Belledep, what is your ethnicity? I don’t think you’re a good candidate for IPL if your pigmentation is worse. There are better lasers out there to achieve your results.

Got 2 spots on my cheeks done for 5 times , and it's not going away but made it worse and bigger ! Very regretting it! Bough some obagi brand retin A and bleaching cream and been using them for 3 months, nothing lighten up either.,I should just be happy with the two light spot in my face instead if two big brown blobs , I may look into fraxel laser since I tried it before and it does work a little!!!

Please stay away from lasers !! Too risky. Good luck.

I agree. I'm even scared to get IPL done for redness, even though it's not a laser. But I REALLY want it done, so i'll do a bunch of research & just hope & pray for the best outcome.

It is a safe treatment if you go to a reputable place. Go to a plastic surgeon. Don't buy a groupon

True.No matter how experienced they claim to be the therapist will turn a blind eye to all your problems eventually...

I too had a bad outcome from IPL (read my review). What they don't tell you, and should, is that it is well known that IPL often makes melasma WORSE. I encourage you to file a report with the FDA at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/ucm053074.htm
Doing so helps improve the state of medical knowledge about this procedure, and may encourage the authorities to demand that the device makers invest some $ into making these devices safer.

Try a chemical peel. Maybe Vi peel or skin medica rejuvenize. You should never use ipl on Asian skin. The Esthetician should have known better.

IPL issues is also correct. IPL will make melisma worse. You only use Chemical peels or fractionated laser for melasma.

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. It will help with melasma, acne scars or fine lines and wrinkles

Are you working with doctor who doing laser? If you can give me advise about how strong I have to go with my skin problems!!!
December 17, 2014
Yes I work under a plastic surgeon. It all depends, if you go more aggressive you will have more downtime but achieve your end goal faster. It's all up to you. What is it your trying to accomplish
I have tried everything under the sun for my problem and now I finally found a solution.
