Is IPL hair removal the same as laser hair removal?
Technically, IPL is not the same as laser hair removal. IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light which involves a broad spectrum of light, while lasers involve the use of only one wavelength of light.
In practical terms, laser hair removal is very effective as it can alter the hair follicle itself. It is thus more permanent and fewer treatments are required. However, as the laser needs to target the hairs one by one, it is usually more expensive.
IPL generally requires more treatments in order to remove hair permanently. On the other hand, it can be cheaper overall than laser treatments.
How does IPL hair removal machine work?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It’s not a laser, but it too uses light energy to slow and reduce hair growth on your body and face.
IPL uses a xenon flashlamp giving bursts of diffuse, non-coherent light. This means it’s made of many different wavelengths or colors and can’t focus as a laser can. The wavelengths for IPL are 500nm to 1200nm.
IPL proved as popular as laser hair removal and many clinical studies led to improvements in technology, safety, comfort and results. It’s available on the high street for cost effective long-term professional hair removal.
*IPL for hair removal is of a several wavelengths absorbed by melanin. It travels through your skin and is absorbed by the hair at different depths in the follicle.
