The difference between Laser IPL, OPT and DPL in photorejuvenation

Laser

The English equivalent of laser is LASER, which is the abbreviation of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It means: light released by stimulated radiation, which fully illustrates the essence of laser.

Intense pulsed light

The photon rejuvenation, photon hair removal, and E-light we often talk about are all intense pulsed light. The English name for intense pulsed light is Intense Pulsed Light, and its English abbreviation is IPL, so many doctors directly call intense pulsed light IPL. Unlike lasers, strong pulsed light is characterized by a wide range of action and large diffusion during radiation.

For example, when treating red blood filaments (telangiectasia), it can also improve problems such as dull skin color and enlarged pores. This is because in addition to capillaries, intense pulsed light also targets melanin and collagen in dermal tissue. kick in.

In a narrow sense, laser is more “advanced” than intense pulsed light. Therefore, when removing freckles, birthmarks, and hair removal, the price of using laser equipment is higher than that of using intense pulsed light equipment.
In layman’s terms, laser is a kind of light with precise effect and low diffusion during radiation. For example, when treating freckles, laser only targets the melanin in the dermis and does not affect the water molecules, hemoglobin or capillaries in the skin. effect.

Intense pulsed light: We often say that photon skin rejuvenation, photon hair removal, and E-light belong to intense pulsed light. The English name of intense pulsed light is Intense Pulsed Light, and its English abbreviation is IPL. Therefore, many doctors directly use intense pulsed light. Light is called IPL.

Different from laser, intense pulsed light is a continuous multi-wavelength incoherent light, and the wavelength range is generally between 500 and 1200 nm. It is characterized by a wide range of action and a large degree of diffusion during radiation.

For example: in the treatment of red blood capillaries (telangiectasia), it can also improve problems such as dull skin and large pores. This is because the effect of intense pulsed light is not only on capillaries, but also on melanin and collagen in dermal tissue. kick in.

In a narrow sense, laser is more “advanced” than IPL, so when doing freckle removal, birthmark removal, and hair removal, the use of laser equipment is more expensive than the use of IPL equipment.

What is OPT?

OPT is an upgraded version of IPL, which is the abbreviation of Optimal Pulsed Light, which means “perfect pulsed light” in Chinese. To put it bluntly, it is much better than the traditional IPL (or photorejuvenation) in terms of treatment effect and safety, and can truly achieve the purpose of improving skin quality. Compared with traditional IPL, OPT has the following advantages:
1. OPT is a uniform square wave, which eliminates the energy peak that exceeds the treatment energy in the initial part, effectively controls the entire treatment process, and improves safety.

2. Avoid the problem that the subsequent pulse energy attenuation cannot reach the therapeutic energy, and improve the effectiveness.

3. Each pulse or sub-pulse is a uniform square wave distribution, with excellent treatment reproducibility and repeatability.

What is DPL?

DPL is a high-level upgraded version of IPL. It is the abbreviation of Dye Pulsed Light, which means “dye pulsed light” in Chinese. Many doctors call it narrow-spectrum light skin rejuvenation and precise skin rejuvenation. It is also greatly shortened and can excite selected narrow-spectrum pulsed light in the 100nm band. DPL has the following advantages:

1. DPL Accurate 500: The intense pulsed light spectrum is compressed within 500 to 600 nm, and contains two oxyhemoglobin absorption peaks at the same time, and the spectrum is more targeted. It is used for telangiectasia, post-acne erythema, facial flushing, port wine stains and other vascular disease treatment.

2. DPL Precision 550: The intense pulsed light spectrum is compressed within 550 to 650 nm, while ensuring the ratio of melanin absorption rate and penetration depth, for the treatment of pigmented diseases such as freckles, sun spots, and age spots.

3. DPL precision 650: Intense pulsed light wave is compressed within 650 to 950nm. According to the selective photothermal effect of pulsed light, it acts on the hair follicle, increases the temperature of the hair follicle, destroys the growth cells of the hair follicle, and does not damage the epidermis in advance. down, so as to achieve the effect of sexual hair removal.
