If you are debating getting an ipl photofacial, I definitely recommend. I have oily skin with large pores in my t-zone and started getting hormonal cystic acne and dark spots. I was on the fence about getting one, since ive never had a facial or face treatment donr outside of my own home. After one Ipl session, my skin had noticeable immediate results. No more cystic acne, fine lines disappeared, less oil, smaller pores, and dark spots lightened. Well worth the money. It is cheaper than paying for 5 different bottles of topical lotions or serums. Kara is great with the best bedside manner...especially for a first timer. I've had 4 IPL's since and I finally feel comfortable leaving my house with the bare minimum make-up on.
