KIOR uses intense pulsed light technology (IPL) to zap hair and reduce ingrown hair. IPL uses a broad spectrum of light with multiple wavelengths to impair hair follicles that produce hair. The result is continuously smooth skin.
The science behind IPL hair removal
IPL uses a broad spectrum of light with multiple wavelengths that work on areas around your hair and skin. The light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat energy, which weakens the hair follicles that produce hairs.
A laser hair removal machine uses high heat to target individual hairs. But both devices prevent hair follicles from working, so new hair grows back slowly.
Laser hair removal is said to be 'permanent' if it completely destroys hair follicles. In this case, hair may not grow back for years. If hair grows back, it tends to be finer and lighter in density.
IPL devices can offer permanent results. If your hair tends to regrow quickly, you can still go a full year without using IPL again. Most individuals can wait three to five years before needing to remove their regrown hair. And depending on whether you have lighter or finer hair, and other genetic factors, you may be looking at permanent hair removal.
What makes KIOR IPL hair removal better than the rest?
Here's why our hair removal device outperforms others on the market.
Doesn't damage skin like cheap at-home IPL devices
Among the many reasons for the popularity of laser hair removal is how gentle it is on sensitive skin. But not all IPL hair removal devices are alike. Cheap knock-offs can cause discomfort and pain. KIOR does not pose these side-effects. If you've held back on removing your chest hair or keeping it less hairy down there, it's time to groom without any fears or tears.
Is also gentle on sensitive areas of your body
Some IPL devices may be quite aggressive on thin or sensitive skin. KIOR is designed to gently remove hair from sensitive skin and delicate areas of your body (except the eye and forehead area). The zaps are painless and with each zap, more of your hair follicles are rendered weak.
Works equally well on all hair and skin types
You may have heard that the best candidates for hair removal are people with pale skin and dark hair. Lasers do a better job of targeting melanin when there is a clear contrast between light skin and dark hair. This is why many removal machines can only claim to target lighter hairs, and work well for individuals with darker skin tones or who tend to tan easily.
In contrast, KIOR suits all skin tones and hair types. Whether you have dense or fine hair, or you're Brown, Black or White, the IPL device does not distinguish and zaps hair consistently.
Can help get rid of unwanted hair forever
IPL hair removal machines promise longer-lasting results, but KIOR goes a step further by helping you get rid of unwanted hair permanently, based on your hair growth cycle. It uses a wavelength of 650 nm, which is longer than most at-home laser hair removal devices on the market. But it isn't too high to act aggressively on hair follicles. As a result, it effectively targets hair in smaller and larger areas of your body without hurting your skin.
If your hair tends to grow back quickly - regardless of the method used - then KIOR comes in handy as and when you need to remove a few pesky hairs. We recommend using higher intensity levels for longer-lasting results.
You will be saving a lot of time too. You don't have to wait until you're booked in by a laser hair removal salon.
Thoughtful design
Budget IPL hair removal machines have inferior quality parts. A component may break off during the first use. Or they may not have multiple intensity levels. So, even if you buy cheap, you may not get results or your purchase can go to waste.
KIOR uses quality parts and has a rejuvenating effect on the skin at the same time it is zapping hairs. It is backed by a 1-year global warranty.
An IPL device designed for home use should be intuitive and user-friendly. It should have an ergonomic design, a long enough power cord to allow you to assume any position comfortably, and a good battery life. KIOR has all these features, making it a top value product.
Works for him/her/every gender pronoun
Today, men have the same grooming rights and desires as women. Yet, you'll find at-home IPL devices geared only towards women. KIOR works equally well regardless of how you identify yourself.
There is no difference in hair structure between men and women. But men can experience faster hair growth due to the stimulating effect of testosterone. Fine hairs can become thicker during puberty in men. Males also have small amounts of coarse hair on different parts of their body. KIOR has been tried on different hair types across genders and provides uniformly effective results for each.
Excellent value for money
When you invest in our at-home IPL device, you put more money back into your pocket. A common hair laser removal costs about $259 per session, and you'll need about 4-6 sessions. For a full body hair removal, the price can go as high as $5,000 or even more.
Meanwhile, KIOR is a one-time purchase offering the possibility of permanent results. You can use it to achieve the same results as you would at a professional laser hair removal center minus the high cost.
How does it feel to use KIOR IPL hair removal device? The treated areas will feel a bit warm, but that's about it. Your skin may be a bit red afterward but the redness will go away in a few hours.
5 reasons to consider Kior IPL hair removal
1. You don't have to shave every day! This can mean different things to different men. For one, you will be saving time. For another, you don't have to worry about looking unkempt before clients and higher-ups. If you travel very often for business or work, KIOR hair removal removes the hassle of shaving at the airport restroom or hotel before meetings.
2. You can prevent ingrown hairs, which is great if you have sensitive skin that experiences irritation from waxing or shaving.
3. As hair regrowth is minimal or slow, you can go several weeks or months between hair removal sessions. The best part? You don't have to wait for your hair to grow for IPL hair removal to be effective! Zap away and keep your skin looking continually smooth.
4. KIOR is a straightforward, fuss-free hair removal treatment for men. It doesn't take as much time as other at-home methods. You can go through an IPL armpit or pubic hair removal in under 30 minutes.
5. As you continue with treatments, you will notice that your hair grows back very slowly or becomes less dense and is therefore less easy to see. Depending on your hair growth cycle, you may even be able to reduce re-growth permanently.
What is the story behind KIOR?
KIOR is the brainchild of product engineer Roe Kinko who designed the device after an incident involving her daughter. Roe's daughter was teased and called 'gorilla girl' by her classmates for her hairy legs. Her daughter has sensitive skin, making waxing painful. Rather than let her endure cruel comments or cover up her hands and legs in the sweltering heat, Roe set about ideating an alternative hair removal solution.
Her daughter's experience also got Roe thinking about the challenges people generally face when it comes to achieving a smooth, hairless body. Skin tone, hair texture and skin sensitivity are not accounted for by most laser machines and at-home IPL machines. Roe wanted to address unmet needs and tapped into her tech experience to design KIOR.
KIOR laser hair removal machine helps all genders groom effectively, affordably and safely within the comfort of their homes. The male grooming products industry is worth USD 55 billion and expected to double by 2031. If you, like many of your peers, are interested in taking good care of your skin and hair, KIOR is a cost-effective and convenient solution.
