They do not prepare you for the extreme unhumane pain!!! I would rather give birth than do that again. Don't do it.

I had IPL (foto facial) done Thursday. Today is Saturday and my face looks horrible. Just about every professional Skin Spa/Dermotology ad tells you, "no down time." This is not true for everyone. I have burns on my chin and brownish/red speckles all over my face. Make up does not cover up these horrible blemishes. I've read that these are normal and that means my IPL was successful, but I'm still waiting for all this to slough off. I'm worried my chin may have hyperpigmentation since it is almost completely burned and scabbed over. I wish these clinics would be more sincere about problems and down time some people may experience. I am suppose to go to work Monday. I called in sick Friday. My face is nowhere ready for public display.
