FAQs
What are the differences between IPL and Laser Treatment?
- Monochromatic or Polychromatic
Laser is Monochromatic Light. It means the light emitted from a laser is single wavelength.
IPL is Polychromatic Light. It means the light emitted from IPL is a combination of many different wavelengths. Therefore, IPL can target various chromophores in a range of wavelengths.

- Coherent or Non-coherent
Laser is Coherent Light. It means the light is totally reinforcing and does not cancel itself out because the light produced by laser is made up of waves that have the same wavelength and all in phase.
IPL is Non-coherent Light. It means the light is not reinforcing as the light produced by IPL contains many different wavelengths and phase relations.

- Collimated or Divergence
Laser is Collimated Light. It means the light beams travel in parallel which make laser light very powerful.
IPL is Divergence Light. It means the light of IPL is not collimated and the light beam does not travel in parallel. Therefore, the light can spread out quickly.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
