V-beam Vs. IPL, How do They Differ?

Skitterish
I would like to get IPL but have read too mush about potential harm to subcutaneous layers, and long term side effects. What is the risk for V-beam long term side effects? Vis-a-vis IPL, how deeply does the V-beam penetrate? Also I have heard it called a "pulsed dye laser" Can you explain a little about what that means and how it works?
