In this article, we’ve explained which one is better- Ulike Air 10 vs. Glattol because both of these models are getting a huge appreciation in the UK market.

Ulike Air 10 Vs. Glattol Comparison
Design
The design of Glattol is in the form of a gun that has a long handle at the bottom. This handle makes sure that one gets the best grip irrespective of their palm size. Glattol also comes in a colour combination of white and golden that gives it a sleek and feminine appearance. Its design is comfortable and lightweight which makes it ideal for use for all genders and age ranges.
Ulike Air 10 comes with a very interesting design in the form of a curved bar. The centre of the device has intelligently designed curves that make sure that the device fits in all hands comfortably. There’s no risk of the device slipping from the hands in case of both Ulike Air 10 and Glattol. Ulike Air 10 comes in two colours- Purple and White. The buttons on Ulike Air 10 are given at the sides so that one doesn’t press them accidentally during the treatment.
Technology Applied
Unfortunately, Glattol doesn’t come with any exclusive or interesting technologies that make it unique. It’s a regular but highly effective IPL device that comes in a gun form. On the other hand, one can find interesting technologies in Ulike Air 10 like Sapphire Ice cooling technology. This technology will keep one’s skin cool from the heat that the IPL beams generate. What’s more interesting is that the IPL beams will turn into heat energy but work only on the hair roots and keep the skin unaffected, thanks to Sapphire ice cooling technology.
The automatic intensity adjustment and skin sensor work together to release the right amount of IPL beams that are needed. Ulike Air 10 will sense the skin tone before each flash and adjust the right amount of intensity that’s needed based on the skin colour. As a result, Ulike Air 10 will shoot the right amount of IPL beams so that it doesn’t affect the skin.
Effectiveness and Performance
Both Ulike Air 10 and Glattol are very effective and their performance is very impressive. Ulike Air 10 can give one up to 97% of hair regrowth reduction in just 1 week of consistent use. One can notice hair shedding and least hair regrowth along with fine hair from 2 to 3 weeks onwards. There won’t be any more hair regrowing as one reaches their 6th week of consistent treatment. Ulike Air 10 is powerful and effective against stubborn hair and coarse hair that is difficult to remove even with lasers.
Glattol can start showing results from 3 weeks onwards. There will be no new hair regrowing once their treatment reaches 6 weeks upon consistent use. Glattol is a very quick IPL device that can shoot IPL beams at an interval of 0.9 seconds in automatic mode. It will consume at most 15 joules of energy at its peak level, i.e. level 9.
Pain Level and Comfort
Ulike Air 10 claims to be nearly nearly painless and comfortable. Similarly, Glattol is nearly nearly painless too, if we were to believe the company’s claims. Since Ulike Air 10 uses Sapphire ice cooling technology and automatic skin sensing technology, it can keep the pain at bay and ensure a comfortable and smooth IPL treatment. These two technologies work together to give a comfortable IPL experience. The Sapphire ice cooling will keep the skin cool and encapsulate all the heat within the hair roots only. The skin sensors will make sure that fewer IPL beams penetrate if the skin is darker and more IPL beams penetrate if the skin tone is light. This way, one won’t feel the sensation of a rubber band snapping their skin.
Glattol is comfortable too. But sometimes one can feel a sensation of rubber band snapping because Glattol doesn’t come with any such technologies to prevent such sensations from happening.
Treatment Time and Convenience
Ulike Air 10 can give one up to 97% of hair regrowth reduction in just 1 week. The treatment time will be about 10 to 15 minutes for a full body because Ulike Air 10 has two IPL bulbs instead of 1. It’s very convenient to use Ulike Air 10. One has to make a one-time investment and read the user manual. The treatment will be very simple and straightforward just like any other IPL device.
When talking about Glattol, its treatment time can reach up to 30 minutes or even more for full body treatment. One may need to invest at least 9 to 12 weeks to get long-term results. However, it’s very convenient to use Glattol just like Ulike Air 10. Glattol has a convenient gun form design and comes with automatic and manual modes. Similarly, Ulike Air 10 comes with SHR mode that can treat even the most stubborn hair on one’s body along with coarse hair.
Safety
The skin sensing technology and sapphire ice cooling technology are both inclined towards offering a safe treatment in the case of Ulike Air 10. Both Ulike Air 10 and Glattol make sure that one doesn’t accidentally fire IPL beams onto their face. This means that both Ulike Air 10 and Glattol will first check if the IPL bulb is facing the skin and fire IPL beams only if they sense skin. None of the devices will fire IPL beams if one is facing the IPL head towards their face. Moreover, the dermatologists have tested the device to be safe for use. On top of that, Ulike Air 10 comes FDA-approved.
Customer Support and Warranty
Ulike Air 10 and Glattol come with a fascinating customer support and warranty system. Ulike Air 10 comes with 2-year limited warranty and a money back guarantee of 90 days. One will get a warranty of 3 years in Glattol and a money back guarantee of 90 days. But if one wants to return the product, they’ll need to contact customer support and make sure that the product is in the right condition and has all the contents that came in the shipping package.

Both Ulike Air 10 and Glattol have an impressive design and attractive colour schemes.
