What is the difference between Laser and IPL?
LASER is a very special type of light that has three characteristics that separate it as the brightest, most powerful light known to mankind. LASER light is monochromatic (i.e. one color) so this means nearly 100% of LASER light is ONE pure color.
Intense pulse light (IPL) is NOT monochromatic, meaning that IPL has many different colors and only a small percentage of these colors are effective in the treatment of hair reduction. LASER is collimated meaning it’s slow to diverge or spread out. This makes LASER light very powerful as nearly 100% of the light can be effective in the treatment of hair reduction.
IPL is NOT collimated and so therefore is quick to spread out making it less effective in the treatment of hair reduction. Finally LASER is coherent meaning that the light is totally reinforcing and doesn’t cancel itself out whereas IPL is NOT coherent and is NOT reinforcing making it less effective in the treatment of hair reduction. Clinical Studies (link to studies) have been performed comparing the effectiveness of LASER versus IPL in the treatment of hair reduction and we feel that LASER is far more effective at hair reduction than that of IPL.* This information has been provided by Candela Corporation*
