Reporting back on my procedure. I had it on January 31st. The laser was an IPL laser. It goes below the surface of the facial skin. It hurts a little. They give you a numbing cream to apply one hour before. I did not find it to be painful. It cost 350 dollars. I had quite a few brown spots. Initially they all come to the surface of the skin much darker. Over one week they lighten and then poof they are gone. It took about 10 days for me to be happy with the results. It also stimulates the production of collagen. I feel like I look much better. I am also going to have a chemical peel in one month to refine the surface skin. The dermatologist told me after she finished the procedure, "I think you will be pleased." and I am. My mood feels elevated about the whole thing. See you in May at Virginia Beach
