Ulike’s 10th Anniversary Collaboration with PCOS Community
NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Marking its 10th anniversary, Ulike, a well-established name in at-home hair removal technology, is proud to strengthen its collaboration with the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) community. Seeking to demonstrate the effectiveness of its products in tackling unwanted hair growth linked to the syndrome, Ulike has engaged the expertise of revered board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Davin Lim. Dr. Lim wholeheartedly advocates for Ulike’s Air 3 IPL hair removal device, as the preferred choice for PCOS patients.
Hirsutism, or excessive hair growth, is a key symptom of PCOS. Primarily affecting women, it leads to the emergence of coarse dark hair on typically male-associated body parts like the face, chest, back, and abdomen. “This excessive hair growth is caused by an underlying hormonal imbalance, particularly in the case of androgens, which are basically male sex hormones. Conditions like PCOS and certain adrenal gland disorders are the most common causes,” explains Dr. Lim.
In his latest endorsement, Dr. Lim explains why the Ulike Air 3 IPL device offers a definitive solution. “The devices from Ulike are a game changer in the hair removal space because they use advanced light technology to safely and effectively remove hair right from the root,” Dr. Lim says. “Unlike traditional in-clinic treatments, IPL carries no risk of skin irritation or discoloration.
Ulike’s Air 3 IPL device offers specialized benefits for the PCOS community:
Getting to the Root of Hair Growth: The device’s advanced light technology targets and removes hair from the root of the hair follicle, promoting lasting results.
Groundbreaking Sapphire Ice-Cooling Technology: A first in the industry, Ulike’s patented sapphire ice-cooling technology makes for a painless experience, suitable even for sensitive skin areas, like the face, belly or chest.
Full-Body Usage: This cutting-edge device is designed for comprehensive use, effectively reducing hair growth from head to toe.
“The sapphire ice cooling system is the first in the industry to revolutionize at home treatments,” States Dr. Lim, further elaborating on the unique benefits of Ulike’s Air 3. “Thanks to (this technology) that Ulike has developed, instead of pain you’ll only feel a cool sensation similar to a cold drink touching your skin.”
Dr. Lim also strongly endorses Ulike’s Air 3 for its cost-effectiveness in managing PCOS-related hirsutism. “With PCOS there is a hormonal drive for hair growth—in most cases, maintenance therapy is advocated. (This is why) Ulike’s Air 3 just makes sense. This will save you time, effort, and most importantly money over a period of time,” Dr. Lim adds.
In celebration of their 10-year anniversary, Ulike is deeply committed to enhancing the well-being and confidence of the PCOS community. With the expert endorsement of Dr. Davin Lim, the company is set to redefine the boundaries of at-home hair removal solutions.
Ulike is a respected name in the at-home hair removal sector, offering innovative IPL devices. Over the past decade, Ulike has established a reputation for its commitment to user-centric innovation and technological advancements. The company is driven to empower individuals by providing effective and convenient beauty solutions. With a strong focus on enhancing self-confidence, Ulike has proudly served over 4 million customers worldwide.

The Gartner guide recognizes 25 loyalty program vendors of different categories, placing ebbo in the loyalty management service provides group — which Gartner describes as being the best choice for brands that need a turnkey solution.
Gartner listed several components that loyalty management platforms are typically comprised of, including management and analysis of data, the engine that manages rewards accrual and redemption and professional services beyond the platform, like campaign development, creative services and analytics.
ebbo offers all the services needed to build and manage successful loyalty programs, including strategy, creative, reporting, analytics and program marketing, along with program enhancement, technology and support through a dedicated client services team.
To help marketers better plan strategically, the guide also assumes that within the next few years, loyalty programs offering both transactional and experiential benefits will outperform programs that are solely based on points.
Gartner also recommends that marketers tasked with choosing loyalty marketing solutions to acquire more customers and grow their customer bases should focus on connecting their brands and customers rather than on customers and rewards across the entire customer journey.
Like recent ebbo loyalty program data, Gartner found that while consumers belong to many loyalty programs, there is room for brands to improve engagement in those programs. And brands that prioritize the top customer segments by differentiating their program benefits from that of the competition will come out on top.
“We’re proud to be recognized in Gartner’s Market Guide for Loyalty Program Vendors because it not only highlights the turnkey platform we offer, but highlights, in our opinion, the support services that loyalty marketers need for ongoing success,” said Tyler Haskins, EVP Marketing at ebbo.

Like nutrition and physical activity, sleep health is a uniquely powerful target for interventions that improve overall health, yet most countries do not include sleep health in their public health agendas.
“There is strong evidence that sleep is essential for physical and mental health, as well as well-being, across the entire lifespan. Disruption of sleep and circadian rhythms significantly increases the risk for dementia, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Now is the time to integrate sleep and circadian health programs to promote the health span worldwide. No public health agenda is sufficient without the inclusion of sleep,” says Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, chair of the WSS Global Sleep Health Task Force and president of World Sleep Society.
The Costs of Inaction
The costs of inaction are clear: avoidable burdens on health systems and continued exacerbation of global health inequities. “Our viewpoint describes in brief the wide-ranging consequences of poor sleep health for individuals, communities and governments worldwide. We are already bearing these burdens. We need action in these three areas – awareness, research and public policy – to lighten those burdens and improve lives,” says Diane C. Lim, MD, and Arezu Najafi, MD, lead co-authors of the article.
Standardize Data Collection
For its own part, the international research community must standardize data collection on global sleep health. “Researchers across many disciplines such as occupational health and urban planning who are interested in leveraging the science of sleep and circadian health to ultimately improve population health both locally and internationally must work together to collect – in a standardized fashion – the multi-dimensional sleep and circadian data that decision-makers need,” says Chandra Jackson, Ph.D., Senior Investigator at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health, and co-senior author of the viewpoint with Dr. Zee.
