Why Would One IPL Treatment Cost $1,000.00?

I was quoted $1,000. for one IPL treatment of my face for minor hyperpigmentation. Clinic is in British Virgin Islands. I have been taking care of my facial skin with Skinceuticals product and regular microdermabrasion. Should I ask about the equipment and why only one session? Should I ask if the light will be more intense than having 2 to 3 sessions? I live in St. Thomas, VI, and the clinic in BVI has a good reputation. Thank you.
