Many Edmonton clinics advertise “laser hair removal” but some are actually using IPL (Intense Pulsed Light).
While both use light-based technology, they are not the same.
Understanding the difference can prevent wasted time and frustration.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light):
True laser systems (like Alma Soprano):
Laser is generally more controlled and targeted than IPL.
Clients often report:
That doesn’t mean IPL “never works.”
It means the technology behaves differently.
Skin tone, tanning habits, and seasonal sun exposure matter.
Proper assessment is essential regardless of device type.
Laser settings should be adjusted to skin type, not standardized across everyone.
Instead of asking “Which is cheaper?”
Ask:
Technology matters, but expertise matters more.
