sumheima,
I think you have done IPL at Baptist hospital. $8000 for 3 times. My friend finished 3 treatments there and the result was very good. Much more effective than at other beauty salon. I have done 7 times at a small clinic and the outcome is not that good even it's cheaper. You have to avoid sunlight in this period and use sunblock everyday. If you don't stay away from the sun, you are wasting your $$.
