Applications of Xenon Flash Lamps in IPL and Laser Machines

If you’ve ever been to a beauty salon -- at least one that specializes in skin care or hair removal -- chances are you dread, or equally love, the sight of a very peculiar machine with an attached lamp called a xenon flash lamp. These lamps such as those in our LUMI devices are key to ensuring Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments and laser therapies are effective.

What are Applications of Xenon Flash Lamps?

Xenon flash lamps are critical to the ste.pe in IPL-therapy. These treatments are commonly used to address skin problems such as acne, sun damage and the signs of aging. The xenon flashlamp delivers intense flashes of light that target specific colors in the skin. It also dissolves old deposits and encourages the skin to heal itself promoting smoother, younger-looking skin.

The use of xenon flashlamps for hair reduction

One application of xenon flash lamps in IPLs is for hair removal. The color absorbs the intense light from the lamp, damaging hair follicles and preventing hair from growing back. That means less hair and less pain, which is why so many people, both men and women, elect to use this process to eliminate hair they'd rather not have.

How Xenon Flash Lamps Assist in the Laser Machines?

In addition to IPL treatments, xenon flash lamps have applications in laser instruments that help people look better by improving the skin. They just emit short bursts of powerful light to address skin concerns such as wrinkles, acne scars and uneven skin tone. This light helps skin produce more collagen and new cells, so skin will be smoother and firmer.

Addressing Skin Conditions by Means of Xenon Flashlamps

Xenon flash lamps do a great job at correcting color blemishes in redness and IPL treatment. The xenon lamp’s light energy is absorbed by dark spots in the skin, which can help break them up and even out skin tone. It can also help decrease any unwanted redness by zeroing in on blood vessels, while ultimately enhancing the texture of your skin. For those who are looking for smoother and clearer skin, IPL treatments are a good option.

The Advantages of Accuracy Over the Xenon Flash Lamps

One of the nice things about xenon flash lamps in both IPL and lasers is that they are able to provide very accurate treatments. The settings are adjustable to suit various skin types and the desired purpose to ensure that you use just the right amount of light. This not only helps the treatment to work better, but it also reduces the odds of side effects.
