IPL verses Laser Hair Removal

When comparing laser hair removal to IPL hair removal there are a few aspects to judge such as the effectiveness or outcomes, expertise and qualifications required and the target chromophore within the skin.

The wavelength of light used determines how deep the light or laser energy penetrates into the skin therefore affecting whatever structures lie in that particular layer. IPL or Intense Pulsed Light, as it is multiple wavelengths is better for treating multiple skin conditions such as pigmentation, capillaries and sun damage which lie in a similar superficial zone within the skin. A hair removal laser (such as the Alexandrite) and its single or targeted wavelength is more suited to the melanin contained within the base of the hair follicle, effectively destroying the cells designed for growing another hair.

Licensed laser operators are required to hold a certificate qualification which is achieved by a theoretical exam in addition to a minimum number of hours logged utilizing the laser hair removal technology. IPL on the other hand requires no such qualification and many can in fact be purchased quite cheaply leading to a large number of unqualified operators incorrectly using the technology in an unskilled manner. This can lead to nasty side effects such as burning, scarring and discolouration in the skin.

Laser is often less painful than IPL, doesn’t require messy ultrasound gels and generally requires much less treatment to achieve the desired hair removal result. IPL can sometimes have larger spot sizes than laser but often lasers have a faster repetition rate which allows a higher number pulses to be fired off in a shorter time frame.

This equates to shorter treatment periods. Both laser and intense pulsed light have their places within the cosmetics industry but when it comes to permanent hair reduction, laser hair removal is the gold standard, especially when taking into account the safety and effectiveness of the technology.

Prince Charles - The Prince of Wales

Charles Philip Arthur George, the eldest son of the Queen and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was born at Buckingham Palace on 14th November 1948. A proclamation was posted on the Palace railings just before midnight, announcing that Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth had been safely delivered of a son. On 15th December, he was christened in the Music Room at Buckingham Palace, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Geoffrey Fisher.

The Prince’s mother was proclaimed Queen Elizabeth II at the age of twenty-five, when her father, King George VI, died aged 56 on 6th February 1952. On the Queen’s accession to the throne, Prince Charles - as the Sovereign’s eldest son - became Heir Apparent, at the age of three. The Prince, as Heir to The Throne, was entitled: The Duke of Cornwall under a charter of King Edward III in 1337; and, in the Scottish peerage, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland. The Prince was 4 at his mother’s Coronation, in Westminster Abbey on 2nd June 1953. Many of those who watched the Coronation have vivid memories of him seated between his widowed grandmother, now to be known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and his aunt, Princess Margaret.

The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh agreed that the Prince would attend school rather than have a tutor at the Palace, and so the Prince started at Hill House School in West London on 7th November 1956. After 10 months, the young Prince became a boarder at Cheam School, a preparatory school in Berkshire. In 1958 while The Prince was at Cheam, The Queen created him The Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. The Prince was nine-years-old.

In April 1962 Prince Charles began his first term at Gordonstoun, a school near Elgin in Eastern Scotland which The Duke of Edinburgh had also attended. He later spent 2 terms in 1966 as an exchange student at Timbertop, a remote outpost of the Geelong Church of England Grammar School in Melbourne, Australia. Upon his return to Gordonstoun for his final year, the Prince of Wales was appointed school guardian (head boy). The Prince, who had already passed six O Levels, also took A Levels and was awarded a grade B in history and a C in French, together with a distinction in an optional special history paper in July 1967. The Prince went to Cambridge University in 1967 to read archaeology and anthropology at Trinity College. He made a change to history for the second part of his degree, and in 1970 was awarded a 2:2 degree.

He was invested as Prince of Wales by The Queen on 1st July 1969 in a colourful ceremony at Caernarfon Castle. Before the investiture the Prince had spent a term at the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth, during which he learned to speak Welsh. On 11th February 1970, His Royal Highness took his seat in the House of Lords.

At his own request, the Prince had flying instruction from the RAF during his second year at Cambridge. On 8th March 1971, the Prince flew himself to the Royal Air Force (RAF) Cranwell in Lincolnshire, to begin training as a jet pilot. In September 1971 after the passing out parade at Cranwell, the Prince embarked on a naval career, following in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and both his great-grandfathers. The six-week course at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, was followed by service on the guided missile destroyer HMS Norfolk and two frigates. The Prince qualified as a helicopter pilot in 1974 before joining 845 Naval Air Squadron, which operated from the Commando carrier HMS Hermes. On 9th February 1976, The Prince took command of the coastal minehunter HMS Bronington for his last nine months in the Navy.

On 29th July 1981, The Prince of Wales was married to Lady Diana Spencer in St Paul’s Cathedral, who became HRH The Princess of Wales. The Princess was born on 1st July 1961, at Park House on the Queen’s estate at Sandringham, Norfolk. She lived there until the death in 1975 of her grandfather, the 7th Earl, when the family moved to live at the Spencer family seat at Althorp House in Northamptonshire. Lady Diana’s father, then Viscount Althorp and later the eighth Earl Spencer, had been an equerry to both George VI and his wife. Diana’s maternal grandmother, Ruth, Lady Fermoy, was a close friend and lady-in-waiting to The Queen Mother.

The Prince and Princess of Wales had two sons: Prince William, born on 21st June 1982; and Prince Harry, born on 15th September 1984. From the time of their marriage, the Prince and Princess of Wales travelled on overseas tours while also carrying out numberous engagements together in the UK. On 9th December 1992, the Prime Minister, John Major, announced to the House of Commons that the Prince and Princess of Wales had agreed to separate. The marriage was dissolved on 28th August, 1996, however, the Princess was still regarded as a member of the Royal Family. She continued to live at Kensington Palace and to graciously carry out humanitarian work for a number of charities.

When Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31st August 1997, The Prince of Wales went to Paris with her two sisters to bring her body back to London. On the day of the funeral, the Prince of Wales accompanied his sons, aged fifteen and 12 at the time, as they walked behind the coffin from The Mall to Westminster Abbey. With them were The Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess’s brother, Earl Spencer. Prince Charles requested that the media respect his sons’ privacy, to allow them to lead a normal school life. In the following years, Princes William and Harry, who are second and third in line to the throne, accompanied their father on only a small number of official engagements in the UK and abroad.

On 9th April 2005, the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker-Bowles were married in a civil ceremony at the Guildhall, Windsor. After the wedding, Camilla became known as HRH The Duchess of Cornwall. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall were joined by almost 800 guests at a Service of Prayer and Dedication at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. The Service was followed by a reception at Windsor Castle hosted by Her Majesty The Queen. It is intended that the Duchess of Cornwall will use the title HRH The Princess Consort if Prince Charles accedes to the throne.

The Duchess supports the Prince in his work. Through the years, Charles developed a wide range of interests which are today reflected in ‘The Prince’s Charities’, a group of 20 not-for-profit organisations of which The Prince is President. Eighteen of the twenty charities were founded personally by the Prince. This group is the largest multi-cause charitable enterprise in the UK, raising over £130 million annually. The organisations purposes span a broad range of areas including opportunity and enterprise, education, health, architecture, and responsible business and the natural environment. These interests are also reflected in the list of more than 400 organisations of which Prince Charles has since become Patron or President of.
