Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

IPL Caused Nerve Damage and Fat Loss
I had 2 IPL sessions to treat my MGD by an ophthalmologist, (the assumption being destroying the superficial blood vessels that feed the inflammation will help reduce the inflammation, and the heat to help with the oil production and liquefying in the glands) the second treatment resulted in a 3 month long swelling that has finally subsided fairly recently, I am however left from day 1 with pain, burning sensations, skin pulling sensation, intense sensitivity to touch, tingling, sudden bursts of warmth in specific areas and after having the swelling subside what appears to be fat loss/volume loss.
My facial shape has changed, my temples seem
To be the most effected and my cheeks are practically flat now.
I read the reviews yet decided to go through with it anyways under the assumption that there are side effects to everything.
Do not do it, the nerve pain can last up until 2 years and so is the time For my skin barrier to heal.
I am 4 months out and I still can’t sleep on the left side of my face because for a strange reason that makes the right side of my face feel like there’s an elephant sitting on it.
I am 25.
