What is E-light hair removal?

E-light is a technology that combines Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radio Frequency (RF). It not only removes hair but also has skin rejuvenation benefits, such as skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.

Diode Laser uses a single, focused wavelength of light to target hair follicles directly. The 4-wavelength Diode Laser machine at Waxing House combines the 755nm, 808nm, 940nm, and 1064nm wavelengths, making it suitable for various skin and hair types.

What is the main difference between Diode Laser and E-light?

Diode Laser focuses energy on specific wavelengths, making it highly effective if your hair follicles match those wavelengths. E-light uses a broad spectrum of light, making it suitable for a wider range of skin and hair types, and it also offers skin rejuvenation benefits.

Which hair removal technology is better?

Both technologies are effective. Diode Laser can be faster if your hair follicles 'match' the machine's wavelengths. E-light has the added benefit of skin rejuvenation. The best choice depends on your skin type, hair color, and specific needs. Waxing House will provide a consultation to choose the most suitable technology.

Is hair removal painful?

Both Diode laser and E-light technologies have cooling systems, so they are almost painless.

Why choose Waxing House for hair removal?

Waxing House has over 10 years of experience, a team of well-trained technicians, uses modern machinery and high-quality products (Jax Wax Australia). We offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you don't see results after the first 3 sessions.

Diode Laser and E-light: Comparing Hair Removal Technologies

Are you unsure whether to choose Diode Laser or E-light (IPL + RF) for hair removal? This article will help you understand the differences and choose the most suitable technology.

What is E-light (IPL + RF) Hair Removal?

E-light is an advanced combination of two technologies: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radio Frequency (RF). This is a more modern technology than traditional IPL.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Uses a broad spectrum of light (690nm-1200nm) to destroy hair follicles. IPL is effective on a wide range of skin and hair types.
RF (Radio Frequency): Uses radio frequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production, which helps tighten skin and reduce wrinkles. RF also supports the hair removal process by increasing the temperature in the hair follicles.

Advantages of E-light:

Effective hair removal on a wide range of skin and hair types.
Less painful than traditional IPL.
Additional skin rejuvenation benefits: skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, pore size reduction, reduction of acne and folliculitis.

The New E-light machine at Waxing House has a modern cooling system, making the hair removal process almost painless. The large spot size allows for quick treatment, especially effective for large areas like the back, shoulders, abdomen, and legs.

What is Diode Laser Hair Removal?

Diode Laser uses a single, focused wavelength of light to precisely target the melanin in the hair follicles. This effectively destroys the hair follicles.

Waxing House uses a 4-wavelength Diode Laser machine (755nm, 808nm, 940nm, 1064nm). This advanced technology combines different wavelengths to suit various skin and hair types:

755nm (Candela, Alexandrite): Effective for fair skin and light-colored hair.
808nm (Diode): The standard wavelength, effective for fair to medium skin.
940nm: Penetrates deeper, effective for thick and dark hair.
1064nm (Nd:YAG): Safe and effective for darker skin tones.

The Diode Laser machine at Waxing House has a good cooling system, minimizing discomfort. However, because the spot size of the Diode Laser is typically smaller than that of the E-light machine, the hair removal process may take longer, especially on larger areas.

Technology	Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) + Radio Frequency (RF)	Laser Diode
Wavelength	Broad spectrum (690-1200nm)	755nm, 808nm, 940nm, 1064nm
Skin & Hair Types	Suitable for a wide range of skin and hair types	Suitable for a wide range of skin and hair types, particularly more effective for certain skin and hair types
Additional Benefits	Hair removal, skin rejuvenation (skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, pore size reduction, acne and folliculitis reduction)	Primarily hair removal, may reduce pore size
Downtime Between Treatments	3-4 weeks	4 weeks
Pain Level	Virtually painless	Virtually painless

Should You Choose Diode Laser or E-light?

Both 4-wavelength Diode Laser and New E-light technologies are safe and effective for hair removal. However, there are some key differences:

Speed and Effectiveness: If your hair follicles “match” one of the Diode Laser’s wavelengths, the hair removal process may be slightly faster than with E-light.
Multiple Benefits: If you want to combine hair removal with skin rejuvenation benefits (skin tightening, dark spot reduction, acne reduction…), E-light is a better choice.
Skin and Hair Type: Both are effective on a wide range of skin and hair. However, the 4-wavelength Diode Laser is designed to be optimized for various skin and hair types.

There is no single “best” technology for everyone. The most important thing is to choose the technology that is *suitable* for your skin condition, hair color, and your needs. At Waxing House, we have both technologies and can switch between them to provide optimal results for you *without additional cost*.

We recommend booking a consultation so that our experts at Waxing House can assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

How to Choose a Good Hair Removal Place

The most important factor when choosing a place for hair removal is the assurance of quality for your treatment, which is demonstrated through a refund policy. Many places offer very cheap hair removal services and lifetime warranties. If you don’t see results, you just have to keep coming back for treatment again and again without any results. At Waxing House, we are committed to a 100% refund if you don’t see hair loss within the first 3 sessions.
