    High quality intense pulsed light (IPL) systems can offer simple, safe and effective treatments for long-term hair reduction, skin rejuvenation and removal of benign vascular and pigmented lesions. Considerable differences in clinical efficacy and adverse effects have been recorded amongst different IPL systems despite comparable display settings. This study examines the variation in pulse structures exhibited by several popular professional IPL systems that can cause a spectral change within the broadband output depending on the pulse structure chosen by the system designers. A fast spectrometer was used to capture IPL spectral outputs. A spectral distribution shift that occurs both within a pulse and between pulses is clearly demonstrated and is more prominent with uncontrolled free discharge systems than with square pulsed technology, which provides a constant spectral distribution throughout the pulse duration.

    Square Pulse

    Materials and Methods


    Ocean Optics HR2000+ Spectrometer 1ms Time resolved capability (0.35nm resolution) Wavelength points from 300nm to 1000nm in 50nm intervals Spectral distribution plotted with 1ms resolution or pulse number in the case of multiple pulses

    Measurements taken with common system parameters


    19 systems measured for study

    System output grouped into 4 categories Square pulse Free discharge Close pulse stacking Spaced pulse stacking

    Results - Square Pulse

    Sharp 530nm filter Single pulse 25ms in duration Consistent distribution of wavelengths during pulse duration

    Results - Free Discharge

    Poorly filtered emission 17% energy below 500nm

    Single pulse 18ms in duration


    Spectral distribution changes during pulse duration

    650nm increase
    450, 500, 550, 600, 700nm decrease

    Results - Close Pulse Stacking

    Sharp 600nm filter


    7 pulses stacked closely together, decaying fluence 900, 950nm increase 600, 650, 700nm decrease from first pulse to last

    Results - Close Pulse Stacking

    Sharp 620nm filter


    Unique analogue pulse profile of number of pulses of 1ms separated by 3ms dwell periods. 900, 950nm increase 650, 700nm decrease from first pulse to last

    Results - Spaced Pulse Stacking

    Sharp 650nm filter


    5 pulses spaced apart of short duration high fluence Spectral distribution consistent flashlamp impedance reverses during off time

    Results Increasing Fluence


    Square Pulse Free Discharge

    Conclusions A change in spectral distribution both within a pulse and increasing fluence was verified.
    Spectral Shift more prominent with free discharge systems.

    May not be clinically significant as fluence dosimetry is a much greater factor. Epilation is unlikely to be effected due to broad melanin absorption.
    Spectral shift could effect treatment outcomes. A system could be modelled and implemented, particularly where absorption characteristics vary.

    Conclusions

    Many IPL systems incorporate high cut off filters to prevent epidermal absorption, thus concealing the decaying effect in the shorter wavelengths of the flashlamp Porphyrin and epidermal absorption possibly effected
