Optimal Timing Between IPL, Thermage and Laser Skin Resurfacing?

tokyotime2012
50 year old male fair complexion/dark hair w/ moderate issues with freckling/large pores/redness and skin laxity on face/neck. Looking at a series of 4 IPL treatments, as well as a thermage and laser resurfacing. What would be the optimal timing between treatments and which should be done first and last? My thought: Thermage, wait a couple of weeks and have one IPL every month and finish with laser maybe a month after the last IPL. Thoughts on timing and/or treatment plan?
