J. Jones
My name is J. Jones, I am 32 years of age and live locally in Cleveland. Over the past year I have undertaken IPL treatment on my face.
Growing up through my teenage years I had great skin, few pimples and no need to wear any kind of make up. By the time I hit my mid 20's I noticed a substantial change in my skin where I had permanent acne over my chin and dark pigment around my eyes. Year after year, the pigment was darker and the acne worse. Did I neglect my skin? Since I was 15 I have cleansed, toned and moisturised twice daily. Spending thousands on products and investing the time. As my skin deteriorated, the more stressed I became, being susceptible to eczema. I had dry itchy red skin over the pigment. By the time I reached my thirties, I was taking 30 minutes per morning, before I left my bedroom to cover my skin. The make up got heavier and heavier. I visited doctors, even being recommended to visit a plastic surgeon to have 'cists' cut out of my chin. Thank god I didn't proceed with the surgery with lasting skars alaong my jaw line.
I initially visited Mokaskin after reading an article about IPL hair removal. My initial consultation was for hair removal. Once I started talking to the nurse and she informed me of my options on my face, I thought 'what if it did work?' I sat opposite Jane with a huge amount of pigment around my eyes, like a soldier rubbing dirt to camouflage. I had redness from my eyes down to my décolletage. My chin, now that is another issue. It had scarring, lumps, craters and dark red permanent marks. When I first arrived at the clinic, it was the first time since my early 20's that I had left the house without makeup.
After the first session the amount of 'milo' was incredible. At first my thoughts were 'what have I done?' But as the milo disappeared clear milky skin was revealed underneath. I have had 9 sessions on my face and the results are extraordinary. I only wear concealer on a couple of spots (which we are working on) and lip balm. I have worn make up only for big nights out. I look in the mirror and love my skin and have had no pimples for three months. I have had no eczema since the commencement of the treatment.
I can tell you how great I think it is but the proof is from other people's comments. Remembering how my skin was, imagine these comments -
- I see my family and friends and they ask 'what have you done, your face looks so good' and 'you don't look tired'. My best friend told me 'you don't look as old around the eyes' and 'Jules, are you not wearing makeup?'
- I meet people in my small business and have had a handful of women comment on 'you have great skin, what do you use? Imagine after being so self conscious, having my make up done by a beautician for a wedding and have her comment 'you have great skin' (if only she saw me a year ago). I have had people comment that I now look like I am in my early 20's. A work colleague 'I never noticed before but you have a pretty face'.
The IPL has been the best investment in my skin, my self-esteem and my lifestyle. You cannot put a price on this feeling. My partner has been so supportive throughout this process understanding as a woman having such bad skin affects you on so many levels.

My name is John Flinn and I just recently completed a six month course of treatments for a skin condition called Rosacea at Mokaskin Skin Clinic Sandgate. The Treatments have been very successful and the reduction of redness on my face has been remarkable. I decided about Xmas 2004 was time to do something about my appearance and I'm glad I chased the Sandgate clinic because apart from the great results the staff at the clinic were really great, very friendly and what else I found great they talk to you through each treatment giving you support and confidence and I'll be coming back for a top up treatment in about six months or so.
