What the gurus are saying

IPL treatments show promise for tackling deeper pigmentation when stepped up in intensity, though experts split on their effectiveness compared to alternatives. One creator saw real results progressing from gentler surface treatments to more powerful sessions targeting stubborn pigment. Another found IPL underwhelming and preferred laser treatments for their precision and stronger power. The choice may come down to the depth of what you're treating and how your skin responds.

"I didn't see a huge difference with the IPL treatments. [...] I would personally prefer to go for laser treatments which are more selective, more targeted, and more intense and more powerful."
