IPL Hair Removal

Finally I decided to go for permanent hair removal after some research at cozycot forum.

Bing and I signed up yesterday. It was a very last min event that we decide to try. I called about lunch time yesterday and I called for an appointment. We make an appointment at 7pm because there is customer in front of us.

Bing and I wear casually so felt a bit out of place since Raffles Place is filled with office lady. I came down from my site so I was like wearing my safety boots.

Then our consultant, Nikki, gave us a form to fill in with some question on out health and life style. After the form feeling, a nice hot tea is serve. The tea is very nice.

Then she gave us a consultation talk as to what to expect later for the skin check and let us know hair growth cycle, hair structure, pre-treatment instructions and the hair-removing process. I am really a noob. She further informed me that I might need more time to see results due to my irregular mense and my exposure to sun.

Then I was sent to a room. Initially was a bit worry and embarrassed to let other see my armpit since I never exposed my armpit after hair start growing. (It was then I stop going swimming and wear sleeveless). Then the therapist asked me to change into their clothing (Towel wrap) Then asked to to lie down on the bed.

Then asked about my feeling and assure me that it is not that scary and painful. She try 2 pluses of light on me. First try no pain and feeling at all. Second try not pain but have some small feeling like rubber band shooting on your arm pit from a distance. I do not have any red red so I am alright to do the IPL.

Then she asked if I want to continue or not. Wear goggle to protect my eyes.Then she shave my hair, apply cooling gel. Then ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP....

Then Tatada~~~ The next side... Then asked me to press a cooling pad under my arms. Then apply the cooling lotion again...

I was surprise then it is so fast. From consultation to the IPL treatment take about 1 hour only.

The whole process not painful as all. Just at times I will frighten myself at times because even covering the eyes I can still see the flash light.

I will update after 6 - 8 weeks later after the next treatment. I do not experience and red or pain or any itchy.
