What is Better Than IPL?
Broadband Light (BBL) therapy is often considered superior to Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy for several reasons. BBL, sometimes referred to as an upgraded version of IPL, uses a higher intensity of light, resulting in more effective treatment of epidermal concerns.

While both IPL and BBL use light to treat skin conditions, the difference lies in the intensity and precision of the light delivered. IPL, while effective for some issues, may lack the same level of precision and power as BBL, particularly when addressing wrinkles or more significant skin concerns. Moreover, laser technology is generally considered more effective than both IPL and BBL for hair removal and some other applications. [Source: Victorian Cosmetic]
Furthermore, the effectiveness of at-home IPL devices can vary significantly, with laser devices often considered superior in results, although potentially more painful. [Source: Reddit discussion on at-home IPL/laser devices]
