XOCHS™ Lumex 10 IPL Hair Removal

The primary difference between IPL (intense pulsed light) and laser hair removal lies in the type of light used. IPL employs broadband pulsed light, while laser hair removal uses a single monochromatic light source. Both technologies target melanin in the hair follicle and can provide permanent results. Factors such as energy, frequency, and hair color influence the effectiveness of the treatment, while the choice of light source—whether laser or intense pulsed light—has a minor impact.

No, the treatment is generally not painful. Unlike laser hair removal, IPL (intense pulsed light) hair removal is considered much safer and more comfortable. IPL uses a multi-spectrum bulb rather than a single-wavelength laser, and it includes an ice cooling effect to minimize discomfort. You might experience a slight tingle in sensitive areas, but it should not be painful.

The ice cooling effect in IPL treatments is designed to enhance comfort during the procedure. This is achieved through integrated cooling systems in the IPL device, which use a cooling plate to lower the temperature of the skin’s surface before, during, and after the treatment. This cooling mechanism helps to reduce heat and minimize any discomfort, making the treatment more comfortable.
