A flashlamp is also called IPL (intense pulsed light). Full spectrum (non-coherent) light and low-range infrared radiation are filtered to allow a specified range of wavelengths. This filtered light goes from a hand-piece into skin, that’s where it aims dark material such as pigments in hairs. This is projected to cause thermal or mechanical harm to hair follicle when sparing nearby tissues.

Some customers have practised permanent hair reduction. There is still limited data about how much reduction of hair is typical and how often the hair reduction happens. As you know, flashlamp is also called IPL (intense pulsed light), ILS (intense light source), full spectrum, non-coherent, and broadband light. The primary differences between flashlamps and lasers used in hair removal are in the kind of light and size and the shape of the spot (beam).
