Laser hair reduction can be achieved only with the guidance of an experienced professional. You must book an appointment with your dermatologist if you opt for laser hair reduction.
If you were wondering where to get Intense Pulse Light for at-home hair reduction, it is available as a simple handheld device. The Ulike Air 3 is a great convenient device that makes hair reduction safe and comfortable.
For a detailed understanding of how to use the device, I demonstrate it in this video.

Whether you choose laser or IPL hair removal, the basic preparation is the same.
- You need to shave off any hair that might be present on the surface of the skin.
- Wash and clean the skin dry.
If you use an at-home IPL device like the Ulike Air 3, you need to wear your safety goggles and start using the device covering the entire area to be treated.
Start with the lowest intensity and test it over a small area to ensure it suits your skin.
Once comfortable, gradually increase the intensity and use the different modes based on the recommendations for your skin type and area as given in the manual.
If you opt for laser hair reduction, you must visit your dermatologist’s office for appointments as scheduled. While on the other hand, the IPL device can be used within the comforts of your home but needs to be used every other day to begin with.
Both forms of hair reduction have their pros and cons. Whatever form you choose, making an informed decision is important. While your dermatologist will be your best guide when you choose laser hair removal, make sure you choose an FDA-cleared, reliable device for IPL hair removal for at-home use.
