Wax’s days are numbered. Hair removal and laser hair removal are imposing more and more every day. Even men are looking at these two ways to keep the hair under control (in recent months, the demand has risen by 40%). It’s easy to find these hair removal systems in beauty centers, clinics and even hairdressers. And hair removal technologies never stop improving. The children born today will not have to worry when they reach adolescence about the hair of tomorrow.
But which choice is better?: IPL hair removal or laser hair removal?
The difference lies in the type of light used. We could make the comparison of laser hair removal is a sniper of the follicles while IPL hair removal (intense pulsed light) is a shelling of the area.
Laser hair removal is much more precise and it’s more difficult to harm the patients with its use. But it is not suitable for all skin types. Black skin for example can not benefit from this technology nor is effective with gray hair or very fine and clear hair.
IPL Hair removal is more versatile. It is suitable with good results for any skin type. Its main drawback is that it can cause more burns and irritation. In this case it is especially important an experienced and well trained machine operator.
In the zones where the skin thickness is less, as groin and armpits, the waves emitted by the laser beams are more effective but also more painful, because they reach the deeper roots of the hair.
Instead, it is less effective in areas of hormonal influence, as in the chest area of women and men’s back.
However, even if it makes a difference, this system does not guarantee the complete disappearance of hair. Much depends on the area to be treated and the person, not just the number of sessions. As a rule will usually receive an average of five sessions spaced one to three months.
