Ulike (a UPL Hair Removal Device)

Ulike Air 3

Ulike IPL Device (FDA/UKCA cleared) is a one-time investment of around £300, trusted by over 6 million people to safely and painlessly remove body hair, as a home alternative to laser removal, which runs into tens of thousands of pounds over a lifetime.

The company offers a Community Heroines 10% discount for UK health workers, first responders, teacher and military personnel.

Who Should Not Use IPL Hair Removal?

IPL works by targeting melanin (pigment) in the skin, so only works for people with fair skin and dark hair. It won’t work for people with blonde or red hair, and should be avoided for people with dark skin (due to melanin, could cause blisters and burns).

Do not use this device near children or pets.

Also avoid IPL Hair Removal:

  • When pregnant or breastfeeding
  • When menstruating
  • On sunburned skin
  • For skin allergies or eczema
  • For open wounds & scars
  • On or near the eyes
  • On tattoos
  • On genital areas
  • For photosensitive or epilepsy
  • If you have cancer or hemangioma (non-cancer growths)
  • On plastic prosthetics

For polycystic ovary syndrome, talk to your GP as sometimes this device could trigger more hair growth.

How Does IPL Hair Removal Work?

Light is absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle. This is converted into heat (Ulike includes ice-cooling technology to keep things comfortable), which results in thinner regrowth, and eventually stops hair growth altogether.

Skin is sensitive after use, so keep out of the sun (most sun protection creams contain pet-toxic zinc or titanium oxide, so wash these off, before letting animal friends kiss or lick you!)

How to Use Ulike IPL Device

The Air3 device should be adequate for most people.

  • Shave and dry the targeted areas.
  • Put on the safety goggles.
  • Power the device, then press to the skin.
  • Treat sensitive areas (bikini line, inner thighs, buttocks) at lowest power level.

How Long to See Results?

  • Legs (7 minutes)
  • Arms (2 minutes)
  • Armpits (2 minutes)
  • Bikini line (1 minute)
  • Face (30 seconds)

Genuine Customer Reviews

Just a few weeks and already a big difference. And it’s painless.

After 3 weeks the hair on my bikini line has thinned down. The hair on my stomach has already completely disappeared.

What was only possible in a clinic a few years ago, has become an effective and safe option for patients to undertake, in the privacy of their own home. Dr David Lim (dermatologist)
