Summer is here, and it’s time to wear short skirts and vests again! Ladies and gentlemen, when you were about to show your legs and arms, did you notice that your exposed body hair affected your appearance? So, it’s time for hair removal!
In order to achieve the effect of permanent hair removal, many people choose to use beauty equipment to remove hair. There is no doubt that the common instruments used for hair removal on the market are IPL machine and Diode laser machine. So what is the difference between these two instruments? Which device is better for hair removal?
In terms of wavelength,
The biggest difference between diode laser hair removal and IPL hair removal is the wavelength of light.
1. The diode laser machine is a single wavelength of light. The common wavelengths of diode laser are 808nm, 755nm, 1064nm—808nm,1064nm is suitable for dark skinned people; 755nm is suitable for white skinned people. The diode laser is coherent light and has stronger targeting.
2. The IPL machine is a range light. Although IPL is a strong light, similar to a laser, but with a wider wavelength band, it is incoherent light.
In terms of hair removal cycle,
Due to the different wavelengths, the effects of the two will be somewhat different.
1. Diode laser uses a single light with wavelengths of 808nm, 755nm, 1064nm. The light source is more concentrated, and the hair removal effect is naturally better than IPL. Assuming that laser hair removal takes 3 times, IPL may need 4-5 times.
2. The cycle of removing hair with IPL machine is longer than that with diode laser, and it takes several more times to remove hair.
But the biggest advantage of IPLmachine is that the wavelength is long enough, in addition to hair removal, it can also have a certain effect of firming and rejuvenating the skin.
The wavelength of IPL is between 500-1200, including yellow light, orange light, red light, and infrared light. Among them, yellow, orange and red can be used for beauty projects.
In terms of hair removal effect,
In fact, the effect of Diode laser and ipl machine is almost the same.
1. In the short term, it may be faster to use a diode laser for hair removal.
2. From the long-term results, the hair removal effect of the two machines is the same.
In terms of the length of time required for a single hair removal and the operator’s experience,
1. Diode laser: Because the light spot of the Diode lasermachine is very small, it can only work on a small area at a time. If the diode laser is used to remove the hair on the whole body, the working time will be longer, and the operator’s hands will feel very tired.
2. IPL machine: The IPL spot is large, generally 3cm² at a time, and it takes 15-20 minutes to remove hair from the whole body. The working time is relatively short, and the operator experience is better.
To sum up:
For complete and permanent hair removal, Diode laser requires a shorter treatment cycle. If you choose to go to a beauty salon to remove hair, or want to quickly achieve permanent hair removal treatment results, or need to remove local hair (such as lip hair, armpit hair, leg hair, etc.), it is more suitable to choose diode laser.
However, if there is a need for whole body hair removal, or if you choose to remove hair yourself at home, it is better to use an IPL machine for hair removal.
