In this blog we compare the 2 top models of the Ulike Air IPL series, the Ulike Air3 Purple and the Air+ Dark Green IPL device.
Ulike Air3 Purple vs. Air+ Dark Green IPL Device
1. Design and aesthetics: Winner - Air3
The Ulike Air+ IPL device is a combination of a beautiful dark green color and gold details. One of its ends has a connector while the other carries a large light window. The bottom, flat end also allows you to easily stand the device upright.
It fits comfortably in the hand and weighs only 280 grams, making the hair removal process easier. The Ulike Air3 is a beautiful device in a purple shade with white details. It weighs only 271 grams, making it even lighter than a cell phone.
Ulike is the name of luxurious, exquisite and aesthetically designed devices. So if you look at both devices individually, they are both beautiful and appealing. However, if you keep them side by side, the Ulike Air3 attracts more attention because of its delicate, sleek and minimalist design with subtle colors.
2. Contents of the packaging: Winner - Draw
Both sets contain everything you need for hair removal in the bathroom. With the Ulike Air+ set you get the green IPL device, a user manual, a black charger, a power cable, a smooth shaver, protective goggles and a square leather box to store the entire set.
Similarly, the Ulike Sapphire Air3 set includes a crystal violet IPL device, a user manual, a white adapter with power cord, a small shaver, protective goggles and a rectangular gray leather box for storage and travel.
If you take a closer look at the packaging, it looks like a gift box due to the pretty colors and well-packaged box. So, if you see your loved one struggling with unwanted hair, the Ulike IPL device can surely amaze him/her.
3. Comfort Modes: Winner - Air3
Another exclusive feature of the Ulike Sapphire Air IPL series is how comfortable and gentle the device feels on the skin. Although the Ulike Sapphire Air+ Dark Green IPL device is almost painless, it only has one mode for the whole body. However, the Ulike Air3 Purple IPL device offers 3 different modes depending on the body part, taking comfort to the extreme.
Soft mode is best for soft, sensitive and delicate areas of the body such as the face, chin, upper lip and bikini line; Body mode is perfect for larger areas with thick and strong skin such as arms and legs; and Power mode effectively removes stubborn and coarse hair in areas such as underarms and chest.
4. Skin Tone Compatibility: Winner - Tie
One of the biggest drawbacks of IPL hair removal devices is their limited skin tone and hair compatibility. Just like other IPL devices, Ulike Sapphire Air3 and Air+ are the perfect hair removal device for you if you have light skin tones such as light, medium brown or brown. Likewise, it is suitable for dark hair colors such as black, light brown and dark brown.
However, if your hair falls into the white, gray, red and blonde category, or your skin tone is dark brown or black, you'd better stick to shaving or waxing to get rid of unwanted hair. Also, you can check the compatibility chart on Ulike's website before ordering the device.
5th Treatment Time: Winner - Air3
Ulike Sapphire Air+ offers 5 intensity levels for face, bikini line, underarms, legs and arms. According to Ulike, treating the entire body with the Air+ IPL device takes only 10 minutes.
However, depending on the thickness of the hair, the intensity level used and the skin surface, a full body treatment can take more than 30 minutes. In addition, you can either press the button intermittently to create flashes or hold it down while moving on the skin.
Although 30 minutes is considered fast for a full body treatment, the Ulike Air3 is even faster with its speed of 0.7 seconds per flash. The device also offers an auto-glide mode that makes the session more user-friendly and faster. Its 3 intensity levels are suitable for all body areas.
Thanks to the ergonomic flash window and 2 treatment modes, the device takes less than 30 minutes to remove hair from the entire body.
6. Time to Results: Winner - Air3
What is the advantage of an IPL device over other hair removal methods if it doesn't show results in a short period of time? So, Ulike Sapphire makes the devices that satisfy you with their amazing results within a month. The Ulike Air+ Dark Green IPL device can deliver more than 90% hair growth reduction in 4 weeks.
And the Ulike Sapphire Air3 Purple IPL device is faster with its exceptional hair reduction results within 3 weeks. So, 6-9 sessions in just 21 days can give you the smooth hairless skin you long for.
In addition, the long wavelength of 1200 nm of the light penetrates deep into the skin and prevents ingrown hairs and strawberry legs.
7. Sapphire Ice Cooling Technology: Winner - Air3
All Ulike devices feature exclusive ice cooling technology that transfers the temperature of the hot light rays from 158F to a cooling, cold temperature of 58F. This means your hair removal session will be without burning or stinging. The same goes for the Ulike Air+.
However, if you use the highest intensity level or your skin is very sensitive, you may feel a slight stinging sensation despite the low temperature. To solve this problem and provide a better experience, the Ulike Air3 has a multi-level cooling system.
In addition to the patented dynamic ice cooling technology similar to that of Air+, the Air3 also features a VC and graphene liquid cooling system and dual heat dissipation fans. Both the hand and skin will only feel a maximum temperature of 68°C for up to 30 minutes of continuous use.
8. FDA-certified and dermatologically tested
Ulike does not launch any products for its valuable users without ensuring the safety of use. Whether it is the Sapphire Air+ Dark Green or the Air3 Purple IPL device, it has been approved by the FDA before launching. Moreover, Ulike has broken new ground in safety approval by getting the device approved by all health organizations worldwide.
And the top dermatologists and influencers also love Ulike devices because it has contact sensors to protect the skin from unwanted burns and an eye protection design that prevents the light from scattering beyond the window, thus protecting the eyes from damage. Moreover, it also offers protective goggles to ensure the highest level of safety.
9. Energy of Light used: Winner - Air3
Why do you think the Ulike Air3 Purple IPL device delivers results within 3 weeks? You guessed it right! The secret lies in the increased power of the light rays.
While the Ulike Sapphire Air+ Dark Green IPL device delivers a power of 19 J to destroy the hair and reach its roots, the Ulike Sapphire Air3 Purple device has an energy level of 21 J, which interrupts the life cycle of the hair and its follicle.
In this way, it completely destroys the hair-producing cells and delivers better results in less time and with fewer treatments.
