Hello! I got a Photofacial (IPL) last week and wanted to film the process that your skin goes through. It takes about 10 days for it to fully "heal" or to see the darkest your sun spots/ hyperpigmentation will get. I hope this video is helpful for you! I really love trying (non- evasive) procedures and skincare techniques, so you will be seeing more things like this on my channel.

I have been seeing Bridgette for around 4 years now and she is amazing (+ has been in the industry for 20 years!). If you're in the Tampa/Sarasota area, here's her info:

I also wanted to do a follow-up on how I cleared my hormonal acne. I was on spironolactone for around 1.5 years, but decided to get off of it once I got married- which also happened to be right when I ran out of my last prescription. My dermatologist told me that you'd need to be off of it for at least 30 days if you were to accidentally get pregnant because it wasn't good to have in your system. I had to get bloodwork while I was on it because your potassium levels can skyrocket & also children can be born without genitals if you continue to take it while pregnant, or have it in your system if you became pregnant... which is the main reason I decided to end it.

I have not had any crazy breakouts with my current routine of taking 2 spearmint capsules a day & have been using curology for several months now. Let me know if you have any questions, or if you're going through something similar. I know it sucks and you are not alone!

WHAT IS IPL?
via: https://dermahealthinstitute.com/treatment/photofacial/

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial is a laser light treatment that targets pigment issues, such as brown spots, sun damage and red spots, and Rosacea. The bright light passes through the epidermis, drawing out the pigment producing cells and dispersing the uneven pigment. IPL Photofacial can be used on the face, neck, chest, shoulders, back arms, legs and just about anywhere else. Photofacial is also an effective treatment for broken veins and spider veins. According to Stanford Medical University, the long-term effects of Photofacial actually reverse the signs of aging.

What Does IPL Photofacial Treat?
Brown and Red Spots
Freckles
Sun Damage
Spider Veins
Redness
Rosacea (enlarged facial blood vessels)
Pigment Imperfections

How Does IPL Photofacial Work?
IPL Photofacial is Intense Pulsed Light that emits multiple wavelengths into the skin and effectively targets pigment producing cells below the surface of the skin. The light energy is converted to heat energy and destroys the hyperactive melanin producing cells in the layers of your skin, eventually dispersing pigmented areas. The spots are pulled to the surface, eventually turning into a coffee-ground-like texture that eventually flakes off revealing beautiful, radiant skin beneath.

Who Is/Is Not a Good Candidate for IPL Photofacial?
Those with a higher Fitzpatrick score, those with a tan and those with melasma are not good candidates. Because the light rays are attracted to pigment, darker skin tones can actually become discolored and melasma patches can become darker.
