I hope I am not derailing this thread by asking the following question but can anyone provide costs and comparisons for the two types?
How much are people paying for CACI type laser and which area and again how much for laser and which area?
it really varies. i don't know about CACI but the IPL that I know to work can cost more than laser per treatment and even if not, definitely more in the long run.
people that i know that have had laser are done in about 5-6 treatments for something like underarms, and about 1.5 years worth of treatments for face.
I know less people that have had success with IPL and they were going to treatments continuously for 2 years or more.
p.s. the only IPL that someone I know has used and claims it worked is Ellipse I2PL
p.p.s coarse hair body areas are much better and more quickly treated with laser. i don't know why anyone would bother with IPL unless the pain really is an issue (on those areas)
