Skin Care Provider Review: Dr. Howard Sofen, MD

submitted by Colleen B, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Provider (individual)
Dr. Howard Sofen, MD

Provider Facility

Treatment
IPL

Address / Location:
Sepulveda Blvd and La Tijera Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90045, United States

Rating
Good

Benefits
Brown/age spots were 90-100% resolved in areas treated.

Drawbacks
Spots darkened initially for several weeks, needed extra make up to cover

Details
I think my skin looks better overall due to less brown spots and spider capillaries around my nose. THe procedure is mildly uncomfortable, 15 min total, and I was ready to stop. The tiny zapping sensation gets irritating. I will definitely do it again. At age 50, I will need about 4-5 more treatments to really even my skin tone. I have fair skin with many light brown spots, so one treatment was more an encouragment to do more, not enough that others would notice improvement. People did ask what I had done, the brown spots darkened alot, and were noticeable despite make up.

Conclusions
It is worth the discomfort, and questions. I will definitely do more treatments

Price (paid by reviewer)
$300.00
