The difference between laser hair removal and IPL hair removal

If you have been looking for permanent hair removal treatment devices for your clinic or aesthetic center, then you have probably come across both laser hair removal and IPL and wondered the difference between them.


The main difference between laser and IPL is the type of light used.


IPL is a broadband pulsed light source, while laser is a monochromatic coherent light source. Both methods target the melanin in the hair follicles and provide permanent results.

Laser hair removal is safer, more effective, and the only hair removal method.


Lasers have three unique properties


Lasers are monochromatic, meaning that the light emitted from the laser has one wavelength (color). In contrast, ordinary white light is a combination of many different wavelengths (colors).


Laser light is coherent, which means the light is fully enhanced and does not cancel itself out. Coherent light produced by a laser differs from ordinary light in that it consists of waves of the same wavelength and in phase (that is, in sync with each other)—ordinary light contains many different wavelengths and phase relationships.


Laser light is "collimated," meaning that the light waves are parallel. This makes the laser very powerful, as almost 100% of the light is effective in treating hair loss.


* Usually produces faster results

* Generally requires fewer sessions overall, but is more expensive

* Better for darker skin than IPL

* More accurate than IPL



Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)


Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is not monochromatic, which means IPL comes in many different colors, only a small number of which are effective for hair removal treatment.

IPL is incoherent and non-boosting, so it is less effective in treating hair loss.

IPL is not collimated, so it spreads out quickly, making it less effective in hair loss treatments.

* Usually less expensive than laser hair removal

* Usually results in faster treatment times than laser hair removal

* Works better on light hair and light skin tones than other shades

*Greater coverage than laser hair removal



The exact type of hair removal technique you should choose depends on your hair type and texture, your skin type, complexion and body shape.
