Are all IPL machines the same? Is BBL the same as IPL?

In my opinion, most IPL machines are comparable. It's desirable to use an IPL machine that has Cooling. However, when talking about Groupon, the person performing the treatment is the most important factor. It's not the machine, it's the person who's on the other end of the machine.  A board-certified dermatologist ,plastic surgeon or facial plastics  will provide the best treatment and will be able to handle  complications. 

Hi and thank you for your question. Generally, all reputable and frequently used IPL devices work in the same manner, targeting brown and red pigments in the skin to improve skin clarity as well as producing increased collagen and elastin in the skin through heat generation. The BBL device is a little more versatile than the standard IPL device, but in the hands of an experienced provider, can result in similar improvements in skin color, quality and texture. Hope that helped! Best, Dr. Roy.
