Clarty IPL Hair Removal Handset
A salon IPL course typically costs £200 to £500 per body area. Clarty is a one-off handset you can use at home.
Optional extras
Change-of-mind window extended from 14 to 60 days after delivery. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
More time to decide. This extends your change-of-mind returns window from 14 days to 60 days — if the Clarty handset isn't for you, you have until day 60 after delivery to send it back for a refund.
What you already have without buying this: every UK customer has a 14-day change-of-mind returns right and a 30-day right to a full refund if the goods are faulty. Those statutory rights apply in full whether or not you buy this extension. This product only extends the change-of-mind window — it is not fault or breakdown cover. Faulty items are always handled free of charge under your statutory rights.
Add-on: valid when purchased in the same order as a Clarty handset.
Packed and handed to the carrier within 1 working day instead of the standard 1 to 3. Speeds up dispatch, not delivery.
Jump the packing queue. Orders with Priority Dispatch go to the front of the queue and are packed and handed to the carrier within 1 working day, instead of the standard 1–3 working days.
Good to know: this speeds up dispatch, not the delivery itself — how fast the parcel travels is set by the delivery option you choose at checkout. And parcels lost or damaged in transit are always replaced free of charge for every customer; that is our responsibility by law and is not something this add-on covers.

Buying for two?
You have 14 days to change your mind. Once your return reaches us, we process the refund within 48 hours. If your parcel is lost or damaged in transit, we replace it straight away.
You get the Clarty IPL handset, safety glasses, a skin scraper, a UK power adapter and an English user manual. The handset weighs 161g and uses 22W mains power.
Read the supplied user manual before first use. Start on level 1 and move up only when you are comfortable. Use auto-flash for larger areas and manual mode for edges and smaller areas. Follow the schedule in the user manual.
The manual's chart, in words: on fair to light skin (its first three tones) use levels 3 to 5; on medium brown skin, levels 1 and 2 only; on dark brown and black skin it isn't suitable and the sensor won't fire. Hair on the chart: black, dark brown, brown, and dark blonde or light brown. Not on it: blonde, red, grey and white, because the light needs pigment in the hair to work on. Not over tattoos. The built-in sensor checks your skin before every flash. If it won't flash on you, that's a 14-day return.
IPL works gradually. Hair that is treated regularly tends to grow back slower and finer over several weeks, and it needs keeping up. Results vary with hair colour and skin tone, and dark hair on lighter skin responds best. The flash itself feels like a warm snap rather than a sting, and you set the level.
Delivery is free across Great Britain. We dispatch in 1 to 3 working days and delivery takes 5 to 10 working days. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind. If the sensor won't flash on your skin, that's a 14-day return. Tell us within 14 days of delivery and send it back, no questions asked. Once it reaches us, we'll process your refund within 48 hours.
A warm handset and a warm plug after a full leg are normal. If it gets too hot it stops flashing by itself and the fan keeps running. Leave it plugged in, give it 15 minutes, then carry on. That's the overheat protection, not a fault. 12-month Clarty warranty. If it stops flashing, send us a short video of it and we send a replacement, no repair wait.
Real people, real handsets, unedited.
Was dead skeptical at £120 when Braun charges near £300+, but this has genuinely surprised me. Underarms and lower legs were my problem areas. Started seeing bald patches around week 4, and by week 7 I'm only having to shave once every couple of weeks instead of every two days. Auto-glide mode makes doing legs dead quick while watching TV. Doesn't sting, just feels like a warm little tap.
Noticeable thinning on my bikini line and shins after about a month of weekly sessions. Taking one star off solely because the power cord is on the shorter side, so you have to sit fairly close to the wall socket or use an extension lead. Aside from that small niggle, the unit itself is brilliant and saves a fortune compared to clinic visits.
Used to get awful strawberry legs and ingrowns no matter how fresh my razor was. Level 3 is my sweet spot. Two months in, hair is coming back much finer and slower, and my skin isn't angry anymore. Lightweight, easy to grip, and doesn't overheat even after doing both legs back to back. Worth every penny.
Giving 2 stars purely out of frustration with myself and my own expectations. The handset is well-built, safe, and doesn't hurt, but you genuinely have to commit to doing it weekly for 6 to 8 weeks before things start slowing down. My flatmate borrowed it and her legs are practically smooth now, but I simply don't have the discipline to sit down once a week without forgetting. If you have the routine down it clearly works, but if you want instant zero-effort results, stick to waxing.
Paid £60 a pop for professional sessions last year before I gave up because of the cost. Took a gamble on this and it produces the exact same reduction over time. The sensor is reassuring because it won't flash unless it has full contact with your skin. Delighted with it so far.
The first 3 weeks felt like nothing was happening and I was close to packing it back into the box. Stuck with it into the second month and the hair on my calves is definitely much patchier and softer now. Don't buy this expecting an overnight miracle, but if you treat it like a weekly routine, it does pay off.
Threw my epilator in the bin after the second session with this. IPL is practically painless in comparison, just a quick snap of warmth. Did a patch test first on Level 1, then moved up to Level 4 for legs. The safety glasses included are handy. Really neat little device.
The handset itself deserves 5 stars, easy to toggle between manual for smaller areas and auto-glide for legs. Dropping one star only because delivery took around 8 working days, which felt a bit slow. But the product is legit, packaged securely, and my underarm regrowth has slowed down massively.
Fair skin with thick dark hair here, so textbook ideal candidate for IPL. Already seeing bald spots around week 5. Having no battery to recharge is actually a bonus because you never lose power halfway through a session. Super straightforward to use right out of the box.
Does take a few tries to get used to the angle around trickier spots like knees and ankles, but once you get the hang of it, a full session takes about 15 minutes. Hair is growing back at a fraction of the speed it used to. Very satisfied for the price point.
The handset has 5 intensity levels, a built-in skin-tone sensor, auto and manual modes, and 22W mains power through a UK three-pin adapter. The box also contains safety glasses, a skin scraper and an English user manual. The single-handset offer includes 2 aloe gels.
Clarty runs from a UK 3-pin adapter, 22 W. There's no battery to die in a drawer between sessions.
12-month Clarty warranty. If it stops flashing, send us a short video of it and we send a replacement, no repair wait.
The supplier lists the lamp at 100,000 flashes. The flash window is 3.15 cm² and the manual asks for 3 passes per session. Lower legs, underarms and bikini line come to about 1,500 cm², so a session is about 1,430 flashes. The 8-week plan is 14 sessions, about 20,000 flashes, leaving about 80,000 for monthly top-ups: roughly 56 of them, or about 5 years. Full legs and arms every session use the lamp about 4 times faster, so budget about a year of heavy use. No handset lamp lasts for ever; ours is mains-powered so there is no battery to fail first.
IPL sends brief pulses of broad-spectrum light towards pigment in the hair. The built-in skin-tone sensor works alongside 5 intensity levels. Auto-flash is there for larger areas, while manual mode gives you control around edges and smaller areas. The handset stays plugged into mains power, so there is no battery to charge.
Week 2 usually looks like nothing has happened. That's normal. Keep to 2 sessions a week, same areas, same order, and don't add new areas yet. The 8-week plan page ticks off each session, so keep going even when you can't see a change.
IPL uses broad-spectrum light that is absorbed by pigment in the hair. Published work has studied home-use IPL devices, and separate guidance covers the safe use of light-based home hair-removal devices. The cited results are for the devices studied, not Clarty. Follow the supplied user manual.
Clarty was started by Jane, a beautician from Surrey, after years of paying a salon £200 to £500 a course. She tried the handsets on herself first and kept the one that felt like a warm snap rather than a sting. That is the one in the box.
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.
IPL directs light at the pigment in the hair, so the contrast between hair colour and skin tone matters. It is generally better suited to darker hair. The handset has a built-in skin-tone sensor, and the user guide includes a shade chart to check before first use. If it turns out not to suit you, you have 14 days to return it.
The box holds the Clarty IPL handset, safety glasses, skin scraper, UK power adapter and English user manual. It runs on mains power (100-240V), so there is no battery to charge or replace. The handset weighs 161g.

The 8-week plan: 2 sessions a week for 6 weeks, then 1 a week for weeks 7 and 8. After that, a top-up when it regrows.
