Product Introduction
The Power of IPL
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It is a type of FDA-cleared light
treatment used in the hair removal industry for years.
IPL uses intense pulses of a broad spectrum of polychromatic light. It targets
the melanin in hair follicles and sets the hair root dormant, bringing
permanent hair removal results.
What’s Difference Between IPL And Laser?
Both IPL and laser are light treatments. The critical difference between
laser and IPL is the type of light used. IPL uses a broadband pulsed light
source, whereas laser is a monochromatic coherent light source, Both methods
target the melanin in the hair follicle and can achieve permanent results.
The laser can be more precise than IPL and suitable for more skin tones. But
since it’s high power output, most medical experts recommend doing laser
treatments at professional facilities.
Ulike Patented Sapphire Ice-cooling Technolodgy
Since in IPL hair removal treatment, the melanin in the hair follicle will
absorb the IPL light and heat up, the heat will set the hair follicle dormant
and stop hair from regrowing. So sometimes, during the treatments, people will
feel slight pain like a rubber band snapping. Some at-home IPL devices’ light
window can even reach temperatures of 200 F during use.
To ease the burning sensation, many experts suggest cooling to soothe the skin
and prevent/help the burning.
Ulike is one step ahead in the game. We have developed our patented Sapphire
ice-touch technology, which allows the ice-cooling system works along with the
IPL system. So the treated area gets cooling applications and effective IPL
light simultaneously. Effectively avoiding burning and pain during use.
In Air 3, Ulike has upgraded its exclusive Sapphire ice-touch technology to a
higher level. It can effectively lower the epidermal temperature of the
effective area to 68 F and below while emitting high-energy light for 20
minutes straight.

Why do I Need to Shave before Using Ulike?
Shaving off the hair will let the treatment have better performance.
So the IPL light will work only toward the hair root but not distracted by the
surface hair.
Please only use shaving to prep the skin because other methods will remove the
hair root, affecting the treatment performance.
If you smell some burning during the treatment, it is probably because the IPL
light burns the surface hair stubble/residue.

Will IPL Hair Removal Work for Me?
For IPL hair removal to work, there must be a contrast between the skin tone
and the hair colour. Users with fair skin and dark hair will achieve the best
results. Because the IPL light is absorbed by the melanin and heated up, the
hair follicle can be killed, resulting in long-term hair removal.
Red, white, grey, and light blonde hair, which lacks melanin, may not yield
effective hair removal results. Because of the lack of melanin, the follicle
will not absorb enough light to become dormant. At the same time, deep dark
skin with a lot of melanin may be at risk of burning because the skin absorbs
too much light. This is a lamentable limitation of IPL technology.
Take a look at the chart below to see if IPL hair removal will work for you.
