Part 1: Is It Necessary To Remove Facial Hair?
The decision to get rid of facial, arm, or body hair, is more of a personal issue than a health issue. For some people, facial hair grows on the neck, cheeks, jawline, and mid-cheek area. How people with such hairs on their bodies feel determines their reaction.
While some people aren’t a massive fan of facial hair, to others facial hair is their aesthetic goal. Whether you want to be the hairy Mary or the smooth-skinned Sally, it’s a personal choice. If your hair regrows too fast and you have to shave too often, the skin is more likely to irritate. Again, shaving rash, and acne breakouts are skin problems likely to affect such people.
Part 2: IPL Hair Removal Method Vs Other Methods Of Hair Removal
When you’ve got hair on all your body parts, the IPL hair removal method is the most convenient and effective way of getting rid of all the unwanted hair. For many years, people have been using different hair removal methods including shaving with razors, trimming with razors, and waxing which hurts if the hair is longer. How do these methods compare with IPL hair removal?
With shaving, some people have to do it after every two or three days according to Gillette. This is too tedious. Shaving is perceived to be cheaper compared to IPL hair removal. On the contrary, the cumulative costs of razor or shaving device replacement are higher. While shaving is likely to cause razor burns, ingrown hair, nicks, and cuts, IPL is safe whether you are doing hair removal down there, around the bikini line, or on the face.
Even though electrolysis still works, it’s time-consuming and also painful. The other methods of controlling or minimizing facial and body hair growth include sugaring, epilation, hair removal cream, and laser hair removal. If you’ve been using any of these hair removal methods, we suggest trying the Ulike Air 10 IPL Hair Removal Device.
Part 3: Is Ulike Air 10 IPL Hair Removal Device Worth It?
The new Ulike Air 10 IPL hair removal handset is powerful enough to deliver an energy output of 26J which is pretty impressive. This is courtesy of the double light source and it makes the device more effective. There’s no other IPL hair removal device in the market with dual lamps.
Another interesting feature making the Ulike Air 10 worth it is the SkinSensor that ensures the device users’ skin safety and comfort when zapping unwanted hair even on the most sensitive body parts. It protects the skin by detecting the skin tone and based on the contrast between the skin tone and hair color, the device increases or decreases the light energy intensity. This ensures no harmful rays are emitted.
To avoid the pain experienced in laser hair removal, this at-home IPL hair removal device features the Crystal Cooling Technology that keeps the skin at 16°C.
Part 4: Ulike Air 10 Treatment Modes
For convenience and efficiency, Ulike Air 10 has five different treatment modes; SHR mode which eliminates even the most stubborn hair, Fast Mode, AutoGlide Mode, Normal Mode, and High Mode.
Let’s discuss the Ulike Air 10 treatment modes:
Fast Mode – The Fast Mode has two rapid flashes of lower light energy. This mode is recommended for hair maintenance once your hair removal is at a growth rate that you’re happy with.
Normal Mode – This mode is used most of the time during standard and normal hair removal sessions. It uses medium energy and the energy is automatically adjusted by the built-in SkinSensor. The lighter the skin, the higher the energy; the darker the skin, the lower the energy. This prevents skin burns and the triggering of other skin issues.
High Mode – The High Mode is used to target stubborn hair. Again, it has an automatic energy adjustment which works based on the skin tone. Once this mode is activated, the device produces two rapid flashes of high-energy light output.
SHR Mode – This mode is designed for tackling every type of hair. Whether it’s coarse, fine, darker, or even lighter. Its basically the salon equivalent in an at-home handheld device. After switching ON this mode, this IPL device emits four rapid bursts of light energy that ensures every hair strand is tackled from its root. Don’t expect the AutoGlide Mode to be functional when the SHR Mode is switched on.
If it’s your first time using this Ulike Air 10 IPL device, start on the Fast Mode and test it on reasonably sensitive skin areas.
Part 5: Pre Treatment Routine
When starting to use this IPL device, do a quick sensitive test. To do this test, power on the device, put on the goggle, and find somewhere inconspicuous on your body where you’re sure you’ll get a good idea of how the skin will react to the treatment. Again, test it on the Normal, High Mode and complete the test with SHR Mode.
Part 6: Face and Neck Treatment
To eliminate the hair on your face, neck, and any other part of the body, first power up the IPL device by pressing the big front button for 2-3 seconds. Put on the goggles and firm it up against the skin.
You can start with any skin area provided you know the the right treatment mode to use.
Part 7: My 30-Day Test Results After Using Ulike Air 10
At first, I was super skeptical about how effective this at-home IPL hair removal device can be. After using the Ulike Air 10 for about one week, I didn’t have to shave for 4 days unlike before when I had to shave every day. As the hair runs in its normal growth cycle, some hair growth is obvious on my facial and neck hair.
This is because some hair was too light, or maybe a little bit too grey making the IPL not target them as it does with dark hair. But compared to before IPL use, the hair density reduced greatly. I also noticed a slow hair growth rate after using this IPL device consistently.
Now I can confidently say my facial and neck hair which was my target has reduced by 80% compared to when I was starting. Today I’m no longer getting ingrown hairs, shaving rush, and razor burn.
I’ll now continue using the Ulike Air 10 for the next couple of months only for maintenance purposes.
Conclusion
If you’ve never wanted facial hair or any other hair on your body, the Ulike Air 10 will help eliminate the hair by heating and destroying the hair follicle. Also, if taking care of the hair on your bikini line, arms, back, stomach, chest, and legs is a challenge, this is one of the most effective hair removal devices you can use while at home to get rid of the hair nearly permanently.
