Hi Maria, I am very sorry to hear about your experience. I have not tried IPL, but I have tried to do some research on the issue of whether it causes fat to melt. IPL is mostly - and most effectively - used for surface skin damage, such as targeting age spots and evening out skin tone. It is less effective at removing wrinkles. At normal settings, IPL should not penetrate to the level of fat cells and melt them. It would have to become very hot to do this. Typically, if the IPL is too hot it causes discoloration of the skin (age spots look even darker). However, it may be that your procedure was conducted at levels even higher.

I have found some potentially helpful resources. Such as <a href="http://iplandlasersupport.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-is-ipl-and-laser-support.html" rel="nofollow">IPL And Laser Supoort</a> http://iplandlasersupport.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-is-ipl-and-laser-support.html And there is <a href="http://iplandlaserdamagesupport.prophpbb.com/" rel="nofollow">another forum</a> where people with similar issues share advice. You may be able to talk to people with similar experiences and get advice on how your skin can best recover from this experience: http://iplandlaserdamagesupport.prophpbb.com/

Good luck.

Marta! Have you had IPL? I am frantic because after 2nd treatment I have deep grooves around eyes and wrinkles like never before. Online forum of women are saying that it melts the fat under the skin and can cause all kinds of problems. They say the bad results can keep on getting worse with time. I am so scared now - please help if you know anything
