What is IPL?

Written by Lydia Velazquez 


Tria Beauty is ringing in the new year with two new at-home hair removal devices, Hair Removal Device IPL and Hair Removal Device IPL-S, that offer convenient access to IPL technology. 


Whether you’re new to laser and light hair removal or exploring alternatives to shavers and salon visits, IPL is a great hair removal technology to consider making space for in your bathroom.

What is IPL?

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is not a laser. It’s a broad-spectrum light beam. IPL’s multiple light wavelengths treat large areas of skin while still targeting the melanin in your hair follicle, resulting in finer hair or no hair regrowth. Tria Beauty's IPL devices are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure optimal performance and user satisfaction.

What is IPL?

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is not a laser. It’s a broad-spectrum light beam. IPL’s multiple light wavelengths treat large areas of skin while still targeting the melanin in your hair follicle, resulting in finer hair or no hair regrowth. Tria Beauty's IPL devices are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure optimal performance and user satisfaction. 

 

This non-invasive form of hair removal doesn’t irritate your skin’s surface, like waxing might, but you should expect a warm or slight stinging sensation. This is normal, not painful, and will often dull over time as your skin adjusts to the sensation.

Hair Removal Device IPL vs. Hair Removal Laser 4X

In weighing your at-home hair removal options, you might wonder which is better: IPL hair removal devices or Hair Removal Laser 4X? Both are great, but it is all about what you’re specifically looking for in a hair removal device. 

 

While Hair Removal Device IPL and Hair Removal Device IPL-S use IPL hair removal technology, the Hair Removal Laser 4X features a diode laser. 

 

The diode laser is more concentrated than the broadspectrum beam in the IPL devices. This means the laser targets and disables hair follicles in a more concentrated way than the IPL tools. This precision means that the Hair Removal Laser 4X weakens hair regrowth in fewer sessions than the IPL tools.

 

These, and other factors, play into the price tag of the different tools. The concentration and effectiveness of the Hair Removal Laser 4X make it the priciest of the three options. The Hair Removal Device IPL is compact, ergonomic, and has a large lens. The Hair Removal Device IPL-S similarly features an ergonomic design and large lens, but additionally has Ice Cool technology to treat areas that take longer.

 

With these pros and cons, you can make the best, most informed investment in your personal care routine for long-lasting, salon-quality results.
