Today, I’d like to introduce the IPL machine, also called an Intense Pulsed Light machine. This multifunctional machine can treat skin problems such as skin rejuvenation, freckle removal, and red blood removal. It can also do hair removal. Because it is not a laser machine, more beauty salons will choose it.
The principle of this machine is that light of different wavelengths is absorbed by different targets to achieve the treatment effect that you want. Because the IPL machine uses wide-range light, the wavelengths range from 430 nanometers to 1200 nanometers. So, it is a multifunctional machine. The way to change the wavelength is to replace the filter.

◆ Skin Rejuvenation
NOVALAS S1 integrates IPL(Intense Pulsed Light) and SHR(Super Hair Removal), with high-end components and smart systems, each rivaling single-function machines in performance.
At Oriental Laser, you can get what is equivalent to two premium machines for the price of one, offering your customers a wide range of customized services, including acne treatment, vascular & pigmentation diluting, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle removal, and hair removal in one stop.
490 blue-green light is used for acne treatment. It is mainly suitable for superficial skin problems.
530 green light treats superficial spots, sun spots, freckles, and red blood.
585 is used to treat vascular problems, such as red blood and spider nevi.
640 nm red light is used for skin rejuvenation, improving fine lines and enlarged pores, and can also remove hair.
For these treatments, we will provide clinical parameters to help customers’ operations and treatment. Our parameters are accurate. For example, if our energy parameter is set to 10, then the output power of the handle will also be 10. If it is not 10, whether high or low, the treatment effect will not be achieved. So this is very important.
The lamp is the most important part of this IPL machine because it is the light source. Our lamp is imported from the UK, has a lifetime of 5000-10000 hours, and produces a stable light output.
Regarding cooling, the front end of the handle has a TEC cooling board imported from Japan.
Many customers will ask how to choose between IPL and a diode laser. Because both have the effect of hair removal. We can give customers suggestions from the following suggestions.
1. IPL can do a variety of treatments. In addition to hair removal, it can also do skin rejuvenation, acne removal, red blood removal, and other skin treatments. Diode laser focuses on hair removal and has a little skin rejuvenation effect. If the budget is limited, IPL can be recommended.
2. The diode laser treatment effect is better and faster; IPL is slower. For example, a diode laser needs 3-5 treatments to achieve the treatment effect. IPL needs 8-10 times.
3. For operation, the diode laser is sliding and faster. But IPL is like stamping and slower
4. For the feeling about the treatment, the diode laser is more comfortable, and IPL will feel a little painful, but it is acceptable
5 . This is also very important. In many countries, beauty salons or operators cannot use laser machines without a laser operation certificate. So, only IPL can be used. For example, Japan. Japan has strict management of lasers, so many beauty salons will choose IPL, and the requirements for hair removal in Japan are very high. We have said before that lamps have a lifespan and need to be replaced, but Japanese customers do not want to replace lamps, which will waste time, so many customers buy an IPL machine and 4-6 handles at the same time. So Japan is a good market for IPL, and we can pay attention to it.
6. Finally, IPL is very effective for light skin and light hair. We can recommend that customers combine IPL and a diode laser.
