IPL or V Beam for post-inflammatory erythema?

February 27, 2017
Asked By:wright1 in Nashville, TN

Fair skin, left with prolonged erythema in about 8 spots due to fairly recent breakout. Acne now under control. In the past, it took about 12 months for these to resolve without treatment. Topicals do not work. What device would be best to clear the red marks faster-IPL or PDL? Would either device be more cost effective? Thank you!
