The Difference between Medical Lasers and IPL's for hair removal.

It is quiet a common mistake to think that IPL’s and medical Lasers are the same. This is understandable because the industry is entirely is unregulated in Ontario, and anyone can claim to be providing laser hair removal treatments when in fact they are using only an IPL.  The barriers to entry to the industry with an IPL are very low because IPLs are relatively inexpensive when compared to the top of the line medical lasers used at Hairaway Canada at its hair removal clinic in Markham.

IPL is an acronym for Intense Pulsed Light and this is a system that provides treatment using a full spectrum of light with differing wavelengths that are scattered. Medical lasers, however use only one specific wavelength of light. This is crucial to the understanding of the differences between these systems. IPL systems release light over a wide wavelength range trying to catch numerous anatomical structures in one go. This is very different from a medical laser, which can only deliver one specific, yet very powerful, wavelength. The importance of wavelengths is that different wavelengths are absorbed by different colors. The color of the hair follicle (the melanin)  is the target in hair removal and the very powerful medical lasers like the one employed by Hairaway Canada at its hair removal clinic in Markham focus and deliver this intense energy to the hair follicle.

The Medical lasers used at Hairaway Canada work by sending intense energy into the hair follicles. Once the light is absorbed in the hair follicle, the light converts to heat and destroys the hair follicle resulting in its elimination.

Medical Lasers were developed to provide permanent hair removal solutions, where as IPL was originally developed to treat a variety of skin conditions and hair loss came as a side effect. Because it targets a different pigment, the hair removal properties of the IPL are limited. Medical Laser hair removal has proven to be much more effective IPL hair removal.  

Hairaway Canada has invested $500, 000 in the latest, most advanced and most effective medical Laser systems in its hair removal clinic in Markham. These systems strictly target the hair follicle resulting in their damage and happier patients.

To conclude, the laser hair removal systems of Hairaway Canada are a much more effective alternative than IPLs when seeking hair removal solutions.
