Overview:
After testing three different products and their accompanying apps, I wholeheartedly recommend SALLOOT (CTONE). This app truly enhances the device's functionality, particularly with its auto mode, which tracks the number of flashes and generates reports automatically. This intelligent feature, along with the app’s customization options that suggest settings and treatment times based on specific body areas, eliminates the hassle of manual record-keeping.

However, the CTONE app could improve its hair removal FAQs and guidance. In this regard, the Lumea IPL (PHILIPS) app excels with detailed articles, images, and videos, though it lacks the seamless device integration of CTONE.

There are many home hair removal devices on the market, and brands often develop apps to enhance their effectiveness. For instance, the Braun IPL, Hair Removal-Silk’n, Lumea IPL (PHILIPS), and today’s star, the SALLOOT Trinity iGlow 10 with its AI-tracking smart app, CTONE.

But why do you need an app? Can it really boost the effectiveness of hair removal?
Answer: An app is crucial for home hair removal treatments!


● Customized Treatment Settings: Different body areas have unique hair characteristics and treatment needs. Manually adjusting settings is tedious and prone to errors. A smart app can automatically tailor treatment cycles and energy levels for optimal results on each area.
● Consistency and Reminders: Consistent use is key to effective hair removal, but many users forget or struggle to maintain a routine. A smart app provides regular reminders, helping users stick to their treatment schedule and significantly enhancing long-term results.

Lumea IPL (PHILIPS)

  • Apple Store Rating:4.9/5
  • Personalized Treatment Plans: The app creates customized treatment schedules for different body areas, ensuring proper care.

  • Guidance and Tips: Offers tips for correct and safe device use, beneficial for new IPL users.

Let the challenge begin!

To ensure fairness and consistency in comparing different apps, I used specific metrics and scored each one:
● Device-App Compatibility
● Customization and Reminder Functions
● Personalized Hair Removal Guidance
● Report Analysis
● FAQs and Guidance

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

Each metric performed well, especially the real-time tracking of device flashes in the app. CTONE creates efficient, personalized treatment plans, something other apps lack, and offers timely reminders. However, it needs more comprehensive hair removal FAQs and guidance.

9/10  Device-App Compatibility 

Every flash is recorded by the app, forming a report with level and flash count recommendations. In auto mode, the device flashes continuously without button pressing, with real-time app recording. This mode saves a lot of time, and I love it!

9/10  Customization and Reminder Functions

The app suggests settings and treatment plans for different body areas (see Fig. 1). Each session is analyzed for progress (see Fig. 2). SALLOOT’s treatment suggestions are more thoughtful than other apps, adapting weekly treatment frequencies based on the hair removal cycle. For example, weeks 1-2 have three sessions per week, reducing to two in week 4, and fewer as time goes on. Other apps maintain a fixed weekly schedule.

9/10  Personalized Hair Removal Guidance

There are two modes: Expert and Newbie.
* Newbie Mode: Recommends settings based on basic info (area, hair density, skin color) with tutorial guidance.
* Expert Mode: Allows manual setting adjustments, avoiding repetitive input of basic info.

8/10   Report Analysis

Reports can be tailored to different areas (see Fig. 1). Regular check-ins track hair growth progress (see Fig. 3). Each session’s report is displayed (see Fig. 2).
The downside is the lack of a hair density trend graph for a more visual representation of results.

6/10  FAQs and Guidance

The app allows contacting support for queries, with responses via email (see Fig. 1), which I appreciate. The FAQ summarizes common issues and device troubleshooting. However, more visual content (images and articles) would improve the FAQ section. Direct app replies from customer service would also be more convenient than email.

In conclusion:

After testing these three applications, I have gained new insights into the effectiveness of smart apps in home hair removal. I believe that a truly smart app should have the following features: providing customized plans based on individual hair information, offering reminders during the hair removal process, and giving corrective guidance after reviewing the results, thus achieving real hair reduction. Of course, providing corrective guidance after effect reviews is very challenging. Overall, I rate the SALLOOT (CTONE) app highly because it excels in personalized plans, guidance, and effect analysis. As mentioned above, I hope SALLOOT can include more daily hair removal FAQs and guidance. Let's look forward to further improvements in this app!
