has anyone ever heard of this hair removal method? i've never heard anyone mention it here or anywhere else. i've only heard of laser and electrolysis. i have a book that mentions it is usually done in a plastic surgeon's office, it uses light, and an average face can be done in 4 sessions with an average cost of 700$ per session.
there's alot more information on this website http://www.njcosmeticsurgery.com/at_a_glance/epiqa.html (http://www.njcosmeticsurgery.com/at_a_glance/epiqa.html)

This is the pulsed light system and $700 per session is ridicules. From all the reviews I have read, here and other places, pulsed light systems have very poor results and take much longer then Laser.
Of course I've never had IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) so I can't say from personal experience. But $700 per session?? that's just Highway robbery. Laser averages between $50 and $120 per session.
