I have scheduled a facial with the same aesthetician who did my first IPL so that she can assess my skin and administer a personalized facial. My aftercare/ home care has been on point but I think I will need a few more treatments to truly even out my skin tone.

I had two I P L treatments at Loughheed Lazer Centre in Coquitlam. I have some cherry anginoma's and veins on my face I don't like. I've had two I P L treatments so far spaced out 7 weeks apart. To be honest, I don't see a whole lot of difference. One of my cherry spots is gone but the veins by my nose and the bigger cherry spot are still there.

I purchased a package of six but I will go back for one more and if I still don't see a change I will get a refund for the others.

I also got Juvederm in my lips and lower jaw and chin area plus botox in the D L's I think they call it cause the corners of my lips draw down. I've been real happy with that. I would highly recommend Dr. Marcia Fleming. She is so nice and down to earth and the whole staff there are really friendly. The place is nice and clean too.

I was a little worried about how I would look out I public after having IPL done.
Day one with Makeup application looks like this for me....
My under eye area feels puffy and I'm pink but I think it's manageable.
Don't forget the sunscreen!

Have you noticed any changes to the texture of your skin that's bad I.e large pores, pin needles, etc?

I'm so glad it went well for you ando thank you for posting your progress. Can you tell me what kind of laser your aesthetician used?
I recently had IPL 2 days ago for rosecea and brown spots and have found my cheeks to be quite puffy, almost "chipmunk" like. I'm hoping it will go down soon and my skin is fairly tight.

Hey there -- noticed your comment about red wine giving you rosacea. Thought you might want to do some searching into histamine intolerance, as I have the same issue and it totally disappeared after going on a low histamine diet. Wish someone had tipped me off to this earlier, because it took me years of searching, food journalling, elimination dieting, etc. to figure this out! Hope you IPL results turned out great -- I'm going for mine next week!
