IPL Foto Facial Rejuvenation

They were running a half price offer for Time Out London subscribers at Pasha
Skin Clinic. I took advantage of this to try Laser rejuvenation. Here's what
they say about the treatment at the clinic's website:
Photo facial rejuvenation addresses: Skin conditions like brown spots, sun
damage, ageing skin, changes in the skin texture, facial vains and redness or
flashing from rosacea, age spots, fracles and mottled pigmentation.
I've been bothered by residual redness on my chin and some visible capillaries
on my nose, so I had the treatment done last Monday.
I had to wear metal goggles and the therapist "shot" the laser beam at my face,
changing the head for problem areas (chin and nose).
The result? Lovely, smooth glowing skin and a reduction in the redness (though
it hasn't completely gone away... it takes 2–3 treatments for that to happen).
I found it almost completely painless except on the chin around my teeth.
There each time I felt a quick, hot "spark" or flash... nothing I couldn't
endure for the pursuit of beauty!
It cost me £100 (less than an Eve Lom facial or a Jo Malone skin treatment).
I'm going to go back, as I've found that microdermabrasion, Botox and
treatments like this are a lot more effective and the results are visible long
term, unlike expensive facials... though I would love to have a Dr. Hauschka
facial!
Well, one can dream...
