What is DPC compared to IPL?

In regards to all our DPC technology, it is neither diode nor IPL. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is essentially the same family and can be thought of as the base foundation that DPC was built off of. DPC (Dynamic Pulse Control) is proprietary to SharpLight and is able to go to 90% reduction instead of the traditional 70% reduction in IPL treatments.

The cooling crystal does not require any gel, unlike some IPL technologies. While IPL cooling crystals are usually in the -2 to -4 range, our cooling crystal defaults to -8, with the option of swapping to the smaller snowflake which cools at -4 — offering a much more comfortable treatment, especially for hair removal that penetrates deeper into the pores and follicles.

Diode lasers deliver wavelengths ranging from 810 to 1064 nm — past the visible light spectrum (infrared and higher).

What is the warranty and support provided with the device?

SharpLight's devices come with the SharpLight Total experience, which includes expert marketing support, clinical support, tech support, customer service, and help with financing — all customized to your business needs. We offer the industry's longest warranty program with three different tiers.

How can the device compare to similar products on the market?

SharpLight is a leading innovator in non-invasive multi-modality med-aesthetic devices. Our award-winning technologies move beyond industry standards to deliver greater efficacy, comfort, safety, and results. Dynamic Pulse Control™ and FLOW technologies transcend the limitations of standard IPL, allowing you to treat a higher range of client profiles.
