Technology and precision: The types of lasers that LASKIN uses are a more advanced and specific technology for the removal of unwanted hair. The laser emits a specific wavelength light that is directed directly to the hair follicle, selectively targeting it and thus reducing hair growth more effectively. IPL, on the other hand, uses a wide range of wavelengths and is not as precise as laser in targeting the hair follicle.

Effectiveness and results: Due to its precision and ability to target the hair follicle, the laser is usually more effective in removing unwanted hair in fewer sessions compared to IPL. IPL may require more sessions to achieve similar results and may not be as effective on certain hair types or skin tones.

Safety: The types of lasers used by LASKIN are safer for different skin types, including darker skin tones. IPL may have a higher risk of side effects, such as burning or hyperpigmentation, especially in people with darker skin.

Staff experience: LASKIN is a medical group made up of expert dermatologists. Staff experience and training are essential to ensure safe and effective laser treatments. In some places that offer cheaper IPL treatment, there may be staff with less experience and knowledge in the field of dermatology.

Cost: More advanced laser technology can make treatments more expensive compared to IPL. However, fewer laser sessions are often needed to achieve effective results, which may offset the additional cost in the long run.

In short, while IPL may be a more economical option, the types of lasers used by LASKIN offer greater precision, effectiveness and safety in removing unwanted hair. It is important to do your research and consider the quality of the equipment and the experience of the staff when choosing a laser treatment to obtain the best results and avoid potential risks.

At LASKIN we have a team of dermatologists who support each of the recommended procedures for your skin type and needs and are trained to resolve any complications immediately during hair removal. Not going to specialized centers is a risk to your health. For effective hair removal, the laser parameters must be precisely adjusted according to the type of hair and skin.
