IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It is a form of light therapy which uses different light wave lengths that scatter across your skin at different depths and that is how it reaches the different hair follicles deep down.
IPL is also used for other different treatments. It helps reduce pigmentation, wrinkles, blemishes and of course hair.
IPL is different from a laser hair removal device. Laser hair removal devices are used in Med Spas and Derm Clinics that focus on small skin areas. It is a small controlled area of skin that laser hair removal devices focuses on. While IPL uses broad spectrum of visible lights at different wave lengths which covers a lot more area of skin vs laser hair removal which covers a smaller area. Which makes it safe and easy to use at hope and saves a lot more money.
