Nowadays, Legolaser offers different technologies for hair removal treatments: OPT LED, DIODE LASER, and IPL SHR.

OPT LED technology is our latest technology for hair removal treatments, as it’s the result of our continuous search for maximum efficiency.

In order to better understand these three technologies, their benefits and differences, let’s try to break down some comparative information

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 differences according to the light features, which we can observe on the following table:

Technologies comparison table

These three technologies share some features, but at the same time, each one of them has some specific characteristics. Let´s try to compare the same through the following table:

Software features

One of the main differences between our LED technology and others in the market is the software system, which allows you to completely personalize every treatment need. The Excelsior software combines the best of each technology to provide you with a full range of possibilities. The following software parameters table allows us to visualize it better:
