IPL Photofacial--ever had one?

So I'm thinking about one of those IPL (intense pulsed light) photo-facials. Has anyone here had this? Do they work? Are there risks I should know about? I only know they are meant to rejuvenate the skin.

No, but if you end up doing it, let us know how it turns out.

ok, it was good, fantastic results on pigmentation and general skin tone and elasticity. It seems expensive (300 bucks a pop), but when I compare to face creams that don't do anything, doing this once every six months or so is so worth it....Doesn't hurt a bit, but it does 'burn' a bit immediately after, tho.

Where did you go for this procedure? I think they are charging $500. in Manhattan. Do you have a local place? Thanks in advance.

I got rid of rosacea [ redness] with 4 photofacials at Tres Belle Spa on Bond Street in Boerum Hill. I think it was $300-ish. They're really good with skin issues.
