Case Study: Unilever brings clinical skin care into the home with EPAM Systems

Unilever - Customer Case Study

EPAM Systems' customer Unilever, through its iluminage brand, faced the challenge of making professional anti-aging laser treatments accessible for convenient, at-home use. The goal was to move these effective but expensive and inconvenient clinical procedures out of the doctor's office and into the hands of consumers, creating a device women could use safely and effectively on their own to treat wrinkles.

The solution implemented by EPAM Systems was the design and engineering of the FDA-approved iluminage Skin Smoothing Laser. This involved miniaturizing existing laser technology into a handheld, user-friendly device and incorporating connectivity to help users track progress. The result was the world's first connected beauty device, which established a new market category. It received significant media attention upon launch and is sold through prestigious retailers like Sephora and Nordstrom.
