7 Reasons to Switch to Pulsed Light

We sell an IPL hair removal device, so you probably expect us to tell you how great it is. We’d rather give you the facts—the actual timeline for results and what our customers notice week after week. Then you can decide for yourself.

Razors, cream, wax, electric epilators: most of our clients have tried everything before finding us. Each of these methods cuts or pulls out the hair, but none of them addresses what causes it to grow back. That’s exactly where pulsed light makes the difference, and that’s why it eventually replaces everything else.

Here are the seven reasons that come up most often in our customers’ reviews, each backed by evidence or statistics.

1

You shave 2.3 times a week. Over a lifetime, that adds up to 1,728 hours.

Two and a half months, full-time, spent in the shower with a razor. Not to mention the razors you forgot, the cuts, and that “stinging” sensation that same evening. With pulsed light, you’ll have that time back in just a few weeks.

2

Waxing and beauty treatments cost more than €1,500 over three years.

We never really keep track of it because it adds up in small amounts. A waxing appointment for 35 or 50 €, every month, for years. Laser hair removal at a salon means writing a check for 2,000 € all at once. At-home IPL treatment is a one-time purchase.

3

Ingrown hairs and "strawberry legs" are caused by the razor, not by you.

The blade cuts the hair at an angle, just below the surface. As it grows back, it curls, pierces the skin, or gets trapped underneath—resulting in a red spot, a pimple, or an ingrown hair. As long as you keep shaving, the problem keeps coming back. When you treat the root, the regrowth becomes finer and sparser, and the problem disappears along with it.

4

Intense pulsed light targets the root. It’s the same technology used at beauty salons.

The flash of light is absorbed by the hair, converted into heat, and neutralizes the follicle that produces it. Session after session, hair grows back less frequently, becomes finer, and eventually stops growing altogether in the treated areas. This clinically proven technology has been used in salons for over twenty years and has now been miniaturized for home use.

5

The first results come in during week 4. The actual results come in between weeks 8 and 12.

This is where many brands are vague, and where many customers give up. So let’s be clear: nothing visible happens during the first week. The hair falls out within 10 to 15 days after the session. By week 4, you’ll be shaving less often. Between 8 and 12 weeks, the treated areas will remain smooth for the long term.

6

20 minutes, once a week, in the comfort of your own home. Including the bikini line and underarms.

No appointments to schedule, no waiting rooms, no awkward poses in front of a stranger. You can work out your entire body in about 20 minutes while watching a TV show, and you choose the intensity based on the muscle group.

7

A one-time purchase of €89.99, and 100 days to change your mind.

A device that costs €89.99 and replaces years of razors and wax—that’s what makes some customers skeptical at first. We sell exclusively on solippy.com, with no resellers or big-box stores, and that’s what makes this price possible. If you don’t see results after 100 days, we’ll take the device back and refund your money.

Questions People Ask Us Before Buying

Does it hurt?

A brief sensation of warmth with each flash, similar to a warm rubber band. Start at level 1 and increase the intensity session by session. The gentle mode is designed for sensitive areas.

Can I use it on my face and bikini line?

Yes, at levels 1 and 2, avoiding the eye area and moles. Many clients actually start with the lips and bikini line.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You have 100 days—enough time to complete the 8- to 12-week treatment regimen. If you don't see results, simply return the device to us and we'll refund your money.

It's up to you to decide

Ready to put the razor away?

The time and cost figures are approximate averages. Results and the time it takes to see them vary from person to person, mainly depending on the regularity of the sessions, which is why it may take 100 days to notice them in yourself.

Collapsible content

Before using the Loop, carefully read the safety manual provided to familiarize yourself with the safety precautions.

Shave the area to be treated: Use a clean razor to shave the area you wish to treat. Avoid waxing, as this removes hair at the root, which is counterproductive for pulsed light hair removal.

Clean and dry your skin: Make sure your skin is clean, dry and free from cosmetics, deodorants and other skin care products.

Test a small area of skin to check reaction. Wait 24 hours. If no adverse reaction is observed, you can proceed.

Plug in your Loop and turn it on by holding down the button on the back of the device

The Loop has 5 intensity levels. Start with the lowest level, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Gradually increase the intensity according to your comfort and your skin's reaction.

To select the intensity, simply press the green button on the back of the Loop once or several times.

Place the device perpendicular to the area to be treated.

Press the button to trigger the light pulse.

Move the device to the next area, taking care not to treat the same area twice in the same session.

Sessions should last according to the size of the area to be treated. A session for the legs can last around 15 minutes.

Repeat sessions every two weeks for the first two months, then once a month or as needed to maintain results.

Collapsible content

Once the session is over, turn off the Loop and unplug it.

Apply a gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin.

Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on treated areas.
