IPL second treatment
LanaiLadySeptember 4, 2013
WORTH IT$350
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
LanaiLadyAugust 18, 2013
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.
