What is the difference between LASER and IPL

In short, laser is mono-chromatic, that is, one specific wavelength. IPL is poly-chromatic, which uses multiple wavelengths. However, not all IPL’s and lasers are the same, these are just generic terms –it’s a bit like comparing cars: hatch-backs vs sedans. You need to know what make and model it is:
within that make, how good the engine is, if it’s been properly serviced and how it has been maintained etc.
The light that is emitted at a particular wavelength is the same whether it is laser or IPL.
What will vary is:
The energy level – how powerful the system is.
The pulse width – which impacts depth of penetration and safety
The wavelength – If the wavelength is not ideal for a particular treatment, it doesn’t matter if you have the best laser or IPL, it will not deliver the best result.
Lens Temperature (ie: integrated cooling)
Because our IPL is so adaptable we can choose different wavelengths, pulse widths, energy levels and temperature. Some other IPL machine’s don’t have these functions because they’re preset, ours are not.
Therefore, we can specifically target and effectively treat a particular concern.  Once we have the right wavelength, pulse width and energy levels, the other thing to consider is safety.  Since our energy is delivered in a smooth pulse rather than multi spiking (one long smooth pulse as opposed to lots of spiking pulses) it reduces risks.
Having integrated cooling allows our system to deliver more energy safely whilst simultaneously cooling the top layer of the skin to 5 degrees. What that means to you, is less treatments in a safer and more comfortable way. In addition to that the use of sapphire crystal is safer than glass, as glass tends to heat up (thus pitting), whereas sapphire conducts similar to metal, allowing the integrated cooling to work at an optimum level. Inversely when other methods are used such as ice-packing, cold air blowers, chillers or chryo-spray that may pre-cool the target too much, reducing the effectiveness of the treatment, thus the need for more treatments.
