Hi Tima,
An IPL is not a "true laser" but an Intense Pulse Light system. It wasn’t specifically designed for hair removal. Most doctors I work with use this system for facials, acne scarring and stretch marks after a lipo is performed.
A laser that is for hair removal is specifically engineered to target and kill off the hair follicle making it much more effective and safe. I see great results with lasers but have heard horror stories with IPL’s. If you google IPL horror stories or Laser hair removal horror stories, they scares you see are from an IPL not a real laser. A real laser can cost two to three times the amount, this is why most places that don’t specialize in laser will settle for an IPL.
Hope this helps.
