Theme of IPL is Intense Pulsed Light.This is a type of light with a wavelength range of 400-1200nm. It is not a laser, but a unique type of light.
But no matter what type of light it is, it will have a wavelength, which is related to the depth of the skin it reaches. Due to the photothermal effect, light energy will be converted into heat energy, which will heat the skin and affect the target cells of the human body. For example, in the target cells of the dermis, when the target tissue is heated to a certain degree, it will stimulate the body’s self-regeneration mechanism, thereby promoting the proliferation of new cells. This process of accelerating metabolism and stimulating the formation of new cells is the effect that anti-aging needs to achieve.
Back to the point, for IPL, not all band ranges are commonly used. The most basic function of an IPL laser machine is hair removal and skin rejuvenation.
Classic IPL device.
The IPL equipment of Liton Laser provides multiple band ranges and is equipped with multiple handles or replaceable wavelength filters. The two most commonly used band handles are: 695 handle (wavelength range: 695-1200nm) and 560 handle (wavelength range: 560-1200nm.
IPL hair removal handpiece.
IPL photon hair removal, also known as intense pulsed light hair removal, is a method of using wide-spectrum visible light of specific wavelengths. Through selective photothermal effect, it uses the absorption of light of specific wavelengths by melanocytes in hair follicles to generate heat in the hair follicles, thereby selectively destroying the hair follicles while avoiding damage to surrounding tissues to achieve the effect of removing hair.
The 695 handle, also called the hair removal handle.has a wavelength range from 695nm to 1200nm. We also know that the wavelengths with the best hair removal effect are 808nm and 1064nm, and these two bands are within the wavelength range of the 695 handle, so the commonly used IPL hair removal handle is the wavelength from 695-1200nm. This is also the experience of Litong Laser in more than 20 years of business and selling multiple IPLs. The handle of this band is the most suitable for hair removal among IPL devices.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation Handpiece.
IPL (intense pulsed light) can enhance the proliferation of fibroblasts, thereby promoting the regeneration of collagen and improving the appearance of the skin. It further promotes the synthesis of procollagen by increasing the transcription level of type I and type III procollagen mRNA in fibroblasts.
IPL can promote the renewal and synthesis of elastic fibers, help improve skin quality and relieve skin sagging. MMP can accelerate the decomposition of collagen and other extracellular matrices. Studies have shown that IPL irradiation can change the expression of MMP, which has a positive effect on skin rejuvenation.
The 560 handle, also called the skin rejuvenation handle.has a wavelength range of 560nm to 1200nm. This handle has a wider range and a lower wavelength. This is because skin rejuvenation does not need to reach the hair follicles, but only needs to be heated in the epidermis to make the human body slightly hot, stimulate the production of collagen, accelerate metabolism, and make the skin smoother.
For other types of handles, there are also unique uses. Different wavelengths reach different depths of the skin and can achieve different effects, but the two main uses of IPL are the two functions mentioned above.
The difference between IPL hair removal and diode laser hair removal?
Some people may wonder, diode hair removal machines can also remove hair, so what is the difference between them and IPL hair removal?
There are actually differences. First of all, diode hair removal belongs to the laser category. It has a single wavelength, while IPL belongs to a band. For hair removal effect, if you are a white European, you can use both. If you are a darker skinned person, diode hair removal will be better. However, since IPL hair removal uses a wavelength range, it not only removes hair, but also has a whitening effect. Another reason is about customs. Some countries have strict supervision on laser instruments, so you can choose IPL equipment for hair removal.
Advantages and disadvantages of diode laser hair removal:
Advantages of diode laser hair removal
Laser hair removal can achieve permanent hair removal through multiple treatments and is suitable for areas with dense hair; Less irritation: Laser hair removal can precisely act on hair follicles without causing much impact on the surrounding skin.
Disadvantages of diode laser hair removal
Higher cost: Compared with other hair removal methods, laser hair removal is more expensive and requires multiple treatments to see long-term effects; Slightly painful during treatment: Although there is a cooling device during treatment and surface anesthesia can be applied before treatment, laser hair removal may still cause slight pain or discomfort, especially for people with sensitive skin; Poor effect on light-colored hair: Laser hair removal mainly absorbs laser energy through melanin, so it is not suitable for light-colored hair.
Advantages and Disadvantages of IPL Hair Removal:
Advantages of IPL Hair Removal
Widely applicable: IPL can act on the skin surface and hair at the same time, suitable for large-area hair removal; The treatment process is more comfortable: Compared with laser, IPL has a wider wavelength, less irritation to the skin, less pain, and better comfort; Skin care function: In addition to hair removal, IPL can also treat a variety of skin problems at the same time, such as improving skin texture, brightening skin tone, and fading spots.
Disadvantages of IPL Hair Removal
The effect is not as long-lasting as laser: The penetration depth is not as good as laser, and the effect on deep hair follicles is limited, and more treatments are often required. Poor effect on light-colored hair: Since IPL mainly relies on melanin to absorb light energy, it has poor effect on light-colored, fine and soft hair.
