Answer: Laser or IPL for hair removal Both systems are effective for treatment of unwanted hair. For fair skin and brown hair, you have the perfect combination for effective treatment with either system. Our office has both systems and quite frankly we find we are trending toward more Excel HR as this system can switch between both 755 and 1064 in a moments notice allowing us to treat all skin types and through a tan, but before we added the laser, I found IPL was effective with a similar number of treatments. Get started now! October is not that far away!

Answer: Laser vs. IPL for Hair Removal Most experts feel that laser is more effective than IPL for hair removal. Fair skin with dark hair should be straightforward to treat. Avoid getting tan prior to your laser treatment. We don't promise permanent removal which might be unrealistic but most people get long-lasting hair reduction. The majority of our patients are very pleased with the long-term improvement.Regards,Dr. Ort
