just wondering if anyone has tried the intense pulse light treatments? And is it worth investing into getting sessions done?
I tried it today and i am unsure of what to expect, if i should continue. Does anyone know what the results can be like?

I have done Photofacials..The results are very good but, my face hurt alot afterwards and during. I take a Vicodin before my appointment and it helps alot. They also apply "numbing" cream which helps.
Expect some peeling (if you have sun damage) and my face tends to really hurt by the evening. You also want to wear big hats to protect your face and high spf sunscreen.

thanks. how many times did u have to go before seeing any results? does it help with fine lines? I had it done around my eyes today i really dont see much difference. They used another machine i think it was called radiance or something,she said it was on extreme makeover. do all the machines work the same? My doc is getting this one and it was free demos today.
My sister is doing this in June. I'm curiouse too.

Well, I did see a difference with the first treatment. However my Dr. recommends 5 sessions for the optimum (ms?) results

My friend who did it said it felt like a rubber band popped across the face repeatedly. Apparently it hurts worse on large pores, and even worse for anyone who has to shave their face, like men......
What age should that start? I'm 27 and don't have wrinkles but a little furrow is developing between my brows from all that deep thinking that I do, hehehe!

so i guess the old machines are better huh? my face did not peel either. I really dont want to waste much money on this. My doc got a new machine,so i dont know if the good or bad!

Oh, I forgot to add... Kat is right the procedure does feel like rubber bands are pooping you. The only difference is they are hot..lol
I really liked my results but, I suggest doing it when you have a few days off from work.
Sapphire, I just read your post..where do you live where they have these great prices ?

YEs, thay are excatly what Michelle mentioned. Usually closer to $500, there are a few specials going on right now.
I forgot to mention I had to purchase a "lightening" creme called Hydroquinone 6% Creme and Lidocaine 5% Topical Creme to numb the skin before and after the procedure.

Yeah saphire the new ones have radio waves its uppose to make the light travel deeper.The place by me that has this machine is charging like 500 a session.It is cheap were you are Iam wondering if what they are advertising isnt the infared machine its also called a photo facial or ligh treatment but is a red infared or led light works but not as well.You will find these in estheticains offices ecause only nurses doctors or derms can do real photo facials because they can burn you.I had the red light done it worke ok but was 100 a session and they tried to get you to have micro with it.Here a real photo facial with micro would run like minimum 600 a treatment.Farah I would love to have doctor bitters work on me but I live too far away damn.Florida is way too expensive because there isnt alot of places with the machines.
