“…Treating hypertrichosis by IPL technology leads to transient crusting, blisters, and hypopigmentation more frequently than in other indications. Scarring, necrosis, and permanent changes in pigmentation should not occur if the equipment is utilized correctly [7][8][9][12][13][14]. In their 2001 trial, Miyake et al examined the changes in skin temperature during treatment of varicose leg telangiectasias by means of highintensity flashlamps and also studied the adverse effects that occurred post-treatment.…”

“…This is despite using higher fluences on the IPL side than on the alexandrite side: mean fluences of 42 and 30 J/cm 2 were used respectively. Previous studies have found hair reductions using IPL systems to vary between 33% and 80.2%, with the improvement lasting up to 30 months following treatment [19][20][21][22][23][24]. The Lumina IPL resulted in mean hair count reductions of 21% at 1 and 3 months follow-up and 27% at 6 months follow-up.…”

A randomised, split‐face comparison of facial hair removal with the alexandrite laser and intense pulsed light system

The alexandrite laser resulted in significantly longer hair-free intervals, a larger reduction in hair counts and greater patient satisfaction than the IPL and appeared to be more effective in this patient group. It is clear from the results in this study that the GentleLase alexandrite laser is more effective at reducing facial hirsutism in women with PCOS than the Lumina IPL. It is probable that this is due to the specific wavelength, short pulse duration and single pulse delivery of the GentleLase alexandrite laser, resulting in more follicular destruction than the IPL.

“…More recently, a variety of flash lamp devices have been incorporated in the armamentarium of the hair removal devices. Flash lamps differ from the conventional laser systems in that they are a non-coherent, non-collimated, polychromatic visible-infrared source [7]. Effective use of broad-spectrum flash lamps in hair removal has been well documented [8].…”
