    Default IPL for freckles: Riped-off?? (bringonthemen?)

    So, I just got an IPL from a medical spa nurse.
    They used Cutera XEO system, and I got 10 J/cm2... my freckles got darker but not by much. 15 min after it was over, I couldn't even feel it. Now, two days later, it still feels like...i got nothing done..my freckles are slightly darker but that is it.

    I bought a series of 3 treatments and felt like I got 30-40 light-pulses around my face, they skipped my forehead even though it's darker. i counted. But, the nurse wrote down 80 pulses....

    So...

    I'm wondering, maybe they are doing lower pulses BC I bought 3 packages?
    I want fast results! I dont have time to drive that far....for lower power treatments when 2 strong ones could have sufficed (and I would get my money back)

    it stung only a little bit...I have light, olive skin (i am mostly asian, little bit of spanish and polynesian)..with freckles....

    Should I have gone higher? DId they lie to me on the # of pulses?

    No. In fact, I think that this procedure was totally useless for you, since I think you should had kept your freckles; you know what I would give to have freckles again?! I had tons as a little girl but they had vanished with time...and I miss them.

    Feel happy that you have them.
