absorption properties might have changed due to the long term effects of previous treatments. This is especially true with laser tattoo removal when every treatment induces a little ‘micro-scarring’ leading to increasing levels of scattering at each subsequent session.
Further, I have also found many IPL systems operating poorly. They do not deliver the energies/fluences that they claim. In one case, I measured the output at only 20% of the claimed fluence on the screen!!! This is simply dismal!
Finally, choosing the correct parameters is undoubtedly a ‘tricky’ subject. It is very difficult to understand this stuff properly without having a good understanding of the condition you are treating and the equipment you plan to use.
Your best option might be to seek out some good training to better understand these issues....
I hope this helps.
Ciao for now, Mike.
