results.
