Brown spots, sun damage, blotchiness, overall dullness – these are the four-letter-words that pass my lips practically every time I find myself at the cosmetic counter. My medicine cabinet is overflowing with creams, tonics and serums aimed at combating the hyper-pigmentation that has plagued me since having kids nearly eight years ago. While proper skincare and sun protection does make a difference over time, it has been my experience that there is no magic eraser for these bothersome dark spots caused by an overproduction of melanin, typically as a result of too much sun exposure or a rise in estrogen levels in the body brought on by pregnancy or birth control pills.
That is, until now.
Listen up, my friends. I have discovered the secret to getting star-worthy skin at Kaologie Studio City. It’s called IPL – or Photo facial – and it really, really works.
Intense Pulsed Light treatment, or IPL, is a laser facial system than literally zaps the skin beautiful. Kalologie uses the StarLux System by Palomar that boasts very little pain and virtually no down time. After being declared an “ideal candidate” by my lovely, gentle and super-smart Registered Nurse May, I climbed into the chair for the completely tolerable (though a little uncomfortable) 30-minute procedure. May chatted with me about all things beauty and before I knew it, I was done! As I hugged my new BFF farewell, my skin looked slightly pink, but showed no bruising and I went straight out to dinner. I was happy, albeit a little skeptical about May’s guarantee of bright, smooth, spot-free skin.
For the next 5-7 days my brown spots pushed their way to the surface, getting darker and darker (not a pretty sight), until one day, voila! – I literally watched in the mirror as I brushed away years of sun damage with a dry washcloth. I almost cried I was so happy. There is a magic eraser!!! It’s May at Kalologie in Studio City!
I am SO happy with my discovery of Kalologie’s Photo Facial. Just one treatment revealed a more even skin tone, smaller pores, improved collagen production and generally more radiant skin. According to May, optimal results are seen after four treatments. I simply cannot imagine how good my skin will look when I finish my four-treatment package. Will keep you posted!
