IPL vs Laser Hair Removal

Well before we compare that what are the points of differences between the two hair removal techniques and wrinkle reducers and which one is a better option than the other, let us understand why these treatment methods are in the news these days. The main reason is the obvious one that they are the best methods to remove unwanted hair. Some people also contradict this statement and comment that these methods are not permanent. Some contradict and comment that though these methods are permanent bu they actually are not permanent hair removal methods. They are permanent hair reduction methods.

So, if you are going for IPL or laser hair removal then do keep in mind that you can have hair at the point under surgery but once in a bluemoon. The principle behind both the treatment methods include heating the melanin under the hair follies. Those people who are tanned in sun can suffer from side effects like bruises because of the reason that melanin under their skin can also get heated while the laser is heating the melanin under the hair follies.

Talking about the differences, between the IPL laser (intense pulsified laser) and laser treatment. The first thing is the coverage area of IPL is almost 8 times the laser spots that can be treated in one go. Another technical difference is the wavelength used. Laser uses a single wavelength while IPL uses a waveband. Thus it will be much safer to opt for IPL if you are some with tanned skin.
