Both use light and heat, but a laser uses a more targeted wavelength than IPL.
Compare laser hair removal and IPL by light technology, suitability, safety, treatment course, results and cost.
Direct answer
A hair-removal laser uses focused light at a specific wavelength. IPL, or intense pulsed light, uses a broader light spectrum. Both target pigment in hair and require multiple treatments because hairs are not all in an active growth phase at once.
The suitable and safe option depends on equipment, skin and hair, settings and practitioner experience. The name of the technology alone does not predict results.

At a first appointment, the key questions are not only how much hair is present, but also its colour and thickness, skin response and what the client means by ‘permanent’. This assessment prevents expectations that no device can honestly guarantee.
Avoidable problems most often follow waxing or epilating between sessions, undisclosed sun exposure or ignoring a skin reaction. Preparation and aftercare are therefore repeated for each area, and skin response is reviewed before settings or scheduling change.
