IPL treatment

[Auralie]

Hi, I wonder if anyone could give some advice on this. I've had one session and was surprised to be able to see such bright flashes of light and am now a bit worried about my eyes! I was given safety glasses, not goggles. Is this normal? Thanks.

Does anyone know about this? Thanks again.

I have never noticed bright flashes of light, but there must be some because I get given quite dark glasses. Like a cross between safety glasses and sunglasses.

Thanks for your reply. That's interesting. I think I'll ask more about it next time I go.

You will be fine. I have done IPL for years and over this time I have accidently flashed myself straight in the eye a few time with no ill effects. The same would not be true with a laser which is stronger. It is usuall to see flashes of light. We put our clients in stick on eye patches which are very effective especially when treating the face.

Hi, just getting back to this. Thanks for the reassurance.

I have IPL and always keep my eyes closed hth.
