In Reply to: IPL posted by ozzie49a on Friday, 5. March 2010 at 11:54 Bali Time:
.. had IPL done in Bali but I have here in NZ (for hair removal) and my experience is that most areas need 3 - 5 treatments before you get permanent long-term results so I think locally is a better option. (BTW my treatments in NZ only cost $150 - $170 so alot cheaper than some prices quoted bu others). Also you are not supposed to have lots of sun exposure prior or after treatment so I think that would be tricky in Bali!! As for the pain - personally I find it very tolerable - for a fraction of a second with each light treatment there is a hot flick feeling which makes you startle / jump but not from pain just a nervous system reaction and there is no pain at all afterwards.
Hope this helps
