At present, the depilators on the market are advertised as laser depilators, but in fact, there are two kinds of depilators: laser and photon.
The differences between laser (also known as Laser) and photon (also known as IPL, color light and strong pulsed light) are mainly reflected in three aspects: hair removal effect, safety and ease of use, which are also the concerns of User Z. Next, we will share these three points with you.
1、 Depilation effect
The depilatory instrument uses light and heat energy to destroy hair follicles. The greater the light and heat energy is, the greater the damage to hair follicles will be, and the better the depilation effect will be naturally. The energy of the laser hair remover is more than 20J, and the energy of the photon hair remover is about 3J to 10J. From the energy comparison, the laser is perfect.
However, energy theory can not be used when purchasing, because the greater the energy, the stronger the pain. It depends on your own situation. If you don't feel pain, you will have photons, and if you feel pain, you will have lasers.

2、 Security.
The hair remover uses light and heat to remove hair. The wavelength of light can be long or short (also called wavelength). If the light is too short to reach the hair follicle, the light and heat energy will be absorbed by the melanin and hemoglobin on the surface of the skin, causing damage to the skin. Therefore, the safety of the hair remover depends on the wavelength. Research shows that the wavelength above 550nm is safe.
3、 Ease of use.
The convenience of the hair removal instrument is closely related to the lamp head area and flash frequency. The larger the lamp head area is, the larger the skin area can be covered, and the larger the hair removal range can be achieved in a single time; And the light frequency refers to how often the light is emitted, and the efficiency will be high if the light is fast.
Pay attention to:
The lamp cap area of the laser hair removal instrument is generally small, below 1cm, and the light output frequency is about 2s-2.5s.
The lamp cap area of photon depilators is generally large, with an area of about 2cm-5cm and a light output frequency of about 1s-5s.
