Top Differences Between IPL hair removal treatments& Laser Treatments

For a long time, waxing Auckland was the way people used to treat the hair growth. This made it easy for them to remove the unnecessary hair on the body, without wasting too much of their time. However, the whole concept was painful and temporary. So, every month you had to make sure you got the hair removed.

That’s when the laser treatments came into existence. It helped with permanent hair removal, with a lot less pain and effort. Advancements in the laser techniques brought forward the IPL hair removal treatments, which is again long-term and somewhat different from the laser techniques. Here we will study the differences between laser and IPL techniques.

IPL vs Laser Treatments

On the face of it, both treatments seem to be working on the same principle- effective absorption of the light energy along the areas of the body with high pigmentation. The result is heated up hair, which results in follicle damage, thus slowing down the hair growth.

So, what is the major difference between the two treatments. The light source used for IPL hair removal treatmentsis slightly different from the ones used in laser treatment.
The broad spectrum visible light is what helps the IPL treatments, while it is the properties of laser light that manages to effectively heat up the follicle in case of laser treatment.

The premise is simple however, it is the application that takes up half the brain. For instance, you ought to know how to apply the light without affecting the areas nearby, and ensure that the freckles or moles as well as the darker skin tend to absorb more light than the other parts of the skin. The idea is to lighten up the skin while taking care of permanency

Let’s individually study each of the methods in order to understand how they work, and how they can help
•    IPL or best known as Intense Pulsed Light, works with the broad spectrum of visible light. They tend to control shorter wavelengths and are created in a way that they aim to target the specific areas. Normally, the IPL treatments are designed to target the melanin pigment on your skin and in your hair. The treatment works as in the case of treatment of spider vein, targets the haemoglobin in the blood. The light energy is thus absorbed by the structure and transferred into heat energy, which then damages the follicle

•    Laser techniques blast the follicles with light energy, heat them and destroy the hair in the area. The laser techniques use specific laser property to be able to destroy the follicles. The lasers are pretty controlled, which is why you can easily apply them to a specific area. These then produce a beam of light, which contain a single colour of light. Basically, they offer a concentrated blast of light, which removes the hair while damaging the follicle.

So, whether you want to opt for the laser treatment or the IPL treatment, in place of the waxing Auckland treatment is entirely your choice and depends on what you favour more.
