Both laser hair removal and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), are usually considered safe and effective hair removal solutions.

Though IPL is not a laser, it can be compared to one.  The main technological difference between the two is that laser uses one specific wave length of light, while IPL uses a full spectrum. This means that unlike lasers, which can only deliver a specific wavelength, IPL can release light over a wide wavelength range. In short, IPL uses intense light pulses instead of laser rays.

IPL and lasers work in similar ways by sending light into the hair follicles. The light absorbs in the hair follicle, turns into heat and destroys it.
