I want to get IPL done on my face because i have some brown spots and the pigment is not all one color. I went to two different consultations and one office said I only need one session done and the other place said I probably need two or three sessions done. Does the type of machine matter as far as getting good results? One office has the Lumenis one machine and the other place has the Cutera XEO. Please let me know if you think one machine is better then the other. thank you.
