I am looking to get IPL treatments for my face to reduce redness/mild rosacea and small sun spots. I am fair skin. If possible, I have a few dark hairs on lip that would be nice to get rid of as well. I have an option of the Palomar Max Icon for $350/session full face and the BBL Sciton for $500/session full face. I’m wondering if the Sciton is better and worth the extra $150 a session. I think I will need 3 sessions which will add $450 altogether. Is there a difference in effectiveness?
