intense pulsed ligHt

FOR SUNDAMAGED NOSE AND AGE SPOTS VICTORIA FISHER, 47,47 IS DIVORCED AN AND LIVES IN LONDON. SHE HAS A SON OF 20 AND A DAUGHTER OF 17. SHE HAD INTENSE PULSED LIGHT TREATMENT (IPL) TO TREAT HER RED

NOSE AND THE BROWN AGE SPOTS ON HER NECK AND CHEST. IPL WORKS BY BREAKING UP THE PIGMENT THAT IS CAUSING THE DISCOLOURATION, WHICH IS THEN CLEARED AWAY BY THE BODY.

I HAD A PERMANENTLY RED NOSE FROM SUN DAMAGE AND WORE A TON OF MAKE-UP TO COVER IT UP. I MET DR DAVID JACK THROUGH A FRIEND OF MINE AND ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING HE COULD DO FOR MY NOSE. HE SAID “YES!” SO OFF I WENT. I WASN’T ANXIOUS ABOUT THE TREATMENT, EVEN THOUGH I’VE NEVER HAD ANY SORT OF COSMETIC TREATMENT BEFORE.

IPL ISN’T THE MOST COMFORTABLE THING. EACH BURST OF LIGHT FEELS LIKE HAVING ELASTIC BANDS FLICKED AT YOUR FACE, BUT IT’S NOT AS BAD AS GOING TO THE DENTAL HYGIENIST. THE TREATMENT REALLY WORKS. IT HAS CALMED DOWN MY RED NOSE, MY BROWN SPOTS HAVE GONE AND I FEEL I HAVE SHED TEN

YEARS OFF MY FACE. FRIENDS HAVE CERTAINLY NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE THOUGH THEY CAN’T USUALLY PINPOINT IT. I’LL KEEP GOING BACK FOR MAINTENANCE TREATMENTS EVERY SIX MONTHS BUT I CAN’T SEE MYSELF DOING ANY OTHER PROCEDURES. THIS IS ENOUGH FOR ME. OUCH FACTOR 4/10

COST AND WHERE LUMECCA
