IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal works by delivering intense pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigments in the hair follicles. The absorbed light is then converted into heat that targets the hair follicles and inhibits further hair growth.

It is important to know that IPL treatment is most effective on people with light skin tones and darker hair colors. This is because the light energy is absorbed primarily by the melanin pigment in the hair. In people with melanin-rich skin, the excess melanin can also absorb the light energy, leading to possible skin damage.

Likewise, IPL may not be as effective on people with light hair colors such as blonde, gray or red. This is because these hair colors have lower melanin content, making it difficult for the IPL device to effectively reach the hair follicles.

To ensure the effectiveness and safety of IPL hair removal, we recommend that users refer to the skin tone chart provided before purchasing.

The IPL hair removal device is not recommended if you have any of the following:

- A known skin disease

- Skin diseases such as allergic dermatitis, eczema, etc.

- Photosensitive epilepsy or photosensitivity

- Menstruating, pregnant or breastfeeding

- Dark black or sunburned skin (see skin tone chart)

- Broken skin, scab or healed wound, cancer or hemangioma

- Any artificial aesthetic, prosthetic or plastic area

- Tattoo area

IPL (intense pulsed light) treatment uses strong, broad-spectrum pulses of light to treat hair at the root. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle and then converted into heat, resulting in thinning hair growth and eventually a complete cessation of hair growth. Ulike's IPL devices are FDA/CE approved and offer a cost-effective, convenient solution compared to clinical lasers and traditional methods of hair removal.

We recommend using the device three times a week for the first month for best results, then use it every two weeks or once a month for a refresh if needed.

We also advise you to adapt your treatment to your hair growth. If you have areas of thicker hair or stubborn hair, you can increase the dosage and frequency of treatment. Always pay attention to your skin's reaction and adapt accordingly to ensure your comfort and avoid any discomfort or unwanted effects.

Most clients notice a significant hair reduction after just 3-4 weeks. With 2-3 treatments per week, the effect is fully visible after 12 weeks. After each treatment, the hair grows sparser and thinner. Eventually, the hair reduction becomes permanent. To maintain the smoothness of the skin, you need to do 1 treatment every 2 to 3 months or as needed. Both the result and the frequency of treatment vary from case to case.

According to FDA regulations, permanent hair removal means a continuous and consistent reduction in hair over a long period of time, which is what we offer, although some may interpret the term "permanent" differently. Please note that even the phototherapy used in clinics is not completely permanent.

IPL hair removal is generally considered to be much less painful and almost as effective as laser hair removal. Plus, Ulike is the only company that uses sapphire ice cooling technology to ensure completely pain-free sessions.

Yes, we recommend that you shave the treatment area before using your handset. Shaving the hair to the correct length will help the IPL device to better focus on the hair follicles.

Yes, you can use Ulike IPL devices on almost any part of your body. However, you should avoid using it directly on your genitals, eyes, tattooed areas, or areas of skin with open wounds. To make the treatment as comfortable as possible, we recommend treating sensitive areas such as the bikini line, inner thighs, and buttocks with the lowest power level.
