4. Is Ulike Air 3 Right for You? (Skin Tone & Hair Color Chart)
The effectiveness and safety of IPL hair removal depend on the contrast between your skin tone and hair color. The Ulike Air 3 is designed for a range of skin tones and hair colors. Please refer to the chart below to determine if this device is suitable for you.
Image: Skin tone and hair color chart indicating suitability for IPL treatment. Green checkmarks denote applicable combinations, while red crosses indicate non-applicable ones.
Key points from the chart:
- Skin Tone: Effective on Very Fair, Fair, Medium, Olive/Light Brown, and Brown skin tones. Not suitable for Dark Brown/Black or Darker skin tones.
- Hair Color: Effective on Black, Dark Brown, Brown, and Light Brown hair colors. Not suitable for Red, Light Blond, or White/Grey hair.
IPL technology targets the melanin in hair follicles. A higher contrast between skin and hair color yields the best results. If you are unsure about your skin type, please consult a dermatologist.
5. Setup and Preparation
Before each treatment session, follow these steps to prepare yourself and the device:
- Prepare Skin: Shave the area you intend to treat. The skin should be clean, dry, and free of any lotions, creams, or deodorants. Do not wax or pluck hair, as IPL requires the hair follicle to be intact below the skin surface.
- Connect to Power: Plug the power adapter into the device and then into a wall outlet. The device is designed to be used while connected to power.
- Wear Goggles: Put on the provided protective goggles to shield your eyes from the intense light flashes.
- Power On: Long press the power button on the device to turn it on. The indicator lights will illuminate.

The Ulike Air 3 supports two flashing methods:
- Auto-Glide Mode: For fast treatment of large areas. Press and hold the flash button, then glide the device over your skin. The device will automatically emit flashes at regular intervals.

6.3 During Treatment
- Ensure the device's treatment window is in full contact with your skin. The device will not flash if there is insufficient contact.
- Move the device slowly and evenly across the treatment area. Avoid overlapping flashes too much to prevent skin irritation.
- The ice-cooling feature will activate automatically to maintain a comfortable skin temperature during treatment.
7. Recommended Treatment Plan
Consistent use is key to achieving optimal hair reduction results. The following is a general guideline; individual results may vary.
| Phase | Duration | Frequency | Expected Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Treatment | 1-3 Weeks | 3 treatments per week | Visible hair growth reduction begins. |
| Continued Reduction | 4-6 Weeks | 2 treatments per week | Hair follicles shrink, hair growth slows, and hair becomes finer. |
| Long-lasting Results | 7-10 Weeks and beyond | 1-2 times per month (as needed) | Skin becomes smooth and nearly hairless. Maintenance treatments help sustain results. |

- Storage: Store the device in its original packaging or a protective case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children.

9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Ulike Air 3 device, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
