Laser and IPL are different technologies
A laser uses a specific wavelength, while intense pulsed light, usually called IPL, emits a broader spectrum of light. The terms are not interchangeable. Whether either approach is suitable depends on factors including skin, hair, the treatment area and the particular device.
The Sheerwave IPL360 in the gallery is an intense pulsed light platform. To understand a proposed treatment, ask about the device, the technology of the applicator being used and the reasons for selecting it for your area.
Where electrolysis fits
The Silhouet-Tone Evolution 5 belongs to the electrolysis family. Electrolysis works on individual follicles using a probe and electrical current, making it different from light-based treatment.
If you want to discuss electrolysis, confirm availability and consultation arrangements before booking. Our guide explains how this method differs from light-based treatment and which questions to ask for your area and hair colour.
Confirm the model and its intended use
The device labelled AURA INFINITY PRO appears in the gallery. Before a session, confirm the exact model, technology and intended uses. The photograph alone cannot verify wavelengths, power or cooling specifications. Other equipment shown may have different functions.
Ask what information is available about applicable device licensing, equipment maintenance and the training of the person providing treatment. These details complement assessment of your skin and hair. They help you understand the proposal without assuming that a device is suitable for every situation.
Your situation deserves a specific answer.
Let’s discuss the area you have in mind and what to clarify before getting started.

A consultation should connect the technology to your circumstances. You can ask for the model name, the proposed method and the reasons it is being considered for your treatment area. Ask for limitations to be explained as clearly as expected benefits.
- Which technology would be used for my treatment area?
- How will my skin colour, recent tanning and hair characteristics be considered?
- What preparation and eye protection are needed?
- What results are realistic and how is progress reviewed?
A decision based on your circumstances
Long-term hair reduction may simplify a grooming routine, but it does not guarantee that every hair disappears forever. Response and maintenance needs vary. The choice of method must also take individual precautions into account.
To discuss your project in Chomedey, call 514-726-2753. Bring your questions. Information on this website is designed to help you prepare for that conversation, rather than replace an assessment. Before booking, confirm which services are currently available and which device would be used.
Your questions
Is IPL a laser?
No. Both use light, but IPL and laser differ in their light emission and technical characteristics.
Which device would be used for my session?
The model and selected technology should be explained during consultation. Ask why they are being considered for your area and what limitations apply to your skin and hair.
Does every device have the same function?
No. Aesthetic equipment can involve different technologies. Ask which methods are available and which device would be used for the proposed treatment.
Can one technology treat everyone?
No. Suitability depends on several factors and must be assessed for the specific device and proposed method.
