IPL Photofacial Before and After - IS IT WORTH IT?

[@MaryHandel-t4i]

Your skin looks fabulous after just one treatment! I'd love to see the results after the 3rd! I have an appointment this Friday for the first of three treatments. Your candid video was very helpful in preparing me. Thanks!

[@RashmiJ-u3k]

Please do share the after results of July and August IPL too. Great video. Really nice

[@tamararingler1222]

Great results! Your skin looks fabulous!

[@Allthingsfadra]

Thank you so much!

[@JoshuaMcKnight-g7v]

Excellent video-love how candid and naturally you documented your experience. The changes are very apparent imo! You mentioned you felt it youthened your skin and I want to say I thought the same thing while watching! Cant wait to see ur updated results with more treatments. Im going to get this done as well, you sold me!

[@lbt3671]

Thanks for sharing your results! Your skin looks great! Very helpful review. Looking forward to seeing the next IPL session results! :)

[@Allthingsfadra]

I completed 3 sessions and I’d say o my the first one had a dramatic difference I saw some difference with the second but nothing at all with the third.

[@TK-jg1nx]

@@Allthingsfadrais it still worth it? Does the pigmentation come back?

[@Allthingsfadra]

@@TK-jg1nx I think that my skin could probably benefit from another single treatment every 2-3 years but overall I'm still VERY pleased with the results and I'm much more diligent about my sunscreen!

[@Bella-nk4wt]

Your skin looks gorgeous! I wanna get this done.

[@erinpeterson9489]

Yes. I also purchased a 3 pack of IPL treatments. My first one is in 10 days and I found your video very helpful. I can see the significant improvement in your skin. Being Irish, I get freckles too. Can’t wait to see the results after your 3 IPL.😮

[@privateGOAWAY24]

How did your ipl go???

[@erinpeterson9489]

I never had them. They thought I was more of a candidate for the C02 Laser which I was already thinking about. It’s very strong and requires a lot of downtime. I think 2-3 weeks and you’ll look like a burn victim. You have to apply Aquaphor all day and avoid the Sun like the plague. The great news is, for me anyway, it’s ONE treatment and Done. That really appeals to me.

[@shinebrightcreations]

@@erinpeterson9489how was it? Why were you more suited for that trestment instead of ipl?

[@christinaf5267]

Thanks so much for posting this, you had fabulous results!! I was looking into getting an IPL facial just the other day. And yes, please post the results from your 2nd and third treatment, great video and super informative. Thanks again

[@Allthingsfadra]

I thought I had responded but just in case I didn’t… the second treatment barely made a difference and the third, I saw no difference. All of the major changes came after the first treatment only and I’m thrilled with the changes!

[@mariemillie3099]

Thanks for sharing! I'm going in for my first treatment this coming Friday and was a bit nervous until I watched your video. Would love to see the after pics on the 3rd treatment

[@Allthingsfadra]

I saw really great improvement with the first treatment. With the second, I saw very slight improvement and with the third, none at all. One treatment would have been fine for me. And the effects are lasting!

[@kristenroo9821]

I would love to see your results after the 2nd and 3rd treatments. Was it worth the additional treatments, being that the 1st one was so effective?

[@Allthingsfadra]

The second one was about 2 months later and I saw very minor improvements and then I had the 3rd one a month after that and saw zero changes. I didn’t end up doing a video because there wasn’t anything to show. But the first one was totally worth it!

[@Weissmjm1]

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing! I have an IPL scheduled for Thursday and now I'm so nervous. Your results are incredible though and I won't cancel my appointment. hehe

[@Allthingsfadra]

It made a huge difference after the first session. Honestly, not much improvement for the second or third but it was worth the discomfort!

[@blayzeebert7384]

Thankyou for this excellent , honest and clear video. It was really helpful in my researching of whether the IPL treatment would be good for me. You look great now and would be interested to see if a second and third treatment would make any further difference...

[@Allthingsfadra]

I would say the second visit gave me some slight improvements and I saw none at all with the third. One session was amazing for me!

[@Joannabanana1989]

How much was your IPL? It costs $600 per treatment here in Pittsburgh. Wondering what the going rate is elsewhere! I thought that was high.

[@Allthingsfadra]

I checked back in with the place I got it done and it was crazy expensive. Maybe $1000 for one treatment? I bought this during a Mother’s Day sale and got 3 treatments for $800.

[@JennGonzo]

thank you for this video!! helps so much:)

[@Itheo378]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! You look great!

[@lilliearvizu9447]

Thank you for sharing. I will also be getting the same treatment. How long did the face swelling last and how soon can you wear makeup with face powder? Thank you! Your face does look much better. 😊

[@Allthingsfadra]

I think the swelling was only for 2-3 days. And you’ll notice it more than anyone else will. I think you’ll want to be gentle with your skin for the first week. You can definitely wear makeup. Just be gentle with removing it.

[@lilliearvizu9447]

@@AllthingsfadraHi! Had the IPL yesterday and this morning my face and neck, especially my face is super red and swollen and of course itchy! I’m using the Copper peptide mask that I leave on for 20 minutes, wipe it off and use Alastin Regenerating skin nector plus aquaphor to keep it moisturized. I’m also taking Benadryl for the swelling, redness and itching. I feel very uncomfortable. Didn’t sleep at all last night because of the itching. I don’t know if this was worth doing the procedure. Supposedly it takes three to five days for the swelling, redness to go away. Using ice pack as well but seems like it causes more itching just putting it on my face and neck! 😢 I’ll let you know how things are tomorrow if you’re you or someone else is interested 😅 by the way , your skin is looking great! 😊

[@ShannonTheRedhead]

Hi did you do Lumecca and do you know what # frequency they used ? You look amazing

[@Allthingsfadra]

I did not do Lumecca and they couldn’t even tell me the frequency! Normally you’re supposed to do increasing frequency for each visit. For mine, they did the same for visits 1&2 and higher for visit 3.

[@kellyfraser3163]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience 😊 you look great! By the way, love Marmalade 😂 🐶

[@Allthingsfadra]

Thanks! It’s been several months and I’m still really pleased with my skin.

[@karenl9601]

Are you still using Riversol?

I had a Groupon for an IPL facial. It didn’t hurt at all during or after- did I get ripped off?!

[@Allthingsfadra]

I wouldn't say you got ripped off but there are many types of IPL at different wavelengths. Some are better for brown spots, some are better for red. The biggest thing is - did you see a difference?

[@vanik4813]

your skin looks great

[@Allthingsfadra]

Thanks - I'm happy with the results!

[@joanaAnez]

Try korean sunscreen. Very easy application and moisturizing. My skin got alot better after wearing sunscreen everyday

[@Allthingsfadra]

Ooh, I’ll look into that! Right now, I’m using La Roche-Posay serum which is also very good.

[@iSlandeRon]

Marmalade always gotta see what momma is doing huh? 😊

[@darilynperez642]

Mine told me to put a towel with the ice and not straight ice to the face

[@Allthingsfadra]

That would have been a much better idea. The plastic ice pack was not what I was expecting!

[@ashleyambrose1216]

WHERES THE UPDATEEEE

[@Allthingsfadra]

I didn’t do an update because I saw such a small difference from the second treatment and none at all from the third. For me, one treatment was enough to get the results I wanted.

[@MajesticScenery]

Driving in your car!!

[@TaraLynnBaeza]

Why would you invest in this treatment and not where SPF? or the"cream" they are selling you? You know that its not a PUSH you legit need certain products to get the best results and to help it not come back.You have to target hyperpigmentation from several angles. I just dont understand why people invest in the treatements but not the products that will assist the treatment and prevent relapse. Protect your investment.

[@Allthingsfadra]

Let me explain a few things. I’m in my 50s. When I was younger, there was no recommendation to wear SPF daily. We put baby oil on our skin to help us tan. The damage on my face is from decades ago. IPL helps remove the evidence of the damage. The trick is to wear SPF going forward to protect my skin (which I do). The cream the dermatologist’s office recommended was from the dermatologist’s own personal skincare line that she developed for profit. They was red me to buy their moisturizer. I have a lot of good skincare at home.

[@TaraLynnBaeza]

@@Allthingsfadra What I'm saying is are you sure it was "just a moisturizer" For example when I do these treatments on my clients. I typically will recommend that they start on a retinol or a serum specifically to assist with discoloration and which also helps keep it from returning. And just so you know any and all businesses make some profit off of anything you buy, company branded or not. Moist derma and skin care professionals are not just selling you product for their own gain its for yours and the quality of results we want to see in clients. its not the same thing as buying Elizabeth Arden from a sales clerk at the mall.

[@Allthingsfadra]

Yes, it was just a moisturizer. And they provided me no real recommendations before or after. Any knowledge I have is from my own research. I asked the te h to explain the technology in more detail and she couldn’t. And the doctor couldn’t be bothered to speak with me. Overall not a great experience with that office but I am happy with the results.

[@rqi522-g6x]

Do you mind to reveal your actual age?

[@Allthingsfadra]

When I did this video a year ago, I was 52.

[@Alddyn]

The never ending quest for youth... Is this fairly affordable?

[@Allthingsfadra]

Listen, when you edit videos of your own face all day long, you think more about appearance probably than other people do. I just want to look as young as I feel. Anyway, the pricing totally depends on where you live. I purchased 3 sessions for $800, which I thought was reasonably affordable.

[@iSlandeRon]

You've always looked good Fadra!

[@queenofesses1065]

I see a big difference and I would say more youthful as well! I just did my first treatment ever today and I didn’t know what to expect for results
