Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), as most commonly employed by non-specialist
medical practitioners and beauticians, is a method of hair removal from
the body involving the use of a specially constructed xenon flash lamp
and focusing optics.
The Intense Pulsed Light hair removal process has become very popular
due to its cheaper and faster procedure compared to laser hair removal,
which is often more costly and time consuming. The comparison of
effectiveness between Intense Pulsed Light and Laser Epilation is
debated by scientists, equipment manufacturers and practitioners but is
generally accepted to be equivalent results. IPL is generally
advertised as "permanent hair reduction" as opposed to "permanent hair
removal" (these phrases are misnomers when applied to laser or IPL hair
removal).
