What the gurus are saying

Gurus strongly endorse professional IPL for treating age spots and sun damage, reporting visible results within a week as spots darken and shed. The treatment is praised for cost-effectiveness compared to laser alternatives. However, at-home IPL devices consistently underperform and reportedly deliver little to no results, making professional treatments the clear winner for efficacy.

"What I've seen the hugest difference with was an in office device and that's IPL. That's what my skin really changed. Not just there was acne that went away, but I also had a ton of sunspots because I was such a sun warrior. They look like freckles but they're all over my arms and all over my face. The guy used both lenses for red and for brown and they all basically fell off. I have tried at home IPL devices and honestly they none of them did anything. I tried two different ones and they did nothing."

"IPL stands for intense pulse light and this is similar to a laser in that it uses light energy to basically zap away dark spots. IPL has been around for decades and it really really works if you've got age spots or sun spots that you want to get rid of. Within a week of your first treatment you should see those spots that you're unhappy with start to turn dark and even start to fall off. The reason why this is such a great bang for your buck is because these treatments usually aren't more than several hundred, compared to aggressive laser treatments that can cost in the upwards of thousands of dollars. If you want to get an even better result, combine IPL treatments with a skin brightening cream to suppress the melanin in your skin combined with some type of an exfoliating cream like a retinol."
