I would like to know if the settings on the IPL machine are different when treating precancerous areas with kerastick, than it would be for treating other “cosmetic” concerns like age spots or red marks.

IPL settings for AK's vs. photoaging same
The settings for IPL treatments vary from one machine to the other and for different skin types; however, the settings for treating age spots versus precancerous areas are generally the same.
