Greetings!
I had posted a while ago re: the thought of purchasing an LED system. Back then I opted for an IPL treatment because I was not ready for the plunge. I am getting another IPL treatment in August and am contemplating either a set of other IPL treatments or finally venturing into the LED realm. I have been reading up on the stickys and other posts to see what would be the best option for me. Because I have mild rosacea (recently some p&p's turned up) I wanted to go with an all red LED. I am not super handy so am not even going to venture to build my own so might have to go w. a ready built unit. Because I am a grad student the only two units within my range right now (other than individual lamps that would require me hold them) are the elixa or the DPL (I take from other posts that these are basically the same unit, am I wrong to think this?) My only concern is that both these units have infra-red light as well and I have read that this might not be an ideal option for a beginner. Any thought, suggestions, ideas? Have you guys had experience with either of these units who can share? People with particularly sensitive skin? Any feedback, suggestions, recs. are most welcomed. Thanks in advance.
For reference, here are the units I am looking at. Also I already did a search for both names and while saw two posts that directly addressd the Elixa unit when I did a search for DPL I was told the search did not pan out any result. Hence, I thank in advance for answering this question if it is repetitive. I noticed that DPL also sells refurbuished, any experience with these units purchased refurbished? Thanks so much!
