Chromophores and filters

Light energy is absorbed by specific skin structures: melanin, hemoglobin or the hair follicle. Filters help limit the spectrum for a specific task.

One device can therefore be used for different procedures if the specialist understands the filter logic, treatment area and parameters.

BBL, IPL and DPL

IPL is a broad category of intense pulsed light. DPL is usually positioned as a more narrowly tuned range, while BBL is used for photorejuvenation, pigmentation and vascular concerns.

For a salon, the practical question is not the name of the technology but which services the device can reliably perform and how easy it is to train staff.

Cooling and repeat services

Cooling protects the skin surface and increases client comfort, especially on the face and sensitive areas.

Light-based procedures often become recurring services: clients return for skin quality maintenance, pigmentation correction and seasonal care programs.
