Laser and IPL both use light that is converted into heat. The light from the laser has one specific color and therefore one wavelength. Because of this, the light that the laser emits is very specific and only grabs the chromophore of this particular light. With laser hair removal, for example, the laser only picks up the dark color of the pigment in the hair root. Because the laser uses a long wavelength, it is able to get deep into the hair root. IPL uses multiple short wavelengths and is therefore less specific than a laser. Due to the short wavelengths, the IPL remains more superficial and in the case of laser hair removal it can cause more damage in surrounding tissue. IPL is also not suitable for people with a tinted skin type. Our lasers are suitable for treating all skin types
