"I should have written this review years ago really. Back in 2004 I visited Dr Mervyn Patterson of Woodford Medical in Danbury about my rosacea face flushing. I flew in from the Netherlands for an initial consultation, asking whether or not we could do test patches with the IPL machine he had. Dr Patterson said that this wa snot necessary. I spoke out about my worries that the IPL could perhaps worsen my face flushing, but Dr Patterson assured me that it would either improve matters, or do nothing at all. I returned some time later for the IPL treatment, together with my mother and sister. It hurt terribly and I felt my skin burning. I used to flush only on the apples of my cheeks, but after the full face IPL treatment, my entire face (minus the forehead and nose) turned red to purple. I returned after around 6 weeks and was constantly on fire and flushed at this point. Dr. Patterson looked at it, said I was flushed indeed but blamed it on stress, since my sister had passed away recently. It was absolutely shocking. My rosacea worsened 10 fold since the IPL treatment and instead of taking any responsibility, he said it was not possible that his treatment did this and that we should not do any more treatments, and good luck with it all. It pretty much turned my life and health around and I still suffer from daily flushing and burning all over my face.
(I posted photos of my skin in a blog post which you can find by googling Disastrous IPL 2005, dr Mervyn Patterson)."
