Often people think that all laser hair removal treatments are the same. This is far from the truth. Lasers use focused beams that can be modulated with pulse width, power and treatment size to improve the absorption of the hair follicles.Most laser hair removal studies show that for permanent results, 755nm to 810nm lasers work best.

IPL vs. Yag Laser

YAG Laser

Bella Laser Center’s Elite Laser removes unwanted hair with unsurpassed efficacy and client comfort for ANY given hair or skin type. That’s because its revolutionary technology combines two optimal wavelengths in one system: the 755-nm Alexandrite laser and the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser.
Since you can switch between wavelengths during a single procedure, you can select the most appropriate laser for any given hair or skin type. You can also perform multiple procedures on the same client during the same visit. As such, you won’t have to compromise performance capabilities—and you won’t have to purchase two separate laser hair removal systems to ensure both optimal results and client safety. What’s more, you’ll be able to administer treatments in significantly less time than with a single-wavelength product.

This wavelength has high melanin absorption characteristics and proven long-term results for permanent hair reduction and pigmented lesion removal. This means no matter what your skin and hair color, your treatment WILL be permanent.
The high-powered YAG is the safest wavelength for permanent hair reduction on darker skin types and tanned skin. It is also the wavelength of choice for treatment of facial and leg veins—the most common form of vascular lesions.
The Elite delivers high fluence from large spot sizes-ensuring deeper penetration, faster treatment sessions and optimal results.
Unlike equipment with predetermined parameters, the Elite includes a variety of spot sizes and adjustable pulse durations—allowing you to customize treatments to accommodate your clients’ specific needs.

Intense Pulse Light (IPL)

IPL is not a laser, it is in fact, as the name says, “Intense Pulse Light”. It is NOT an effective treatment for permanent hair removal, and will take many treatments to reduce hair, but is NOT permanent. IPL is not effective for veins reduction either.

IPL is however, effective for skin rejuvenation only; sometimes called photorejuvenation or photofacial, this skin treatment is commonly used to improve a wide range of skin problems including: sun damage, wrinkles, stretch marks, and age spots.
