IPL Treatment

I have gone through IPL treatments (thanks to the hubs) during my skin consultation with a beauty consultant from Assata. What is IPL treatment by the way? It is a treatment called Intensed Pulsed Light treatment and is also known as photorejuvenation or photofacial treatment. I have read reviews that says it zaps the skin and it hurts or give you that burning pain but so far, for me, I didn't experience all those. Maybe my beauty specialist knew not to use too strong an IPL for me? I'm not really sure. One of my friends told me I looked younger (that's from seeing me after a couple of years). But also, I just trimmed my hair before meeting her so I wasn't that sure if it's because of IPL treatment or my newly trimmed hair.

Anyways, when I went to Bobbi Brown just to check out their products, the lady who was in charge told me my skin looked dehydrated. And I thought my skin should have improved by now after undergoing IPL treatment?

What are the side effects of IPL treatment?

I have read some reviews and most of them said they suffer from redness for the next 24 hours and that's about it. Does it cause Mesothelioma cancer? Definitely not as the major cause of Mesothelioma cancer is exposure to asbestos. According to studies, it does replace collagen so it's good for anti-aging treatment.

I just can't believe I am doing all this anti-aging thingy now. I feel that I am too young to be doing that. But my face apparently needed that, so... and my husband is so supportive about it.

I just hope there's no long term side effect of IPL treatment.
