IPL versus laser hair removal: Comparison and merits of both

To cite the difference very briefly, one can say that laser technique targets smaller number of hair follicles at a time but the light beam goes so deep that those follicles get irreversibly and permanently damaged. On the other hand, IPL method targets a larger number of follicles at a time but since the beam does not travel too deep beneath the epidermis, the follicles may not burn out entirely. It is for this reason that most men notice that hair growth ceases after 2-3 sessions of intense pulsed light treatment. But the advantage it has over the laser method is that IPL can help you get rid of more hairs in quicker time, even if not totally permanently.

So, those looking for a quick fix will be at an advantageous position with Viss IPL treatments where the person gets to save a lot of time. Moreover, the scientifically-endorsed method is risk-free and painless and can be carried out from one’s domestic comforts.

Coming to a more technical explanation, it can be said that laser machines emit light of higher wavelength. Since the wavelength is very high, the light beam is narrow and, hence, more focused. This is more effective for treatment of those areas where the hair density is less. In case, the density of hair is quite sizeable on the region, it can be exhaustingly time-consuming to burn off all the hairs using laser technique. In such a scenario, the Viss IPL laser hair removal system will be more effective. It involves light beams of lower wavelength that are wider, albeit shallower. So, the beam fails to penetrate the deeper skin layers but to make up for the lack of depth, it covers a wider area on the surface. So, the beam can kill instantly more hairs on a particular region. Of course, since the beam will not go too deep, the follicle may not get completely burnt and the person will see reemergence of hairs after a few days. Yet, the product ensures that the hair formation is discouraged and is rooted out of the system by the next treatment session or so.

Choosing between the two can be a tricky task since both have their own merits. Technically, they are both scientifically advanced systems, espoused to high-end technology. They both boast of extremely high safety quotient and both will leave you fully satisfied. Most hairy men who are seeking to eliminate the huge chunks of hairs in shorter time may have a leaning towards IPL though. Those who want to instantly remove hair permanently after the first use can opt for laser technique. But it is to be noted that IPL treatment too ensures permanent loss of hair, albeit after the first 2-3 uses.
