Skin Care Provider Review: Belle Visage Spa

submitted by J Lytle, North Hollywood, CA, USA

Provider Facility
Belle Visage Spa

Treatment
IPL

Address / Location:
13207 Ventura Blvd
Studio City, CA 91604, United States

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
Greatly reduced redness from rosacea. Most broken capillaries were eliminated.

Drawbacks
Takes a few weeks for scabs from zapped capillaries to heal.

Details
RN does the procedure. Initial consultation ($25 - can be applied to your first treatement) was very thorough, and all questions were answered. Very clean and calming environment.

Results of IPL: Redness immediately improved, number of broken capillaries were reduced - does take a few weeks for all scabs from where the capillaries were "zapped" to heal. Overall skin texture much smoother. RN also performed a light dermaplane before procedure, and a light facial massage after. I have a mild case of rosacea, so I didn't have to go back for 4 months for a follow up treatment.

PDF available on their website for follow-up care, in addition to a hand out provided after procedure, which is great. Belle Visage's website is very informative about the procedures and has before/after photos, so you can see what type of results can be expected.

There was no pressure to have other procedures done, which I appreciate.

Overall, a nice experience. Also, FYI, this procedure does not hurt much. The actual IPL is just light. The laser used to "zap" (collapse) capillaries can be slightly uncomfortable, with no residual pain.

Conclusions
I would recommend IPL at Belle Visage because of the things noted above.

Price (paid by reviewer)
$250.00
