Is SCITON Profile Really the Best IPL Technology on the Market?

Although the Dermatology Centre at our local University claims to use "state of the art" IPL technology with SCITON Profile, the price (650 CAD = approx. US $605 for a full face treatment) seems quite expensive compared to the prices charged by different MedSpas around our City (Alberta, Canada). Is SCITON Profile really the best IPL technology on the market? Would you recommend to spend more than double the price (compared to other IPL technologies) to get the IPL treatment at the Dermatology Centre? I'm considering the IPL treatment in order to improve rosacea. Thank you very much in advance for your answer.

A: There are differences in IPL companies

The differences between IPLs are cooling, power, and wavelengths. Most importantly, the more cooling, the more comfortable you are. The Palomar Starlux 500, in my opinion, has the best integrated cooling of the IPLs. It also is very powerful. More power will give better results. Most companies offer a variety of wavelengths, but not all are purchased by the physician.
