IPL VS DIODE Laser Hair Removal Choice Compared
Regarding laser hair removal equipment, people usually compare it repeatedly in the choice of IPL/DlODE Laser. What is the difference between these two System devices? How to choose?We have compared the two devices in technically and listed...

Therefore, If choice IPL equipment, the initial investment is economical, but we will consider xenon lamp replacement cost(USD100-USD300/1PCS)
if choice of diode laser, the initial investment is higher, but we can give customers better comfortable and painless feeling on treatment.For diode laser, the best recommendation at present is fiber 808 diode, this is a one-time investment, which can get 5-8 years of return.
It is worth mentioning that IPL equipment can do skin rejuvenation in the same time but diode laser cannot diode laser just do hair removal is professional.
