If you follow beauty trends, you’ve probably heard of ULIKE – the brand that has taken the international at-home hair removal market by storm. Now it’s arriving in Israel with the ROSE 2-IN-1 device. So what exactly does this gadget offer? And how does it differ from in-clinic laser treatments?
What Is IPL, Anyway?
Before we talk about the device itself, let’s understand what IPL is. It stands for Intense Pulsed Light – a technology that uses light to target hair follicles and prevent regrowth. It’s not exactly the same as laser technology (which uses a single specific wavelength), but rather a broader spectrum of light.
IPL technology has existed for years in clinics, and in recent years, the trend has been to bring it into home use. The clear advantage is comfort and privacy. The potential drawback is that home devices are usually less powerful than professional ones, mainly for safety reasons.
About the Brand
ULIKE is a leading international brand in the field of hair removal and at-home beauty devices, founded in 2013. The brand operates over 1,000 stores worldwide across 49 countries, including 18 global flagship stores that house dedicated research labs. An interesting fact: Among the company’s board members is Theodore W. Hänsch, a Nobel Prize winner in Physics.
After worldwide success, the device has become a favorite among beauty and lifestyle influencers and millions of users. Now, the company is expanding into Israel with the launch of the advanced ROSE 2-IN-1 device.
So What Does the ROSE 2-IN-1 Offer?
ULIKE’s device combines two functions in one: Fifth-generation IPL hair removal and LED red-light skin treatment. The first function targets hair removal, while the second encourages collagen production, brightens the skin, reduces redness, treats acne, minimizes pigmentation spots, and improves blood circulation.
The device is equipped with Sapphire Cooling technology, which uses a sapphire-glass cooling system that can reach as low as 4°C during use, making treatments more comfortable. It delivers a high energy intensity of up to 18.6J per flash and an ultra-fast 0.7-second flash rate.
The Technology
The device includes a smart safety sensor that detects full skin contact and prevents improper use. Its 3.3 cm² flash window is made of optical sapphire glass with up to 95% transparency. The device offers three adjustable energy levels (from 2.6 to 5.0J/cm²) and provides over one million light flashes without the need to replace the head.
According to the company, the device delivers clinic-level performance, with up to 90% hair reduction in just two weeks.
The Difference Between At-Home IPL and In-Clinic Laser
It’s important to understand: An at-home IPL device is not the same as a professional laser treatment performed in a clinic. Home devices have limited power levels (for safety reasons), which means they usually require more sessions over time.
On the other hand, home use offers flexibility – you can treat yourself at your own pace, in the comfort of your home, and without the high cost of a professional treatment series that can reach thousands of NIS.
Who Is It For?
The device is suitable for use on different body areas: Face, underarms, bikini line, legs, and arms. The company notes that it’s also ideal for treating thicker hair.
As with all IPL or laser technologies, results vary depending on the combination of skin tone and hair color. Generally, the best results are achieved when there’s a strong contrast between light skin and dark hair.
The Price Question
The ROSE 2-IN-1 device is sold in Israel for NIS 2,799. It’s not a small investment, but compared to a series of professional laser treatments that can cost between NIS 3,000 and NIS 8,000 or more (depending on the treated area and number of sessions), the numbers start to make sense. The at-home device offers an alternative: A one-time payment for a product you can use long-term on multiple areas of the body. It also comes with a one-year full warranty.
What You Should Know
Like any IPL device, the ROSE 2-IN-1 requires consistent use over time to achieve the desired results. It’s not an overnight solution but a process that demands commitment. The company recommends consulting a dermatologist before use in cases of skin conditions, sensitivity, or certain medications, and emphasizes reading the manual carefully and following all safety instructions.
Bottom Line
ULIKE joins the growing trend of at-home hair removal and offers an advanced solution for those seeking a convenient alternative to in-clinic treatments. Combining fifth-generation technology with skin care benefits, it allows users to perform treatments privately and comfortably at home. It’s certainly an appealing option for anyone who’s been considering professional hair removal treatments and is now looking for a more flexible and convenient way to go about it.
