If you have ever thought about removing unwanted hair forever, IPL and laser hair removal are certainly the two options you have in mind. But although they look almost the same, you should know that each of these methods has its own characteristics. And the main difference is that the light that both methods use is not the same.

Here we will tell you about the differences between these two effective methods of permanent hair removal, so you can choose the one that is more suitable for you, and so you can enjoy silky smooth skin!

 

 

 

It all depends on the light ...

The difference between IPL and laser hair removal is the light used. The pulse of the laser is highly concentrated, powerful light with a single wavelength. It is aimed in one direction and is able to focus at a small point. Thus, the light pulse acts selectively on the hair and their structures without damaging the surrounding skin. That is, laser hair removal is more precisely aimed at the hair, while IPL covers the entire area. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. IPLs, on the other hand, use a wider range of visible light with different wavelengths. The differences in the technologies themselves mean that the effect we can expect from them is different. They do not affect the skin or hair in the same way. Also, laser hair removal is best done during the seasons when the sun is not as intense.

IPL - for all skin types

While laser hair removal is most effective for darker hair contrasting with light skin, IPL can be done for all skin types and hair color. Whether you are blond or have a darker skin tone, with IPL hair removal you can say "Goodbye!" forever on those little hairs that annoyed you so much.

 

Laser - more efficiency, fewer sessions

Laser hair removal, on the other hand, is most effective (for light skin and dark hair) because the light wave it emits is accurate and burns the entire hair to its roots. Which means fewer sessions will be needed and you'll save time!

 

Sensitive skin? IPL is the answer

Because the laser is more effective, the waves it emits to remove hair are more painful because it burns them to the root. Therefore, if you have very sensitive skin, IPL is best for you and you will not need to suffer to be beautiful.

 

And the prize goes to ...

The truth is that both types of hair removal can have a wonderful effect, it all depends on your skin type and how the hair is applied. But if you have very light hair or very sensitive skin, IPL is ideal for you, while if you have darker hair and light skin, with laser hair removal you can say goodbye to those small irritating hairs in a very short time. You choose! And the great news is that you can now do it in the comfort of your own home, with home appliances, in a safe and efficient way when you choose, and without having to schedule your schedule with anyone.
