Laser Trio: Vascular, Laser Genesis and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Problem: Rosacea and melasma
Pros: Fine lines diminished and skin looked plumper. "My skin has not looked this smooth, even and glowing in a long time!" said Lucy, 35 (pictured).
Cons: Mild to moderate discomfort with the IPL treatments. "The vascular did not work to rid me of my broken capillaries and was uncomfortable (a burning, "needling" sensation), therefore not really worth it."
Total cost: $3,115 (two vascular laser, five laser genesis and three IPL treatments)

Wow! Some were drastically transformed in the after picture. Laser seems to be the ultimate beauty tool to get rid of all the bad things we do to our skin.

Sun is the ultimate ager and unfortunately my mom was a sun goddess so I see the results. I keep my fair skin out of the sun!
