Two different technologies:(a)semiconductor laser (medical beauty)VS
(b)IPL intense pulsed light (home use)
semiconductor laser
Semiconductor laser hair removal instrument: higher energy and single wavelength.
Advantages: higher efficiency of hair removal in a single shot.
Disadvantages: However, the small optical port makes the operation difficult and requires professional operation. Non-professional operation will lose the advantage of high efficiency of hair removal. And a little careless operation will cause skin burns.
Under the conditions of home hair removal device, semiconductor laser has no advantage.
IPL intense pulsed light
IPL Intensive Pulsed Light Hair Removal Apparatus: Broad-spectrum light, with multiple wavelengths, lower energy than laser, but also balances energy.
Advantages: It is very convenient for non-professionals to use in the environment of home hair removal apparatus. Safe and effective.
Disadvantages: low energy, not as good as laser hair removal device, and it takes a long time to use.

Therefore, IPL strong pulsed light has become the mainstream of home hair removal devices, and even professional hair removal devices for medical aesthetics have begun to use IPL more for higher safety.
Principle of IPL hair removal instrument
•Selective photothermal effect:
Light can be divided into light of different wavelengths, and light of different wavelengths can be absorbed by designated biological tissues but not by other tissues.
Therefore, you can choose specific wavelengths of light to act on different tissues to complete medical operations, such as 560nm wavelength light to treat acne, 590nm wavelength to treat post-traumatic scars, 640nm wavelength to remove hair, 1565nm wavelength to treat large pores, etc. It is a very mature optical application. Laser hair removal has been developed for more than 20 years, and it is very mature in Europe, America, Japan, Korea, and China.
