Laser Hair Removal Technologies
Diode lasers produce a single spectrum of intensely concentrated pure red light in one colour and wavelength. The laser precisely targets the dark pigment (melanin) in your hair follicle, heats it, and disables its ability to regrow without harming the surrounding skin.
IPL Laser Hair Removal
IPL devices provide a broad spectrum of colours and wavelengths (like a light bulb) without focusing the light energy to a concentrated beam. Because IPL produces a range of different wavelengths and colours that are dispersed at various levels of depths, the diffused energy not only targets the melanin in your hair follicle, but also the surrounding skin.
DIODE LASER TECHNOLOGY
The diode laser’s specific wavelength is optimised for hair removal.*
The laser beam allows for deep, powerful, and precise penetration directly targeted to the hair follicle, achieving accurate, permanent results. Once the hair follicle has been disabled, it loses its ability to regrow hair.
INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) TECHNOLOGY
IPL can reduce and slow down hair regrowth but cannot permanently remove the hair. Only a small percentage of the IPL energy is effectively absorbed by the hair follicle to achieve hair reduction. Therefore, more and more regular treatments are needed as thicker and deeper hair follicles might not be effectively reached.
DOES LASER OR IPL HURT?
Diode Laser: It varies per user. On the higher settings, some users might feel a warm pricking sensation, while others report no discomfort.
IPL: Once again, it varies per user. Because IPL uses various wavelengths in each pulse and also diffuses on the skin surrounding the hair follicle, some users may feel an increased level of discomfort.
What is the best for hair removal
IPL was popular in the past as it was a lower cost technology however it has limitations on power and cooling so treatment can be less effective, carry higher potential for side effects and is more uncomfortable than the latest diode laser technology. The Primelase laser is the worlds most powerful diode laser for hair removal. With that power it is also the fastest procedure with full legs treated in 10-15 minutes. It also can deliver each pulse incredibly quickly (unique short pulse duration) which makes is as effective on lighter finer hair as it is on darker thicker hair so you will achieve maximum results in less treatments that with an IPL laser saving time and money. In addition Primelase has a very sophisticated integrated skin cooling technology which ensures the surface of the skin is kept cool, comfortable and protected throughout allowing maximum energy down into the hair follicle for optimal results.
Although different methods offer varying benefits and advantages, diode laser hair removal is the proven method for the safest, fastest, and most effective hair removal for patients of any skin tone/hair color combination.
