Callei ipl not for melasma

Thank God! I went to see a dermatologist two weeks ago. As many of you advised he did RX Tri-luma and my pigmentation has improved tremendously! I can say IPL was a horrific nightmare for treating my melisma. People need to be careful not to jump into receiving from these machines without doing their research first and make sure there is a doctor in the clinic!!! Thank you for all your advise. I will post pictures soon.

Afraid Nightmare is reality

After my last visit 2/26/15 which was low intensity due to my anxiety and concerns increase hyperpigmentation. After treatments she verbalized my skin was not reacting to treatment as it should be I began to the replaying conversations with nurse Laura. Her comparing ipl results of my face to her back ipl results ! OMG! She has no clue with what she is doing ! I am going to see dermatology. If dr prescribes bleaching creams I have told they are not covered by insurance n are vey expensive. This is treatment number 5 she said she gave 60+ pulses. I pray that I can reverse damage.

She is informative- explained procedure n how it worked. She answers questions sincerely but at times felt she went in circles. I heard confidence in her and made me feel she knew what she was doing I just don't see improvement. Throughout visits she gave me reassurance kept me hopeful but actually only made my condition worse by continuing treatment. I don't recommend IPL to anyone especially TO FACE if condition being treated is melasma.
