At-home IPL (intense pulsed light) devices are sold in Singapore as an alternative to salon hair removal packages and regular shaving. They’re a one-off purchase rather than a per-session cost.
This guide compares ten devices sold on Shopee Singapore by flash count, cooling and what comes in the box. We haven’t tested these devices. Specs are as listed by the sellers, and we haven’t verified the makers’ claims about results.
This article is general information, not medical advice. Read the device’s manual before use. If you have a skin condition or any concerns about using IPL on your skin, ask a doctor or pharmacist before you start.

What to compare on cost
Local vs overseas sellers. The Air-3 and Air 10 Pro are each sold by a local seller (#1, #2) and an overseas seller (#4, #6). Compare the live prices, but weigh any saving against longer delivery and warranty repairs that may mean an international return.
Bundles. The Braun bundle (#7) and Ulike sterilizer set (#8) add accessories. They’re only worth it if you’d use the extras. The combo (#10) is two full devices, which most households won’t need.
Flash count and cartridges. A higher flash count means the device should last longer before the lamp runs out. The eosika (#9) uses replaceable cartridges, so check the price and availability of replacements before you buy.
Warranty. Check the warranty length and who handles repairs (local seller, overseas seller or brand) on each listing.
FAQ
Is at-home IPL permanent?
Don’t assume so. Check what the maker says for your specific model. We haven’t verified those claims, and results vary from person to person.
Can I use IPL on my skin tone and hair colour?
Check the manufacturer’s skin-tone and hair-colour guidance for your model before you buy. If you’re unsure, ask a doctor.
Which body areas can I use it on?
The manual lists the areas each device is meant for and the areas to avoid. Use the attachments it specifies.
Can more than one person use the same device?
Clean it between users as the manual describes. The Air-3 sterilizer set (#8) includes a UV box for storage and cleaning.
What’s the difference between IPL and laser hair removal?
IPL uses broad-spectrum light. Laser uses a single, focused wavelength. Clinic laser treatments are done by trained staff and are usually priced per session or as a package, while an at-home IPL device is a one-off purchase.
How do I choose the intensity setting?
Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for your skin tone, as set out in the manual.
Before you buy
- Read the manual for skin-tone limits and areas to avoid.
- Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you have a skin condition or any concerns about using IPL on your skin.
- Check the live price, delivery time and warranty on each listing.
