Skin Care Review: IPL

by Tina Wilson, CA

Rating
Good

Benefits
Good results in just one treatment.

Drawbacks
Numbing gel takes awhile to work and then wear off.

Details
The procedure was painless but I can see there could be problems if not done correctly. The Dr. numbed my face with a numbing gel. Then the wand of the laser was placed on my face while different laser intensity levels were tested. I'm assuming for pain threshold validation and effectiveness. I was warned that I should note if it was painful but I was fine and found myself to be quite relaxed. It took awhile for the numbing to wear off - but it didn't impact any activity and I noted lighter skin and the small lines were diminished.

Conclusions
I'm happy with just one session, though I will go back for more.

Price (paid by reviewer)
$1250 for 6 or $250 each
