Hair removal technology has advanced significantly in the last decade. At-home IPL devices now offer near-permanent results comparable to professional treatments at a fraction of the long-term cost.
Philips makes the most trusted at-home IPL device — the Lumea Advanced uses SenseIQ technology that reads your skin tone and recommends the correct intensity automatically. Corded for continuous use without waiting to recharge, five intensity settings, and face and body attachments included. The device that most women who try IPL at home start with and often don't need to upgrade from.
Braun's Silk-Expert Pro 5 is the most technologically advanced at-home IPL — Senso-Adapt technology reads your skin tone 80 times per second and adjusts intensity continuously, delivering the safest effective treatment available without professional consultation. 400,000 flashes means it lasts years, and it includes a Gillette Venus razor for pre-treatment preparation.
Ulike's Air3 uses their Ice-Cooling technology that keeps the treatment area at 25°C during use — the most comfortable IPL treatment available at home without the numbing cream that makes some sessions impractical. FDA-cleared, sapphire contact cooling, and clinical trial results showing 90% hair reduction after three weeks of treatment. The IPL for people who've avoided it because of the discomfort concern.
