I dont know exactly what they been doin, but they all seem to have that grayish super shiney transparent skin and i worry if i tried it out my skin will end up doing that as well.And after wards could you go back to work?? did you scab or anything hehe?

Hi Jen!
Actually, it is not that the skin goes transparent. It is more like the skin loses the "brown" spots and gradually reverses a big part of the sun damage you've had. So if your skin was really white to begin with, you'll start going back to your pre-tanning skin. To your baby skin tone, that is. The one you had before sun damage and tanning too place.
Besides, once you get IPL, just to keep the good results and all that, people start using more sunblock (or else you feel like you are making up for what you've done wrong but then engaging in the same thing that first harmed your skin so much), all that makes your skin "whiten". But it is not like it whitens, it just loses that "base tan" that we all end up with after years and years and years of tanning (even indirectly). My skin was super white and now is more white, but not in a fake way. I now have the white I had when I was a kid. Get it?
It IS possible that your skin might get grayish or whatever IF your natural skin was already of that "hue", so to speak. Some people have yellowish skin, others olive, others white-rosey skin, others white-transparent, others white-greyish. Look at your skin in the butt or wherever the sun never ever tanned you. Likely, you'll go back to that hue.
In any case, I personally believe a nice healthy looking is skin matters more than the hue it has, because it is nicer to have a healthy nice skin and just "correct" a bit the hue with some slightly tinted moisturizer.
Yes, it helps at toning the skin, yes. Although, as I said, it takes many treatments to see real results.
No, it does not imply ANY sort of downback time. Mind you, I get those in the morning BEFORE going to work, and I mean... I have them, go to the bathroom of the clinic, put on makeup there (yes, you can) and go to work and nobody (not even me) can tell. When the treatment is a bit more aggressive, you might get a little redness, but nothing alarming and nothing that a soothing aloe cream, gel, sunblock and moisturizer with sunblock can not take care of. You can always use foundation, concealer, tinted moisturizer right after, so if you had any redness, you could conceal it and resume your activities as usual. No remaining pain or discomfort or inflammation neither. Personally, it actually gives me a little "glow" that makes me look nicer on that day than later on!
ANYONE HAD PHOTO REJUVENATION or facial lasers
