Nowadays, Legolaser offers three different technologies on hair removal treatments, OPT LED, DIODE LASER, and IPL SHR. They are based on different technologies, but, all of them share same objective, permanent hair removal.

OPT LED technology is the latest technology in hair removal treatments, which it’s the result of the continuous searching for the maximum efficiency in hair removal systems. To date, either Diode laser or IPL SHR technology are more sounded technologies for most of the users due to several benefits we could find in each of them.

Let’s try to break down some comparative information amongst these three technologies in order to get a better understanding of the same.

Description of type of energy

Let’s start through a basic, but, necessary exercise of understanding each word acronym meaning:

• LED (Light Emitting Diode)
• Laser (Light Amplified by Stimulated Emission of Radiation)
• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and SHR (Super Hair Removal).

We can observe like three of them share the word “Light” within their descriptions, as the three of them work under the principle of photo thermolysis; specific destruction of a biological structure (chromophore) due to induced thermal temperature. However, there are some difference according to the light features, which we can observe on the following table:

Technologies comparison table

Due to the fact, these three technologies share some technological features, but some others are specific of each one, let´s try to compare the same through the following table:

Software features

One of the main differences between the new LED, and other technologies is the software system, thus, those parameters the system allows you to operate with. LED software combines the best of each technology to provide you a full range of possibilities. The following software parameters table allows us to understand such confirmation:

Main benefits / Choose your right option

After all this information, you may probably wonder what technology is the most suitable to your needs. In order to provide you a most accurate answer, there are many factors we might consider like your present and future business needs, business plan, or market statement among others. However, the following tip table may roughly support to your decision about what it’s the most suitable hair removal technology in your case:
