What is the difference between electrolysis, laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)?
• During electrolysis, a needle is inserted into each hair follicle, one at a time, which is very time-consuming. • Lasers and IPL’s use light to target larger areas, and are therefore more efficient. For this reason, larger areas can be treated at each session. For a few stray hairs, electrology may be the most cost effective treatment. • Laser and lights are generally more selective in destroying the hair in the follicle. • A laser is a very bright intensified one colour light, whereas IPL’s are filtered lights and not just one colour but a part of the light spectrum.
