/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.
