IPL LASER

IPL vs Lasers

IPL technology and lasers are both laser and intense pulsed light that use light to heat the hair follicle and prevent regrowth. However, the technology used to deliver the light is really quite different – with the key difference being the kind of light itself. However, IPL and lasers are two famous types of permanent hair reduction /removal treatments that use light to reduce hair in particular areas of the body.

Why choose IPL latest Technology

As we know Choosing lasers vs. IPL hair removal is a matter of personal choice, but some benefits for IPL latest technology are results are obvious, budget-friendly, less painful, no burning, treat skin type 1 to 6, results are quicker and lasting, treat a variety of skin condition.

What is IPL technology

• The Desmolase IPL Therapy system is a high-intensity pulsed light treatment system.

• The unit is controlled by the computer of the main console, operating interface, and treatment heads.

• The embedded microprocessor monitors can control the system continually.

• IPL is a broad range of visible, incoherent, non laser, and filtered light of 560-1200 nm wavelength selection.

• The effects of IPL technology targeted skin include thermal, mechanical, electromagnetic, photochemistry, and physical stimulation effects, etc.

• The working principle of IPL is to utilize its photo thermolysis effect to treat skin lesions like pigmentation, benign vascular disease, and unwanted hair.

Hair removal with IPL technology

The treatment principle of IPL hair removal is the high power xenon lamp light with a wide spectrum range of 690 -1200nm released by the filter that permeates the epidermis to the dermis of the skin where hair follicles are located. Through the selective absorption elements, the light is absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles, then the light is transferred into heat energy-burning and destroying the follicles so the hair stops growing.

Treating pigmented skin with IPL technology

The treatment principle of abnormally pigmented skin is to utilize the affection of the selective photo thermolysis that is 560 -1200nm intense pulse light penetrates into the skin, is absorbed by the abnormal pigments flakes and clusters then changes into heat energy which makes pigment breakdown. The decomposed debris is peeled off within 5-14 days and the rest of them are swallowed by phagocytes. And removed out of the body. So, the color of pigmentation becomes slight or returns to normal after treatment.

Treating vascular disease with IPL technology

The treatment principle of benign vascular disease is the variety of wavelengths in the 560-1200 nm group, specifically targeting hemoglobin. When the light is exposed on the skin, the hemoglobin absorbs it and then transforms into heat energy. Through photothermal effect, hemoglobin becomes denatured and coagulated, and the endothelial cells of the capillary become swollen and inflamed. Gradually the capillaries close. Due to the feature of the shot pulse width and low-density

energy of IPL and more hemoglobin in the expanded capillaries, the light can concentrate more heat to the hemoglobin and protect the normal skin around it from being injured.
