Of interest is today’s email from Dectro. I wonder what you “Dectronians” make of this?

Well, they sell both IPL devices and gear for electrolysis. It makes sense they would market them together.The issue I have, aside from having no intention to ever perform IPL services, is that all reports I have for IPL is they dont work, and to go for an alexandrite laser. They do make nice shiny electolysis gear though and I keep their catalog on my desk.I dont even think they sell proper lasers though i could check.

Yes, I read this while I was eating my dinner, Pan-Seared Hake with Eggplant Caponata and Fregola Sarda, a Sicilian dish, known for its bold favors, but I tamed it down a bit.
I am fine with IPL being offered by Dectro or any light-based treatment for that matter. I am a true fan of light-base devices, but my impression over the years is that real lasers are better for permanent hair reduction than IPL’s. One of my transwoman clients had beautiful results, from head to toe, with an IPL and it made my job easier when I had to do the part of total removal, with electrolysis, to bring her to the end of her journey.
They don’t all turn out that well, but why not offer all modalities anyway? We all know that electrolysis is always the net to fall in when all else fails.
The problem when all else fails is the time and money invested in the process. Sometimes people lose all hope and they throw in the towel before the solution.
And I do not just mean the lack of results with laser or IPL, I talk about any treatment that is promised and charged as permanent hair removal, and the “permanent” part is not being met, including hypothetical treatments of Electrolysis. I emphasize the word “hypothetical” because I do not accept nor allow anyone to call Electrolysis something that is not working.
