I've had pretty good skin for most of my life...an occasional hormonal breakout here and there but nothing too serious....Then I hit my 30's and everything went haywire. My skin became EXTREMELY sensitive and I started experiencing flushing on the apples of my cheeks...then blotchy red bumps that would not go away...I couldn't hide behind make-up since it seemed to make things worse...Turns out I have Rosacea! I went to a couple of dermatologists each prescribing topical medications which would only make my skin more sensitive and dry..My face looked and felt terrible! I started researching on-line and had read about IPL and how it could help those with Rosacea...I had heard about Carole Burns/SLR on one of the Rosacea boards, all raving about their experience there and with IPL so I decided to give it a shot.. I arrived for my first appointment in tears, I was having a bad day...my skin was so inflamed with pimples all over my cheek area. Carole calmed me down and assured me that I would have beautiful skin again...I was skeptical at first but she explained the procedure to me and how IPL worked on the skin (I must say that I was very impressed with her knowledge of not only the procedure but dermatology in general.) Well, she was right! Even after my first IPL session, my skin started to feel better and by the second, I started noticing a big difference in it's appearance...I had a total of 5 sessions that first year and it changed my life! Carole has brought back my clear, beautiful, soft skin (as well as my confidence.) I still go back to Carole/SLR for 'maintenance' and the new office on 23rd street is even more fabulous...I'll be turning 40 soon and my skin has never looked better...Thank you Carole!!!
