How Does Ulike IPL Hair Removal Work? (3)

Traditional Methods

For far too long, we've accepted that removing hair has to be tedious, lead to skin irritation and be ingrained into our everyday routine. These traditional methods also only offer temporary fixes, allowing hair to regrow quickly. The pursuit of enduring, effective hair removal solutions has taken us beyond surface-level treatments into actual root-targeting techniques that harness powerful light to remove hair: laser and IPL.

IPL Solutions

While laser technology marked a significant advancement in hair removal, it also introduced inconveniences such as frequent clinic visits and painful treatments. Ulike IPL has been designed not only surpass surface-level solutions by addressing the root cause of hair growth for long-lasting results, but to do so without the associated pain — all from the comfort of home.

The IPL process.

IPL uses light to target melanin (pigment) in the hair to disrupt the growth cycle and prevent hair regrowth, without damaging the skin.

Is IPL right for you?

Because IPL works by targeting melanin, its effectiveness is based on the ratio between melanin in the skin and hair.

This means it can be less effective when targeting light colors due to lower melanin levels, and potentially unsafe for dark skin, which is rich in melanin and could absorb high levels of energy.
