I had decided to get IPL done for my sun spots and uneven skin tone. At only 27, it is very bothersome to have such splotchy skin, and although I avoid the sun like the plague (now) and have gotten chemical peels from other facilities, the spots are still there. I called Dr.Escobedo's office and they got me in the very same day, which could very well explain my long wait once I got there, so I can't complain too much. The doctor came in and assessed my ""damage"" and went over a plan of care. His staff then prepped me for the IPL by applying lidocaine and then later a gel. I was extremely scared that this would be painful, as I have had smoothbeam laser treatment done for my acne about 2 years ago and that felt like a rubber band popping in to my face as hard as it could. I was surprised to find that there was NO PAIN AT ALL. The doctor explained what he was doing the entire time, and was very gentle. After the fact, I was afraid that my face would look horrible and I wouldn't be able to go in public, wrong again. My face is a little brown today, nothing makeup can't fix, and I look fine so far. He was less aggressive on the first treatment to make sure my fair skin would not have any issues and that is something I really appreciated, a doctor who actually takes his time and does things right the first time. Honestly, I have gone to other cosmetic dermatologists in Austin, but this experience was so good, I don't have to continue my search. Thank you for the great experience, and for making me look like a million bucks, but for a lot less :)
Oh and by the way, I bought this amazing mineral SPF from his office that you brush on like powder, it is sweat proof, UVA/B/C resistant and it smells awesome, everyone should buy it :)
Pros: Friendly Staff, Gentle, Took their time
Cons: Long wait
