IPL Permanent Damages
facialdamageawarenessNovember 11, 2024
IPL (Nordlys) is an extremely harmful treatment that has severely and permanently damaged me. I have severe fat atrophy, scarring, indents, chronic inflammation and pain in my entire face and eyes. It has also triggered a systemic reaction in my body since damages are spreading. People should be aware of something called “thermal bystander effect”. Damages started over 3 years ago shortly after the treatment and has progressively just been getting worse and worse over time. This is a treatment that has ruined my life since I can no longer work, sleep or have a social life due to the pain I’m in constantly, a hypersensitive skin, and strong anxiety of getting a completely botched face. The clinic take no responsibly whatsoever even though damages are very visible. Manufacturers of these procedures aren’t interested when damages occur and will do everything to protect themselves and these horrible procedures. I’ve learnt the hard way how disgusting this skin / beauty industry is!
Heat and energy devices are extremely harmful and unpredictable, even in “the right hands”. These devices can be extremely harmful (fat atrophy, collagen depletion and scarring, nerve damages, chronic inflammation, eye damages etc), and can trigger autoimmune responses in your body and damages will go systemic. It doesn’t matter if you go to a “skilled” provider, there is no way of knowing how deep the heat actually will go or how your body will handle the trauma. Providers claim they can’t cause fat atrophy and are “safe” which is not true. You can potentially end up with far more issues than what you previously had and will forever regret having anything done.

I’m so sorry this happened to you! How many treatments did you have? Was considering for acne scarring. TY

Only one as a “facial”. This was done at a professional clinic.
Please stay away from light/heat treatments since they can cause so much permanent damage. I would recommend people considering RF, Lasers, IPL to visit this support group on Facebook -> Facial Damage from Radiofrequency and Laser Support Group

I have so much fat atrophy, scarring, chronic inflammation and pain. I can’t even wash my face any longer because my skin is so hypersensitive and chronically dehydrated. It’s difficult to live a normal life when pain is so intense and your face and skin is so ruined
