Laser and IPL both target hair follicles using light and heat, but the key difference lies in the type of light they use. In a nutshell, IPL devices produce a wide range of light wavelengths, creating a white flash, while lasers use a single focused wavelength, similar to a laser pointer.
Here's a quick breakdown of the differences:
Treatment Time: IPL has a larger treatment window, covering more area at once, making it faster than laser. Glazee Skin products allow you to complete a full body treatment in under 15 minutes!
Pain Rating: Laser treatment, with its concentrated beam, is often reported as more painful than IPL treatment.
Cost: Laser treatment is pricier due to the expense of generating laser light. IPL is generally more affordable, especially for at-home use.
Longevity of Results: While laser results may require fewer top-ups, both methods need regular treatments to prevent hair regrowth. With Glazee Skin Sapphire+, top-up treatments are needed around every 4-8 weeks.
Safety: IPL is considered safer for at-home use, as its light is less concentrated. Glazee Skin products are clinically proven to be safe and effective, offering salon-standard IPL technology at home.
In a nutshell, IPL delivers comparable results to laser treatments with the added benefits of time and cost savings, all from the comfort of your home. What's not to love?
