10 Best IPL Hair Removal Devices UK 2024 | Philips, Braun, and More

Looking for an excellent all-rounder? You can't get much better than this fantastic device from Braun. It does everything you'd expect and more, with skin tone detection, precision attachments, and a dazzling 10 energy settings!

With a lamp lifetime of approximately 400,000 flashes, this IPL device should last you for around 22 years, making it well worth the high price. You'll be able to cover your whole body quickly too, thanks to the super quick time between flashes. Permanent hair removal has never been so easy! 

This is Philips' most powerful IPL device to date, and what a wonderful product it is! Each attachment, as well as the device itself, has been carefully designed to help you comfortably reach every curve and contour of your body.

What really makes this device stand out is how effective it is. Studies have shown that there is as much as a 92% reduction in hair after just 3 treatments. The price may be a lot to pay upfront, but you'll have the satisfaction of seeing results fast!

The Sensilight Pro takes things back to basics - but when something works as well as this, that's not necessarily a bad thing! One of the few products in our ranking that can be used without a cord, it gives you a lot more freedom of movement.

As you'd expect from such a high-quality device, it has the ability to detect skin tone changes and, with a choice of 6 energy settings to choose from, you'll be able to select one that's just right for you!

This product really does come with everything you could possibly need to make the IPL process pleasant. With not one but two precision heads, as well as a trimmer attachment, you'll be able to use this gadget to swiftly remove unwanted hair from head to toe.

The time between flashes, while not the fastest around, is still very reasonable and will allow you to cover all the main areas in approximately 20 minutes. Even after just 3 treatments, you'll begin to see brilliant results. 

If speed is of the essence and you need to get your hair removal routine done quickly, take a look at this product from SmoothSkin. With 100 flashes a minute (that's a flash every 0.6 seconds), you'll be able to cover even the largest areas in no time at all!

Even though you'll likely be moving this device around your body at a fast pace, it automatically adjusts to any subtle changes in your skin tone. We also love the fact that it has unlimited flashes!

With over 500,000 flashes, you don't have to worry about replacing the lamp in this IPL device anytime soon. According to the manufacturer, you should be able to go without visible hair regrowth for up to 6 months following a period of regular use! 

The only drawback with this product is that the accessories designed for use on different body parts don't come as part of the package and instead need to be bought separately, adding to the overall cost. 

The lovely lilac colour of this device is bound to tempt you - luckily, there's much more to it than just looking great! The precision head that's included will allow you to focus the light treatment exactly where you want it, making this an incredibly effective gadget.

In addition, you get a razor and a mini pouch for storing everything, making it perfect for holidays or weekends away. While it only has three light settings, this is a good quality IPL device that most users will have no issue with.

This is another IPL device that's on the smaller side, but luckily it has a very high number of flashes - so it should last you a while! It also has the huge advantage of being suitable for a much wider range of skin and hair types, including dark skin as well as blonde, white, and red hair. 

Despite being a more inclusive option and coming with extra accessories, this device sadly lacks a precision head - this is a shame since it costs almost the same as other products that do include one. As a result, we've had to put it further down our list.

As it's compact, this lightweight option is easy to use and it's a great option for travelling with. It still boasts much of the technology that other, larger Sensica products use, while the small size makes it more convenient for harder-to-reach areas.

With only 100,000 flashes though, the lamp won't have as long a lifespan as the other recommendations on our list. Plus, no precision tips are included, meaning you might find it tricky to target certain body parts.

For a cheap option to get you started with IPL, consider something like this cheap device by BaByliss. Even though it's a little basic, it has five light settings which provide you with a decent amount of control.

This IPL device's affordability does mean that it lacks quite a lot of features and information, such as the time between flashes - because of this, it won't be nearly as effective as some of the pricier products out there.
