Why laser is better than pulsed light ( also called “fotodepilación”)?

The term "fotodepilación" includes both laser hair removal and pulsed light hair removal: both methods pluck through the light (photo = light). Most centers that advertise with the term "fotodepilación" have simply pulsed light devices, cheaper and much less effective.

But beware: do not let that confuse you!

There is evidence that the alexandrite laser is the most effective method to achieve permanent hair reduction, capable of acting on all skin types. Its physical characteristics make the results visible from the first session, the skin is free of hair for a longer time and the number of sessions needed is considerably lower, reducing the final price of a full treatment.

The pulsed light, however, emits a light mixed with different wavelengths traveling in different directions controlled by filters. Therefore provides less precision and effectiveness, necessitating a greater number of sessions for optimal results. Therefore, increasing the final cost of full treatment.
