    Default IPL/laser removal for freckles...anyone tried it?

    Sooo...I look like an 80-year-old with leprosy due to the mounds of hideous freckles covering my entire face. Seriously, it looks like I have some kind of nasty skin disease. MAC Full Coverage works for the club, but it'd be nice to not have to spackle myself just to look like I have normal skin. I'm seriously thinking about laser removal.

    Anyone here tried it (specifically for hyperpigmentation)? How well did it work? How many treatments did you need? How much did it cost? (I'm looking into cost for various places around here, but I want to get an idea of what's normal/average to pay.)

    And most importantly...did the spots come back the second you stepped into the sun? I tried a prescription cream once, and it seemed to be working really well...until I went to a water park. And I was obsessive about re-applying heavy-duty sunblock...but still, by the end of the day the freckles came back even darker than before. I would hate to spend a lot of money on IPL only to have them sprout again as soon as I spent a day outside. (I wear sunscreen everyday, even if I'm just going to school or whatever...but it didn't seem to make a difference at the park. Bah.)

    And for those of you reading this and thinking "but freckles are so cute!"...feel free to ask me to post pictures that will prove otherwise.

    ^^ hahaha....actually...I was looking through all the pics on my computer, and there are none of me without tons of cover-up on. Would take one now to prove the hideousness, but I don't have a camera anymore.

    eh...take my word for it...it looks awful.

    If your freckles are from the sun then IPL will deliver excellent results. It will darken the freckles at first (so dont be alarmed) and then they will lift out. If it's hormonal pigmentation then I suggest u use a lightening serum such as Cosmedix:

    I've used this one for hormonal pigmentation and it's excellent, it's really faded the brown spots.

    There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.
