By the way, an interesting addendum to this.
The technician said she thought it would be worth my while having 1 or 2 sessions using her IPL this winter to shift some red pigmentation and quarterize veins. She said I'd really notice the difference with my overall complexion.
Why IPL? Because of the different spectrum at which it operates.
It needs to be in the winter because it really needs no suntan.
I hadn't heard this suggestion before about IPL.
