I had IPl for dark spots that have bothered me for years now.
I have used some lightening creams that I bought over the counter and have tried all sorts of facials from various different spas until I went to The MaxAesthetics Skin spa In Philadelphia and IPL photo facial was recommended to me as the best option for a quick removal of my spots.
immediately after the treatment, My spots started to look darker and a bit raised and my skin felt tingly as Maxine ( the Skin care tech) explained it would be.
I also looked a bit flushed for about 30 minutes on day 1
I am so excited about the end result .
It was explained to me that within a week my spots should be all peeled off my face.
I will update as my skin improves.
Attached is my first day after the IPL Photo facial

Maxine At MaxAesthetics was the best in the way she explained the entire process to me and explained what to expect and what to expect at my follow up. I am considering also getting the Laser for broken capillaries on my face
