How it works

Step 1: Select your intensity

Five intensity levels with auto and manual modes, plus a built-in skin-tone sensor. Start on level 1 and move up when it suits you.

Step 2: Pulse across clean, dry skin

IPL sends brief pulses of broad-spectrum light into the pigment at the base of the hair. It is the same light-based method used by flagship devices sold at £585.

Step 3: Repeat on your schedule

Most people describe it as a warm snap against the skin, not a sting. You control the pace and the level, at home, on your own schedule.

Your IPL routine, over time

Hair grows in cycles, with different hairs entering the active growth phase at different times. Repeated sessions follow that cycle rather than assuming every hair is in the same phase at once.

First session

  • Begin at level 1, increasing only when the setting feels comfortable.
  • Each flash can feel like a brief warm snap against the skin.
  • IPL directs light towards pigment in hairs that are in the active growth phase.

Week 2

  • Keep to the session interval in the supplied user guide.
  • Use the adjustable level to keep the warm-snap sensation comfortable.
  • Hairs grow in different cycles, so they are not all in the same phase at once.

Week 4

  • Continue with the schedule stated in the user guide.
  • Note the intensity that feels comfortable for each listed body area.
  • Repeat sessions meet different hairs as they enter the active growth phase.

Week 6+

  • Continue only at the interval set out in the supplied user guide.
  • Clean the flash window between sessions using the guide's instructions.
  • Hair cycles continue independently, and their timing can vary by body area.
Comparison table headed IPL at home, or IPL by appointment. Clarty IPL: used at home whenever suits you, a one-off purchase, five intensity levels with a skin-tone sensor, operated by you. Salon course: in a salon or clinic by appointment, £200-500 per course, intensity set by the practitioner. Both use intense pulsed light.

Do the salon maths

A salon IPL course typically costs £200 to £500 for a single body area, and you pay per area, per course. Flagship home devices using the same light-based method sell for £585. Clarty is £129.99, once.

Honest delivery, in plain terms

Clarty ships from our overseas warehouse. That is one of the reasons the price is £129.99 and not £585. Dispatch takes 1 to 3 working days and delivery 5 to 10 working days across Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). The price you see is the price you pay, with no import charges on arrival. If it is not for you, you have 14 days from delivery to return it.

Questions, answered straight

Does it hurt?

Most people describe the flash as a warm snap against the skin, not a sting. Start on level 1 and move up only when you are comfortable. Five levels and the skin-tone sensor keep the setting in your hands.

How often should I use it, and how long is a course?

Treat IPL as a repeated course rather than a one-off session. The correct interval and total course length are set out in the schedule in the supplied user guide; follow that schedule rather than adding extra sessions. Hair grows in cycles, so repeated sessions can coincide with different hairs as they enter the active growth phase.

Which body areas is it intended for?

The product listing names legs as a larger area and face, underarms and bikini line as edge areas. For the face or anywhere close to the eyes, use the handset only where and as the supplied user guide permits. Always follow the safety guidance in the box and do not use it on an area the guide excludes.

How do I clean and maintain the handset?

Use only the cleaning method, materials and timing stated in the supplied user guide, paying particular attention to its instructions for the flash window. If anything in the guidance is unclear, contact Clarty before cleaning or using the handset again. There is no battery to maintain and no cartridges or refills to replace.

What is in the box?

The Clarty handset, a UK three-pin power supply and the user guide. It is mains powered at 22W through the adapter, so there is no battery to charge or replace. The device takes DC 12V and has a net weight of 160.8g.

How long does the lamp last?

There are no cartridges or refills to buy.

How do delivery, returns and refunds work?

Delivery is free across Great Britain on orders over £75, which includes the handset. We dispatch within 1 to 3 working days and delivery takes 5 to 10 working days. The standard change-of-mind window is 14 days after delivery. If the paid Extended 60-Day Returns product is bought in the same order as the handset, that window runs to day 60. Return the handset complete with its accessories; the refund is processed within 48 hours of it reaching us. The extension covers change of mind and does not replace your statutory rights for faulty goods.

How is Clarty different from a salon course or another home IPL device?

A salon course means paying per body area and attending booked appointments. Clarty is a one-off handset you own and use at home on your schedule. Against another home IPL device, compare the purchase price and practical controls: Clarty has five intensity levels, auto and manual modes, a skin-tone sensor and mains power. This comparison is about price, convenience and ownership only.
