Procedure: IPL Skin Rejuvenation
Why you chose this procedure? I chose to do the IPL skin rejuvenation because I had some sun spots and broken capillaries on my face.What you did to get ready for procedure? I avoided fake tan and sun tanning 2 weeks before my treatment.
What you felt during the procedure: The skin technician put a cold gel on my cheek – it felt like ultrasound gel, then when the treatment started it felt like a hot ‘lacky’ band flicking back at my skin. There was a bright light with each pulse and the combination of the flicking sensation and the bright light made me flinch, the treatment stung a bit but was very quick which made it tolerable.
What you felt/saw post procedure: Straight after the treatment my face felt hot like sunburn and I had some skin redness, the day after the treatment most of the redness had gone however all my freckles and sunspots looked darker almost black, it looked like I had rubbed tea leaves all over my face, this took about 5-7 days to clear. I found it quiet easy to cover it up with make-up.
Results: After my skin cleared it looked much more even. I even noticed my pores looked smaller. I think I will need a few more treatments for my capillaries and a couple of sunspots but I am very impressed so far.
Recommendations: Use the ice that they give you after the treatment it helped that sunburn feeling go away.
