How It Works - Learn How Everything Works

Ulike's Power Couple

The dynamic duo of IPL and Patented Sapphire Cooling

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.

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.

What to expect?

Here is how you can achieve smooth results with regular uses of Ulike device. IPL targets the hair that is in the anagen/growth phase. The light is absorbed by the melanin in the follicle and turns into heat. The heat destroys the follicle and makes it wither and dormant.

Shaving

Uses a razor to cut the hair at the surface of the skin. Quick, easy and cheap. But it can cause nicks, cuts, skin irritation and ingrown hairs, and it needs to done every 2~3 days.

Hair removal cream

The chemicals in the cream dissolves the hair at the surface of the skin. Quick, easy and cheap.
But it can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions and unpleasant odor, and it needs to done every 2~3 days.

IPL hair removal

Uses broad spectrum intense pulsed light target the melanin in the hair follicles. Effective, long-lasting results, can be use at home. Need more sessions/treatments than laser.

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.

How does Sapphire Ice-cooling works?

Once the device is turned on, the active cooling system inside Ulike hair removal device is also turned on, you can see the sapphire light window get frosted in 5 seconds. The Sapphire Ice-cooling not only protects the skin and provides comfort, but also ensures a highly effective IPL hair removal treatment.

Sapphire Light Window

Graphene Cooling

Dual Air Duct Heat Disspation

IceTouch can maintain the contact epidemal temperature at 20°C (68℉) under 30 minutes of continuous use.

*Data comes from Ulike lab’s temperature monitor experiment of Air3.

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.

Your Safety is Our Top Priority

All Ulike devices have built-in skin sensor indicator that only lights up when the light window touches your skin fully. This prevents the light from flashing accidentally or escaping during the treatment. The device also comes with safety goggles to protect your eyes from the light.
