Hello, I don't know about the Gemini. I do know about IPL - limitations and advantages. IPL if done correctly, the patient is compliant, can address all of your concerns. The VISIA camera system which can show before and after results for all of your questions confirms my observations.... more
Gemini or IPL Laser to improve skin?
What is better? Gemini Laser or IPL? I'm 29, have some sun spots(not many), little dark spots from pimples (not many), enlarge pores, some fine lines and would like to improve and smooth skin structure.
Thanks,
Katarina C., Canberra

Do not recommend Gemini. I am 33 years old with light brown/olive skin and have had four treatments, spent over $3000 and my spots are worse, they are darker and new ones are appearing. Topically I use Tri-Luma cream, have been using it for a month, no difference so far, but I know it takes a while. I use sunscreen 50+ everyday, wear hats, etc etc. I went to a big name derm here in NYC and am really upset with the results. This is my personal experience with Gemini, and I encourage you to really read about side effects before you get the lasers done. Some docs are just selling their products, they will tell you only the benefits of lasers to get you to plop the money down. Read up on it as much as you can! Good luck.
