IPL Laser

It’s a bit perverse, but it’s one of the most frequently asked questions on Google.

A laser is not an IPL and an IPL is not a laser.

IPL is a device that uses intense flashes of light usually coming from a xenon lamp. This type of light is:

  •   Polychromatic
  •   Diffuse
  •   Incoherent.

 

The laser, on the other hand, is:

  •   Monochromatic
  •   Collimated
  •   Coherent.

Therefore, it is a completely different form of light energy, allowing for a different treatment application.
