Is HPL as effective as IPL laser for hair removal?
I am considering buying a home laser for hair removal. There are two which keep popping up. However, one is HPL and the other is IPL. I hear IPL is what medical grade hair removal lasers use. However, the HPL is more user friendly and apparently less painful. I am afraif of spending a lot of money for something which will not be effective in the long term. Is an HPL system effective for decent hair reduction?
