Avatar m tn they also had another goggle which it was not see through but she told me she used that only for IPL not laser! I have my treatment in a week but I am not sure if it is safe or not! Can I use IPL goggle which is not see through?
Avatar n tn i dont even like drink. but the question i wanted to ask you is about all these new laser treatments that are gonna "cure" the problem. several years ago i went to a doctor, i live in belfast who used the ipl treatment (cooling gel and elastic band snap) and he told me that i would be left with white clear vein free skin, but i wasnt. he took a before picture. after about 9 treatments and £1000.00 later no change to my face.
Avatar m tn I decided to undergo a course of IPL hair removal treatments in an attempt to solve the problem, however it appears to have increased the hair growth. I had 10 sessions of IPL whereby the laser was directed on the shaft of my penis. I have now become extremely worried that I may have damaged my penis because I am observing the following things.
Avatar f tn I have had the very same experience--a hyperpigmented upper lip as a direct result of laser hair removal (I had IPL). I had originally gone to the laser clinic to treat two small sunspots--one on either cheek, which honestly, never really even bothered me that much but that I thought might clear up a bit with some IPL treatment. (When I think back on how little research I did at the time, I am horrified.
Avatar f tn I would strongly suggest you google "IPL and Laser Damage Support". Then read all about what lasers have done to others. Not just immediate damage, but 1-3 yrs down the road as well. You'll need to start looking for answers to heal the dermis, epidermis and deeper damage now, so that you may stave off any damage that could 'pop' up years after a laser treatment.
Avatar m tn On January 4 2011 I had an IPL laser treatment done under my eyes to help reduce dark circles, the skin is very thin due to damage from sun exposure. The next day, my left eye started twitching on the bottom corner lid of the eye near the nose. I ignored it and attributed it to stress, but after a month with no let up I called my dermatologist and was assured these non ablative lasers cannot penetrate deeply enough to cause any nerve damage. So I let it go.
Avatar f tn I am on 200mg of lamictal and am keen to try ipl hair removal. Beautician thinks the lamictal in my system might cause bad side effects such as blistering. Has anyone had experiences with this hair removal treatment whilst taking this med?
Avatar m tn Hello, Apart from laser treatment, if these are capillary telangiectasia, then photothermal coagulation with laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) is employed and if these are venous telangiectasia, sclerotherapy can be employed. Please discuss these treatment modes with your dermatologist and check out the type of telangiectasia that you are having. I hope it helps. take care and regards.
Avatar m tn Light technology is ever changing, but the last time I checked (six months or so ago), IPL (intense pulse light) was often recommended as a "first line" light treatment for redness. IPL is technically not a laser and sometimes goes under many terms such as "photo facial". In order to be effective you need around six treatments spread out over several months if I remember correctly.
Avatar f tn I have recently had fraxel refine treatment done on two scars. I have just been reading about a lady who had treatment done and then 1-2 years later her face is a mess (http://www.realself.com/review/do-not-do-fraxel-ruined-face-burns. ) I am really scared now. Does fraxel cause damage that may not show tell sometime later. Or is her case rare. Same with IPL is this safe?
Avatar f tn Hi, 'Laser treatment for melasma - A Wood's lamp test should be used to determine whether the melasma is epidermal or dermal. If the melasma is dermal, laser (or "IPL") will acually DARKEN and worsen the appearance of the spots. Dermal melasma is generally unresponsive to most treaments, and has only been found to lighten with products containing mandelic acid. In all treatments for melasma the effects are gradual and a strict avoidance of sunlight is required.
Avatar m tn IPl or laser - You could try this however it could be an idea to give oral meds a try and let your skin have a few more months time to try and recover/lessen inflammation level before pursueing this avenue. I only say this because IPL has had a backlash effect on a couple post-accutane flushers.
647391 tn?1275016633 If they are to be removed for cosmetic reasons, electrosurgery and cryosurgery can be used. More recently pulsed dye laser or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment are also used. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Avatar n tn ve seen different therapies available, but I am not sure which one I should be looking for (i.e. IPL / Fraxel Laser... There were other laser types but I am not sure.) Different places have different treatments and I just wanted to have a better idea what might remove this single flat mole, and cause minimal to no discoloration if removed. Please guide me to the direction and type of professional I should look for.
1171751 tn?1265889823 After one more IPL, my doctor is thinking about stepping up to Deep FX, which is a much more powerful laser treatment. However, I may have to deal with some pigmentation side effects there as well. I'm not a doctor, so I obviously can't guarantee these will work for your son but they may be worth talking to the doctor about. I actually started my own thread asking for other treatment options for myself.
Avatar f tn I also have sun spots and have tried everything from ipl laser treatment, skin lightener from derm, vitamin e cream too much too list but i got a sample from my sister of a spot treatment called vichy proeven spot correcter and just from a sample pack have noticed a difference spots are alot lighter you should try it. Good luck.
Avatar m tn I went to a private clinic to ask about IPL treatment and I as very tempted to have it. They were charging £250 per session; It's very expensive but I would pay anything for a better complexion. I would really like some advice about the treatment and whether you think it is worth it and will I see a noticeable difference to my complexion? Would the laser surgery remove the hairs from my face? Many thanks for your time.
