I have dark spots (hyperpigmentation) caused by years of sun damage and now that I'm getting up in years, age spots, as well.
I read about IPL and decided to get it. Asia, the nice lady, who performed the procedure was very informative and explained each step. The laser felt like rubber band snaps, but it was tolerable. After each side, she'd roll a large ball of ice to cool the burning sensation. Right after the IPL, my face looked and felt like a really intense sunburn. This lasted lasted about 1 1/2 hours. I drove him and watched tv and fell asleep. The next morning I looked horrible, as you can see from my day 1 photo post-IPL. I was slightly swollen also. I think the first 3-days were when I looked the worse, but felt fine. It took a full 7 days before I saw the full results and I'm very satisfied with the results.
I purchased 3 IPL's total. I'm happy with my first session. I'll have my second session in a couple weeks and I'm really looking forward to seeing even more positive results.

I waited 4 weeks before I had my second IPL. I just had my second session on April 8, so I'm unsure of the results yet.

Do you have any photos? Also, where did you have this done? I will be in that area soon and would love a referral!

I just posted a couple of photos. I had this done at Serene Medical Aesthetics, located at 2603 Bridgeport Way W. in University Place. Ask for Asia at 253-353-7787 and you can use my name, Lillian, as a referral.

Hi, do you mind telling me how long did you had your dark spots for? I'm Asian and had my dark spots for over 15 years. Since Asian skin is hard to treat, I'm really hopeful after I read your post. How was your 2nd treatment? Thanks!

I seen you have $200 in your profile for the cost of the treatment. I wanted to know if that's the price for each session or for your three sessions you purchase as you mentioned?
