Ulike Brings "Future Beauty, Powered by Light" to Boston, Challenging the Conventional Beauty Trade-Off Between Efficacy and Comfort

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. Ardem Patapoutian, Harvard Associate Professor Dr. Anna Mandinova, actress, wellness advocate, and entrepreneur Sasha Pieterse, and PCOSAA CEO Megan Stewart joined Ulike to redefine the standard of beauty.

BOSTON, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ulike, a global beauty technology company, brought together leading voices in science, dermatology, beauty, wellness, and entertainment for "Future Beauty, Powered by Light," an invitation-only event at the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center in Boston exploring how next-generation light-based technology is challenging conventional expectations around Ulike hair removal and at-home beauty. Built around the philosophy "Be Gentle to Your Skin. Redefine the Standard of Beauty with Ulike," the event brought together medical experts, industry leaders, media and creators for a conversation about the future of effective, comfortable and skin-conscious beauty technology.

For years, consumers have been led to believe that more powerful beauty treatments must come with greater discomfort. Ulike is challenging that assumption by combining effective IPL technology with innovations designed to make Ulike hair removal more comfortable and skin-conscious.

"At Ulike, we believe beauty should be a source of confidence and self-expression, not a measure of how closely we conform to someone else's expectations," said Doro Zheng, CEO of Ulike North America. "That belief shapes how we innovate: we're focused on creating technology that delivers results while making the experience gentler on the skin."

At the center of the conversation was Ulike's proprietary Sapphire Cooling Technology, which helps keep the treatment window cool while delivering powerful light energy. The Ulike Air 10 brings this technology together with advanced IPL for a more comfortable at-home experience, offering a skin-conscious alternative to traditional laser hair removal.

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. Ardem Patapoutian explored how the body senses temperature, touch and pain, while Dr. Anna Mandinova, a Harvard Associate Professor and dermatologist, delivered a keynote titled "Be Gentle to Your Skin: The Science of Resilience," exploring the science behind healthy skin and the importance of a thoughtful, skin-conscious approach to beauty and personal care.

The event also explored beauty, confidence and self-care. Actress, Wellness Advocate, and Entrepreneur Sasha Pieterse shared her perspective on self-expression and how beauty routines can become a form of personal care rather than self-correction. Moderated by beauty industry veteran and Fat Mascara co-founder Jessica Matlin, the panel, "Redefining Beauty: The Future of Gentle, Personalized Self-Care," examined how technology can give people greater freedom to define beauty on their own terms. PCOSAA CEO Megan Stewart added a women's health perspective, emphasizing the importance of accessible, comfortable, and inclusive beauty innovation.

"We don't want to tell women what beauty should look like. We want to give women the freedom to define beauty for themselves," said Zheng. "This is what we believe the future of beauty should look like: more effective, more gentle, more human."
