Hi, I’m Ahsan Farooq Khan, a physician and a senior clinical fellow in dermatology. My journey into the world of skincare is fascinating.
Growing up, I was always curious about the human body and how it worked. So, as a child, I would always ask a million questions about every rash, scrape, or blemish. I had no idea that these inquiries I had would later propel me into a career as a dermatologist.
As I entered college, I found myself drawn to the field of medicine as I was captivated by the idea of helping people have healthier and flawless skin.
After becoming a doctor, I felt that it was extremely important for me to pursue post-graduation. I studied very hard for the entrance exam and luckily passed it. To become a dermatologist, one has to first complete the residency in internal medicine and pass the exam. Hence, after applying to a couple of institutions, I was lucky enough to get a residency in internal medicine. During my residency in internal medicine, it is mandatory to do a two-month rotation in dermatology. I was really happy because this beach of medicine had always inspired me. Luckily, I am working in an institution where the daily turnover in a skin clinic crosses 300 in summer so I got to see a huge variety of patients. I got actively involved in treating the patients even though I was an internal medicine resident. Therefore, I first became an internist before I joined the field of dermatology.
I made the decision to pursue a career in dermatology after my rotation in dermatology. I was resolved to become a dermatologist who helped people feel good about their own skin in addition to treating skin issues. As a result, I am now capable of performing all fundamental and sophisticated dermatological operations, including electrocautery, cryotherapy, skin biopsies, intralesional injections, and all cosmetic procedures like PRP and mesotherapy, Botox and fillers, HiFU facials, and I have a special interest in treating the patients with all major kinds of lasers as well.
Being in this field, I have to stay updated and learn the latest technology so I can give my best to my patients. Given this, I have come across countless hair removal devices.
Recently, I came across the Ulike IPL Hair Removal Device while investigating the most recent developments in skincare technology. I became interested in it because it seemed to fit with my goal of giving my patients the requirements for skincare and cosmetic products that are safe and effective.
To ensure the Ulike device’s effectiveness and safety, I made the decision to use it myself. Before suggesting any product to my patients, I felt it was imperative to give it a thorough personal evaluation. What I found was a cutting-edge hair removal method that not only met but even surpassed my expectations.
My journey with the Ulike IPL Hair Removal Device allowed me to experience firsthand the incredible benefits it could offer. As a dermatologist, I was impressed by its professional-grade IPL technology, user-friendly design, and safety features. It was a product that aligned perfectly with my commitment to providing my patients with the best skincare solutions available.
As I have mentioned earlier, I’ve always wanted my patients to look and feel their best.
And there was this one time, one of my patients had stubborn body hair and she couldn’t afford frequent clinic visits. Also, her kid was little at the time, so she couldn’t devote much of her time to her grooming.
That’s when I recommended Ulike IPL hair removal device to her. She was not a big fan of the treatment at the beginning as she had tried various devices in the past, all with disappointing results. 
However, since this IPL device is proven to be safe and effective, I assured her this product won’t let her down. So she gave it a try. When she went through a nearly painless first session, she kept using the device as recommended. After a month, she noticed a significant reduction in hair growth. Her confidence soared as the weeks went by. She no longer had to worry about going to the salon every now and then. She was delighted to see such good results.
And I’m really glad to see the results firsthand.
However, there’s just one thing that I need to take care of while recommending this product to my patients. The device is not suitable for every hair type or skin tone. If you have very light hair or very dark skin, you might have to consider buying the device. But if your skin doesn’t fall in this category, you can blindly trust the device for your hair removal woes.
The Ulike gadget is an example of an at-home solution that some patients may select, but it’s vital to stress that dermatology clinics still provide a wide range of treatments in addition to hair removal. Patients frequently visit our clinic for more complicated skin problems, medical care, and individual consultations that go beyond what can be offered by at-home equipment.
In the end, it is my responsibility as a dermatologist to give my patients comprehensive care and direction while making sure they have access to the best solutions for their individual needs. My ability to provide my patients with options that improve their beauty, confidence, and general well-being has grown thanks in large part to the Ulike IPL Hair Removal Device.
