Is IPL or Laser Best for Facial Hair Removal?

Lena1
I've been researching for three days now on how to remove little light hair on my face. The center for IPL claims the method to be more effective, using a machine called "Cutera", but the center for laser told me that only laser treatments can remover hair from the face, except that little light hair, which won't go away! I also found out that IPL treatments are half the price of laser. Any honest and professional answers regarding the matter? Thank you.
