How Does Pulsed Light Technology Work?

Pulsed light technology employs high-intensity, short bursts of broad-spectrum light. This technique is utilized in various fields, including food processing and medical treatments. In the beauty industry, pulsed light is mainly used for skin rejuvenation and hair removal.

Unlike traditional lasers that emit a single, focused wavelength, pulsed light, often called Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), disperses multiple wavelengths over a wider area. While this can effectively address pigmentation and minor skin issues, it doesn’t match the precision and strength of medical-grade laser technology.

Why SEV Laser Uses True Laser Technology

At SEV Laser, we utilize cutting-edge laser hair removal machines, including the Candela GentleMax Pro and Cynosure Elite iQ, to provide the most effective treatments available. These FDA-approved dual-wavelength systems feature 755 nm Alexandrite laser technology for lighter skin tones and 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser technology for deeper skin tones, ensuring safe and optimized treatments for all skin types. Because each device only emits light at a single wavelength, it is able to penetrate through the skin directly to where the root of the hair is located.

Although IPL can help reduce hair growth, it doesn’t penetrate as deeply or precisely as a true laser. Instead, the light scatters across multiple layers of skin, and only some of it is absorbed by the follicle. This unfocused method of light emission means that for IPL treatments to be safe, they have to be significantly weaker than true lasers. This is why, when comparing IPL vs laser hair removal, IPL treatments often require more sessions, and they don’t deliver the same long-term results.

What This Means for Your Laser Hair Removal Results

True laser technology targets the melanin in hair follicles directly, offering a more effective and lasting solution for smooth skin. Each session progressively diminishes hair growth by treating follicles at the appropriate stage of their growth cycle.

Clients at SEV usually notice significant results after just a few sessions, with optimal hair reduction achieved through a complete treatment plan. If you’re seeking the most advanced, effective, and professional hair removal approach, SEV’s medical-grade laser hair removal treatments yield superior results.
