I have had 3 IPL (harmony laser) treatments so far costing me altogether almost $1K and I am not happy. I have another treatment which is supposed to be the last one in 4 weeks.
Ok so here's what I am pissed off about...
The reason i got the IPL was for pigmentation on my left cheek in particular and after the first treatment she told me that it would initially darken freckles and then they would "lift out" or something. I asked her if i definately wouldnt be left with darker looking freckles - under my eyes coz they werent even visible before the treatment and she assured me "no we wouldnt do that to you".
well last time (third treatment) i said to her that the freckles under my eyes are very visible and she said "well we wont be able to get rid of the freckles completely"
wtf????? i am so unhappy with this response. there were no noticable freckles under my eyes, now the laser darkened them and they are visible and she is basically saying i will be left with this!!!
I signed a disclaimer before the initial treatment saying that results cant be promised etc so i dont know where that leaves me.
i think there is a possibility that she has used the wrong type of laser on me and this is why it hasn't worked. i think my pigmentation was hormonal - caused by the pill coz I have not had much sun exposure so i dont think it's sun damage. in this case i think the harmony laser - from what i have read is not as effective on hormonal pigmentation.
should i have the final treatment and see what happens? it's another $360 which i am not too fazed about but i am not sure what to do.
i am not the most assertive person but i think i should complain to her when i have the appointment? what should i say?
