Skin Care Review: Photoderm IPL

by Anonymous

Rating
Satisfactory

Benefits
Removal of broken capillaries via photoderm (laser) treatment.

Drawbacks
Can be painful, and not all broken capillaries removed in one treatment.

Details
Involves small laser pulses against face/body.

Each laser pulse intended to disperse broken capillaries, but this is not always successful. Practitioner may have to hit the same area more than once.

Swelling, redness, bruising after procedure. Approx 1 day for redness & swelling to subside. Approx 7-10 days for bruising & broken capillaries to be gone.

Can be quite painful. Meant to feel like a rubber band hitting your face but its definately more painful than that. Imagine a red hot rubber band instead!

My skin - Fair/fragile Cost - $180 AU for up to 20 hits.

Conclusions
Satisfactory treatment. Can be expensive and not all broken capillaries go in first treatment.
