Performance + Comfort Effective, Safe, Painless and Smooth
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light.
IPL hair removal targets hair at the root, the powerful light puts the hair follicle in a dormant state, so the hair grows thinner and slower, and stops regrowth after regular treatments. When the light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, it is converted to heat, interrupting the hair growth cycle and preventing hair regrowth.
IceTouch Technology
Ulike's patented IceTouch technology is rooted in clinical sapphire contact cooling, which is one of the most effective cooling devices. Not only does it increase patient comfort and reduce side effects, but it also increases treatment efficiency.
Pioneer in At-Home Hair Removal DeviceUlike is the first to introduce sapphire contact cooling technology to at-home hair removal systems.
How does IPL hair removal work?
The light energy is emitted through the surface of the skin and absorbed by the melanin present in the hair shaft.
The absorbed light is converted into heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which deactivates the hair follicle and prevents further growth.
Why Sapphire?
Sapphire has been adopted in professional laser/IPL machine handles for its excellent light transmittance and thermal conductivity. It offers a suitable cooling method throughout the procedure, representing one of the most effective cooling devices. For it not only increase level of comfort for the patient, reduce the incidence of side effects, but also increase treatment efficacy.
Sapphire Ice-Cooling can maintain the contact epidemal temperature at 20°C (68℉) under 30 minutes of continuous use.
How does Sapphire Ice-cooling works?
Gel cooling
Uses a layer of chilled aqueous gel applied to the skin before or during the laser/IPL treatment. It cools and protects the epidermis and reduces pain and discomfort. However, it can be messy, time-consuming and interfere with the light transmission.
Ice pack cooling
Uses a cold compress applied to the skin before or after the laser/IPL treatment. It reduces pain, swelling and inflammation and is easy and inexpensive to use. However, it can be messy, cause frostbite, skin irritation and uneven cooling.
Sapphire contact cooling
Uses a sapphire crystal integrated into the handpiece that contacts the skin during the laser/IPL treatment.
It cools and protects the epidermis and reduces pain and discomfort. It also allows better light transmission than metal contact cooling.
