Does IPL machine brand matter for effectiveness?

Asked By:abrinkworth in Carlsbad, CA

I just went to a consult for a few laser treatments on my face, and the derm I saw insisted the type of machine makes a huge difference (she said Lumenis is the best). I got IPL previously with a Palomar Starlux, so wondering if my treatment maybe wasn't as effective as it could have been with Lumenis..?
