Does IPL work in everyone?

Yes, After Fotofacial IPL treatment, it is essential that one avoid sun exposure for at least 4-6 weeks. If one does venture out, it is important to wear a sunscreen and/or protective garments.
Is IPL therapy permanent?
No, there is no permanent cure in cosmetic medicine for any skin disorder. Thus, maintenance treatments are required once or twice a year.
What is cost of IPL therapy?
Fotofacial IPL is considered a cosmetic procedure and not covered by Medicare or any private health insurance plan. The average cost for FotoFacial IPL averages about $400-$800 per session.
Final word
Despite some positive testimonials on cyberspace about IPL, the overall impression is that it is just as bad as all the other previous laser treatments. Some of the positive testimonials appear to be "fudged" and written by doctors themselves in order to make the treatment look good- so beware.
IPL Fotofacial treatments are generally done by physicians but today many non health care individuals have become involved in cosmetic surgery. So before you get your FotoFacial, ask for a referral and seek a well qualified healthcare worker who has experience with this device. After forking out $600-$1000, the last thing you want is a ruined face.
