What is the mechanism of action of IPL?

IPL is not a laser device, rather, it is a treatment system that works with light pulses but is commonly called a laser. IPL flashlights are xenon lamps that generate light of several discontinuous wavelengths, which can have different effects on different skin structures. Appropriate filters can be selected using IPL and the desired effect can be achieved for specific purposes. The IPL device is a popular method for removing excess hair, rejuvenating the skin, and lightening facial blemishes, as well as the surface effects of facial pimples (acne) and has a minimum complication among the hair removal devices in all races. It is also suitable for the Iranians, who have slightly brunette skin. IPL is the most suitable device for hair removal in large areas. This device is available in laser clinics with different features and names.

Moreover, the pulse irradiation time is different for each laser and skin lesion, and the therapist must set the time according to them. In addition, the depth and extent of the lesion, skin color, and many other factors must be considered in setting the parameters in order to achieve the desired result.

IPL SHR560 is one of the best devices in the Iranian market that use IPL technology. In addition to using IPL technology, this device also uses SHR technology.

Super Hair Removal (SHR) is the latest hair removal technology. Its light source is the same xenon lamp used in IPLs, but with the difference that like a diode laser, it can shoot 10 shots/second. The SHR works based on the following principles:

  • Low energy
  • High mean power
  • High repetition speed

In this method, the energy is divided into smaller pieces and enters the skin with high repetitions. This speeds up and eliminates complications, and significantly increases efficacy.

In this method, the handpiece can be continuously moved on the desired area and shot at the same time, which significantly increases the processing speed. With the SHR device, you can remove full-body hair in less than 30 minutes. We suggest you refer to the IPL SHR560 page for more information about this device.
