l Laser or IPL?
Often we asked by our clients what the difference between Laser and IPL hair
removal?
Lasers utilize one wavelength to selectively target one specific chromophore, which is melanin.This allows for deeper penetration and the energy is directed straight to the
target and not absorbed by the other chromophores in the path of the beam. Lasers
will selectively destroy specific targets and not cause harm to the surrounding tissue when used properly. Laser machines are set to emit the exact wavelength required to treat
you hair.IPL devices provide a broad range of wavelengths that are absorbed by various chromophores within the skin and due to the broad spectrum of light, obtaining sufficient energy to destroy certain deep targets such as hair often presents a challenge. Smaller more superficial targets suchas pigment and vascular legions absorb the majority of the energy. In order to heat deeper targets, higher energy levels need to be employed which increase the risk of burns and various complications. These adverse effects include hyper-pigmentation, hypo pigmentation, blistering and potentially scarring.
The cost of IPL treatment sometime is cheaper because of the lower equipment cost. But lower efficiency demands more treatments to be done on the same area and at the end full course of IPL hair removal will cost you more than Laser Hair Removal.
