Differences Between IPL and LED Skin Treatment?

jnlwriter
Trying to choose between 6 Intense Pulse Light (IPL)  treatments or 24 sessions of sitting in front of an Infrared/Red light skin therapy lamp. The latter is more passive and is less expensive. Both are at the same derm's office. Does anyone know the differences?
