    Default ipl laser for freckles

    i got the ipl laser treatment on my face today to remove freckles and redness so i dont have to wear as much foundation 24/7! it hurt pretty bad. it was a snapping red laser light on my face every couple seconds. she went over a couple spots two or even three times. it left me very red and a little swollen, feeling like a sunburn which i put ice on. and its been about 3 hours and it doesnt hurt at all anymore. still red though.

    the good thing is she said i only needed one treatment and maybe a touch up treatment down the line if i got more freckles over time, but they would only cost 50 dollars compared to the 400 for today.

    ill keep this updated with the progress over the next few days if you guys want. apparently, the freckles are supposed to get darker and come to the surface of the skin then flake off. sounds gross to me so i took a couple days off work.

    i also did my first treatment of laser hair removal which was an entire brazilian. which hurt much less but still some sensitive spots.(im sure you can guess which ones)

    she said i would need 6 treatments for the hair to completely go away spacing each treatment about 4weeks apart. this was 300 a treatment, or a package of 6 for 1500 saving 300 or getting a treatment free, so i did the package. i can update the progress on this as well if you guys want.

    I'm going to give you a heads up this should not hurt. My ex wife has been doing this for sun spots, growing up in Fl. & in fact I'm giving her a gift certificate for a session for CX & she was very worried before hand. She works in a club & has everybody giving her advise about her skin but she meet a Doctor who does this treatment. Just do your homework.
