Is the Ulike Air 3 IPL worth it?
Yes — if comfort matters and you'll pick the level yourself.
Its cooled sapphire window makes flashes hard to feel, and it can flash automatically as you glide. Unlike the Air 10 it has no skin sensor, so you choose the level, and the fan is audible. The first month asks for three sessions a week.

How we reached this verdict
T3 saw a clear difference after three weeks on the starting schedule of three sessions a week. Galaxus found the cooled window kept flashes almost unnoticeable, but noted the audible fan, the cable and the lack of a skin sensor. No allowed shop has verified owner reviews of it yet.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
