Trying to choose between 6 Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments or 24 sessions of sitting in front of an Infrared/Red light skin therapy lamp. The latter is more passive and is less expensive. Both are at the same derm's office. Does anyone know the differences?
Answer: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) vs. LED Hi JNL. Intense pulsed light is just that, INTENSE. LED is a more passive treatment. Both devices uses a wavelength of light that kills acne bacteria. The difference is that because IPL has much more power, it is used by a nurse or physician, whereas LED is placed in front of the patient for a period of time.If we knew what condition you were treating, it would help to determine what we might recommend for you.

Answer: IPL is great for hair removal, and treating unwanted brown-spots and redness. We have been using the Palomar StarLux for several years with great success. It's FDA approved for permanent hair removal, and PhotoFacials. A PhotoFacial uses IPL to eliminate unwanted brown spots and redness from conditions like rosacea.

Answer: IPL VS LED The IPL is Intense Pulsed Light, or Photo Rejuvenation, treatment focuses mainly on achieving a beautifully even tone to your skin. With every treatment, there is noticeable improvement in brown hyperpigmented areas, as well as a reduction in overall redness.Red light therapy activates collagen production to improve the visible signs of aging, to restore glowing, healthy-looking skin. It can also be used to reduce age spots, sun damage, and overall redness, flushing, and dilated capillaries. Red light therapy can also reduce the appearance of bruising and reduce healing time. Results are often immediate.

Answer: IPL vs. LED Treatments IPL is designed to work well for:Brown pigmentRed vesselsSun damageIn general, the multiple wavelengths of light have much more energy to be absorbed by the targeted damaged pigment, blood vessels and collagen. LED is good if the damage is very minor or someone can't have any downtime at all. It must be a really weak light source if it takes 24 sessions.
