Not all Lasers are created the same
When considering laser treatments, it is essential to understand the differences between various types of lasers. Different lasers use varying wavelengths and technologies that target specific concerns for different skin types.
For example, Diode lasers are often used for hair removal due to their effectiveness at targeting hair follicles, destroying the hair at the root with minimal effect on surrounding skin. This allows the Diode laser to treat many skin tones and types. Whereas other laser technologies, such as Nd:YAG lasers penetrate hair through the skin cells.
IPL is another popular method used for hair removal, however IPL is not a true laser. During the treatment, a handheld device emits pulses of broad-spectrum light that target the melanin in the hair follicles. The melanin absorbs the light, which turns into heat, damaging the hair follicle to inhibit future hair growth.
