What is IPL Hair Removal

IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. These devices use broad-spectrum light waves to target the pigment of the hair. The working principle of

is based on the difference between hair and skin color. And there is no need for a doctor as the procedure can be done easily and safely at home.

Just like Laser treatment, IPL waves are absorbed into the hair, penetrating and destroying the hair follicle. However, it takes more sessions to achieve desired results. IPL devices have several intensity levels to suit your skin type. They can also be used to treat pigment and vascular lesions on the skin.

How does Ulike IPL work?

For IPL hair removal to be effective, there must be a contrast between the skin tone and the hair color. This is because the IPL light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and heated up, which in turn destroys the hair follicle, resulting in long-term hair removal. Unfortunately, very light natural hair colors may not see effective hair removal results. Similarly, deep dark skin tones may face burning risks. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this limitation of IPL technology.

FAQ

We have conducted many clinical trials on IPL’s safety and effectiveness, and because of this, IPL has become a widely used hair removal method in clinics and households.

If you follow the instructions, our handset will not bring any harm to you. Ulike guarantees that all UV lights have been filtered away from the IPL’s light spectrum, including all wavelengths below 1200 nanometres. This industry standard applies to most IPL systems and is done to prevent skin damage by the light rays, which means that you will never experience chronic complications such as skin disease and skin aging.

Ulike is the only company that adapts Sapphire Ice-Cooling patent technology to provide pain-free treatments. Users will feel no pain during the treatment.

We don’t recommend using IPL over scars or tattoos because it causes heat build and pain in these areas. However, it is acceptable to use IPL to treat areas around tattoos.

Most customers begin to notice noticeable hair reduction within 3-4 weeks of starting their treatments. For optimal results, we recommend initial treatment of 3 sessions per week over a 4-week period, followed by maintenance sessions every half month or month as needed for touch-ups. The full effect becomes evident around the 12-week mark. After each treatment, you'll notice that hair grows back sparser and finer.

 

Over time, hair reduction becomes permanent. It's important to note that, according to FDA regulations, "permanent hair removal" refers to a consistent and gradual reduction of hair over an extended duration, a standard we adhere to. However, interpretations of the term "permanent" may vary. It's worth mentioning that even clinical photo-therapy treatments aren't entirely permanent.

Shaving is an important step in preparing your skin for IPL treatment. Shaving takes your hair down just enough to prevent burns while leaving the root intact under the surface so your IPL handset can target it.
That being said, if the area you’re treating is already hairless and smooth to the touch, shaving isn’t necessary.
