“IPL isn’t as good as laser.”
We need to retire this myth. 👋
And honestly, we understand where it came from.
⏰ When IPL first appeared on the market, the technology wasn’t what it is today.
Then laser hair removal became more widely available and, at the time, laser technology could offer a more advanced and targeted approach than the early IPL machines.
So the reputation stuck:
Laser = better.
IPL = inferior.
🤔But here’s the thing…
Technology has moved on 🎉
Modern professional IPL systems are a completely different proposition from the early IPL machines that helped create this reputation.
So what’s actually the difference?👀
Laser uses one specific wavelength of light.
IPL uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths.
Both work by using light energy to target melanin in the hair and generate heat within the follicle, helping to reduce future hair growth.
Neither is automatically “better.”🤨
The right technology depends on your skin, your hair, the area being treated and the expertise of the practitioner using it 👍
And that’s exactly why we use the Lynton Lasers Excelight at Skin Sanctuary.

“Laser is better than IPL. Full stop.”
