Difference Between Laser and IPL Hair Removal
Jun
Exhausted by temporary methods of hair removal such as shaving, plucking and waxing, many people have begun using laser hair removal (LHR) or intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments as a more permanent solution to their needs. But what’s the difference?
When used for hair removal, both LHR and IPL use light to get rid of unwanted hair and prevent it from growing back. It’s a common misconception that the two methods operate on the same technology. In reality, IPL and laser hair removal do not produce the same results.
IPL Hair Removal
Intense pulsed light (IPL) uses a broad-spectrum light with varying wavelengths that penetrate the skin at different depths. Compared to a laser, which uses a single-spectrum light, IPL gives off light energy that is more gentle and broader ranged.
To elaborate, an IPL device emits pulses of light, which are absorbed by the pigment in hair follicles below the skin’s surface. The light turns to heat that is absorbed by the skin, and essentially destroys the follicle—causing hair to fall off and regrowth to slow down significantly, at least for some period of time.
Moreover, broad-spectrum light naturally spreads out. This allows IPL hair removal devices to cover relatively larger areas of skin than laser hair removal devices. So, IPL treatments are generally faster but more IPL sessions are required to get the same results as laser hair removal procedures.
Laser Hair Removal
On the other hand, in laser hair removal, medical grade lasers emit a single wavelength of light that is specifically focused on a targeted area. The light emitted is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This laser zooms in on the hair shaft and prevents contact with the surrounding skin.
To conclude, when a decision about which more permanent hair removal methods to go for, understanding these differences is important. This is so that you can choose the method that’s right for you! For at home IPL devices, look no further than Titan.
