This is a while after IPL treatment for sun spots on my legs. As you can see nothing has changed. Then after picture I had before was not an accurate representation of how my legs looked because they were tan. Here is one with no tan.

I had IPL treatments on my legs to remove sunspots...

I had IPL treatments on my legs to remove sunspots the first week of April. Nothing changed from the knee down, but my thighs got red burns on them for at least 1 month. They have peeled off and I have permanent discoloration where the burns were. I hope these eventually fade. The spots on my thighs did eventually peel off.

Technician was friendly, but I'm not certain she had enough experience. The 1st treatment there was no change. She said the laser had a "life" and it was at its end stage so she re-treated me 5 wks later for free. This was my 2nd treatment.
