Why Sun Damage, Redness, and Pigmentation Don’t Fade on Their Own
Freckles, dark spots, and facial redness can linger no matter how many products you try. The truth is, sun damage and skin discoloration live below the surface, where creams, facials, and drugstore treatments can’t reach.
If you’re struggling with rosacea, broken capillaries, or an uneven skin tone, you already know these issues won’t disappear with surface-level fixes. That’s why so many people turn to an IPL photofacial in Portland, Oregon when they want real change instead of cover-ups.
With an IPL treatment in Portland, intense pulsed light penetrates beneath the skin to target:
-
Sun spot removal
-
Brown spot treatment
-
Rosacea redness reduction
-
Broken capillary removal
-
Overall skin rejuvenation and clarity
Great first experience for tattoo removal. Fast, friendly and reasonably priced. I plan to come back here again.
At first I really liked this place. My friend and I have both talked about getting wrinkle relaxers for a while and this is near us both so we decided to do it. At my appointment Andrew was great. Took the time to answer all my questions, etc. After though, I realized me and my friend had different aftercare expectations given to us. Mostly relating to follow up… After my treatment I was not told about a follow up appointment in two weeks, I was not told really anything just that I can book my “next appointment online”. My friend told me they booked her two week follow up in clinic so I was kind of confused. It would make sense for anyone’s first time getting Botox (or xeomin in my case), to get a follow up… so I went online and made one not knowing it was for a time I was out of town. When I realized that, I immediately rebooked it (with plenty of notice) only to get a call the day before and be left a voicemail that said that they cannot see me since it’s been longer than the two week window AND it has to be with the person who initially did the treatment… all this would have been fine if I was told about it at my appointment and could have made plans for that… I had called them back and the person that answered the phone was less than professional… I explained why I was calling and they told me “well we are human, we all make mistakes”… it was the most unprofessional phone call I’ve ever had with a business… and I wasn’t even being rude, just trying to return a call and find out if I could get my follow up. I will unfortunately not be returning here and am going to find someplace else to go. Please be cautious….
Hands down one of the best experiences I have had! My consult with Dr. Plitt was down to earth and so kind! Christina was absolutely delightful, and so knowledgeable. I learned so much from her about wrinkle relaxers 🙂 more than anyone else anyone else I have had treatment from. The owner Forrest was so welcoming and fun to talk with! !! I am beyond thrilled about the future with Cascade medical spa!!!!
I was really impressed coming back. I had 3 treatments from previous owners but I was able to talk to the new owner on the phone, he got me scheduled right away and was easy to talk to! Sorry Forest but Christina was really the star of the show for my appointment, personable, kind and very well informed/educated. I cannot wait to continue my tattoo removal treatments here, the new owner has the right vision. If you’re looking for a place that’s going to CARE about YOU over your wallet, this is the place! Clean, Awesome, Friendly, Personable
Corey is awesome! Is it possible to have fun while being lasered? YES! Corey took the time to make sure she understood my skin and gave me aftercare info I'd never received elsewhere. Can't wait to come back for my next sesh!
