IPL Hair Removal

Singapore Aesthetic Centre offers IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Hair Removal, a clinically proven method for achieving long-term reduction in unwanted hair across the face and body. Using broad-spectrum light pulses, the treatment targets the melanin in hair follicles, heating and damaging the follicle to inhibit future hair growth. Because IPL only affects follicles in their active growth phase, a series of sessions is required to treat all follicles…

Each session typically takes between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Smaller areas such as the upper lip or underarms are completed quickly, while larger zones like the legs or back require longer treatment times. A topical numbing cream is applied 30 to 60 minutes before the procedure to ensure patient comfort, and protective goggles are provided throughout the session.

Post-treatment, some patients may experience mild redness or temporary skin reactions, which typically resolve within 24 hours. The clinic recommends avoiding sun exposure and tanning for one week before and after each session to minimise the risk of adverse reactions and ensure optimal results. Skin type, hair colour, and the treatment area all influence individual outcomes, and the treating doctor will tailor the approach accordingly.
