Why Diode Laser Hair Removal is Better than IPL Hair Removal?

Tropika Club Magazine (TCM): Hello, Serene! We’re delighted to chat with you today about a hot topic in the aesthetics world – diode laser hair removal, IPL hair removal, and SHR hair removal. As the Aesthetic Director at Wellaholic, your insights will certainly be enlightening.

Serene Chiam (SC): Thanks for having me! I’m eager to delve into the nitty-gritty of these hair removal methods.

The Basics: Understanding the Trio

TCM: Could you start by briefly explaining what these three hair removal techniques are?

SC: Sure! IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It’s a technology that uses broad-spectrum light to target hair follicles. Diode laser hair removal uses a single wavelength of light, which is more focused and penetrates deeper into the skin. Super Hair Removal, or SHR, is a newer method that combines IPL and laser technology for a less painful and more effective treatment. If you are looking for a way to remove unwanted hair, you might have heard of different options, such as IPL, diode laser and SHR. But what do these terms mean and how do they differ?

IPL is short for Intense Pulsed Light, a technology that emits flashes of light with a wide range of wavelengths. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, which heats up and destroys the hair.

Diode laser hair removal, (such as SHR hair removal), on the other hand, uses a single wavelength of light, which is more concentrated and powerful. The laser beam can reach deeper into the skin and target the hair follicle more precisely, resulting in a more effective and long-lasting hair reduction. 

Spotlight on Diode Laser Hair Removal

TCM: What makes diode laser hair removal stand out in this lineup?

SC: Diode laser hair removal is a popular and efficient method of getting rid of unwanted hair. Unlike other hair removal techniques, such as waxing or shaving, diode laser hair removal works by delivering a concentrated beam of light to the hair follicle, destroying it at the root and preventing it from growing back. This makes diode laser hair removal very precise and effective, as it can target individual hairs or larger areas with minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Another advantage of diode laser hair removal is that it’s suitable for different skin types and tones, as the wavelength of the laser can be adjusted to match the skin’s color and sensitivity. Moreover, diode laser hair removal is less painful than other methods, as it uses a cooling system to reduce the heat and discomfort caused by the laser.

Comparing Apples and Oranges: Diode Laser vs IPL Hair Removal

TCM: Many of our readers are torn between diode laser hair removal and IPL hair removal. Could you give us your perspective?

SC: That’s a great question! While both methods have their merits, the diode laser often emerges as the victor. Here’s why – IPL uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths, which scatter within the skin. Although it covers larger areas, it’s not as targeted. In contrast, diode laser is like a sniper’s bullet – it goes straight for the hair follicle, making it more effective in disabling hair growth.

And What About SHR?

TCM: Where does SHR hair removal fit in this comparison?

SC: Many people who want to get rid of unwanted hair are looking for a solution that is both effective and comfortable. That’s why SHR hair removal is a popular choice among many customers. SHR stands for Super Hair Removal, a method that combines the advantages of IPL and laser technologies. Unlike IPL, which uses high-intensity light and single pulses, SHR uses low-intensity light and multiple pulses, which gently heat up the hair follicle and disable its growth. Unlike laser, which uses a single wavelength of light and can cause discomfort or damage to the skin, SHR uses a broad spectrum of light and can adapt to different skin types and tones. SHR hair removal is like the best of both worlds: it’s a method that can remove hair effectively and painlessly, without compromising on safety or quality. It’s a great alternative for those who want to enjoy smooth and hair-free skin without any hassle or pain.
