IPL uses a broad spectrum of light with multiple wavelengths, while laser hair removal uses a single focused wavelength of light. This means that IPL can target a wider area of skin in one pulse,Energy, frequency and hair colour are all determining factors in the efficacy of the treatment, while the light source, whether it is a laser or an intense pulsed flash light plays a minor role.

Compared to laser hair removal, IPL (intense pulsed light) hair removal is typically considered to be a safer and less painful option. The reason for this is that IPL employs a bulb that emits light across multiple wavelengths, as opposed to a laser that uses only a single wavelength. During IPL treatment, you may experience a mild tingling sensation in sensitive areas, but it should not be painful.

The main benefit of IPL hair removal technology is that it has no adverse effects on the skin or body.

With our device, following the recommended treatment plan, you should expect to see around 96% reduction in hair growth. The device works by targeting hair follicles that are in the 'anagen' growth phase. Keep in mind that hairs not in this phase during treatment may still grow back. To prevent this, we suggest doing maintenance treatments every 1-2 months as needed.

IPL treatment may not be suitable for everyone due to differences in hair and skin types. Typically, IPL and laser hair removal are not effective on blonde or red hair, as well as very dark skin. For more information, please refer to our helpful chart.
