Don’t fear the laser.

In a few cases, laser hair removal has gotten a bad rap however, we feel, with the proper certification and high-end technology (both of which we Silky Skin Laser offers), as well as with a skin expert consultation – you shouldn’t go forward with any treatment unless it’s right for you. Check out what Ashley has to say about this below.

Laser Hair Removal Technology

What’s the difference between Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)?

Some laser hair removal centers use IPL, which should not be mistaken for laser. IPL devices use a very intense flash of light, like the flash on old cameras. They can be effective for those with light skin and dark hair, but those with darker skin could receive burns if they were to use IPL.

True laser machines use a single beam of light at specific wavelengths, which makes it safer and effective for a wider range of skin types. The Cutera Nd:YAG wavelength is the safest for dark or tanned skin.

Here are some differences between the two technologies:

	Laser (Nd:YAG)	Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Hair Removal (Light Skin) Hair Removal (Dark Skin) Spider veins Superficial Pigmentation Machine Cost	Excellent Excellent Excellent Excellent $100K and up	Good May cause burns Very Good (Light skin only) Excellent (Light skin only) $25K – $40K

“Many providers who use IPL devices typically market them as lasers despite the fact that they are not, by definition, lasers. Consumers are becoming more aware of these differences and are asking wavelength specific questions during consultations as they understand what they should look for as they shop.”

Jay M. Kulkin, MD MBA FACOG, Women’s Institute For Health PC

“I am not convinced that a 500 watt IPL can outperform a 20,000 watt laser in hair removal as much as I know a Hyundai cannot outperform a BMW.“
