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 second treatment
Went for my second session of IPL today.
The laser was turned up a little from the setting of the first treatment. I think the Dr said from 32 to 34.
This time, I took advantage of the numbing cream provided by the Dr and applied a small amount about 30 minutes beforehand.
This time, the zaps hurt! Even with the cream. I seem especially sensitive on my forehead and nose. The Dr said this is common as the skin there is thinner and close to the bone. Whatever the reason...ouch!
But still, so worth it . My favorite part is looking in the mirror and see no more broken capillaries...immediately.
Thanks Dr.Phan

Going back for a second treatment in a week
My Doctor recommended waiting four weeks between IPL sessions.
Until then I am using a retinoid cream at night and sunscreen during the day.
Still at 40% fade
That is pretty good for a twenty minute treatment!

Five days after initial IPL treatment
Four days after my first IPL treatments, the pigmented spots have fallen off. Yippee!
I will be going for a second treatment to address the spots that remain.
To clarify, the sun spots have faded by about 40%. At the initial consultation, I was told 3-5 treatments for full fading.
After reading lots of IPl reviews on this site, I notice that the second treatment (where the laser is turned up higher) is where a lot of people experience negative side effects.
I wonder what setting the Dr. will recommend.
