Why I opted for Laser Hair Removal

There are a lot of ways to remove unwanted body hair. There’s waxing, plucking, shaving, IPL and laser. And I have tried all of them.

On my underarms, I plucked since the first time I had hair growing there. And then I got lazy and changed to shaving. Cos we all know how quick shaving is compared to plucking!

Sometimes I get cross eyed from plucking!! URGH.

So anyway, with all that plucking and shaving that persisted on for many years, it brought along with it, REDNESS, PIMPLES, ITCHING and the growth of a BIG LUMP – all symptoms of a condition called Folliculitis, something I found out only recently.

When I had that lump, I ignored it for awhile and thank goodness it went away. I just found out that people actually had to go to a doctor and have a small incision done to remove the lump. OMG.

It came to a time when enough was enough and I searched for permanent hair removal solutions. It brought me to IPL. I did IPL for 2 whole years, going back to the clinic once a month every month. I did it when IPL was first introduced to the market and it costed quite a fair bit. I think I spent S$2,000 on removing hair for my armpit area. More than just the money I spent, but also the time, and effort that went into travelling back and forth for my appointments.

Well, at least the hair on my underarms has stopped growing and all the ingrown hair, pus, pimples, and itching has disappered too.

Now that I am older, I am looking to remove hair in the brazilian area as well and have also tried waxing (OUCH!), IPL (OUCH!), plucking (OUCH!) and laser (quite OUCH too though less than the others)!

I discovered Light Sheer Duet permanent hair removal a couple of months ago and I found myself back at the clinic today to get my second treatment. Only because it worked SO DAMN WELL that I had patches of hair growing out more than others – which means one single treatment really worked wonders!

The Light Sheer Duet device which will suck, apply heat and dispense laser all within 1 second.

Yes, for beauty, a little pain means nothing. Especially if I could sit through waxing and IPL, this is nothing. You may say it’s painful but when the hair starts falling off and you see less of it growing out, you will find yourself going back again.

Here are 3 reasons why I chose Laser over everything else:

♥ TIME SAVER

Only 4 to 6 sessions are required for permanent hair removal! And each session only takes 20 seconds! (I timed my last one and it was 21 seconds!)

♥ EFFECTIVE FROM THE VERY FIRST SESSION

I wasn’t expecting much from my first session, as most IPL that I have done with my pubic area did not show noticeable effects till much much later. However for Light Sheet Duet, oh mm gee, it was excellent. 4 weeks after the 1st session, I had patches of hair growing out randomly. Some areas a lot less than others. Wow.

I’m big on before and after photos but since this was done on the brazilian area, the following diagram will have to suffice. :)

♥ COST EFFECTIVE

People pay $1,200 for 8 sessions of waxing at popular waxing salons, that’s S$150 per session! And the hair removal is absolutely not permanent. You can get your underarms or brazilian area’s hair permanently removed for about S$392 per session within only just 6 sessions with Light Sheer Duet.

Compared to IPL, which requires more sessions (and is cheaper per session), I definitely prefer getting it all off asap and with as little effort as possible, the Light Sheer Duet way.

Well, don’t take my word for it. There’s a special first time trial price of S150 if you’re interested to try out!

Each treatment costs S$680. The doctor estimates about 4-6 treatments for permanent hair removal. That’s not a lot compared to IPL treatments and waxing.

My readers get a special deal! You can try this for $150 for the first time. Cos we all know paying $680 for each session without first trying is a little too risky.

Subsequently, if you think it’s good and want to continue, you can sign on a package of 5 more times for only $2,500 ($442 per session).

BUT! If you sign up for a package of 5 more session within 30 days of your first treatment, your first treatment charge will be waived and you only need to top up $2,350 for the other 5 treatments (abt $392 per session).

That’s a really good deal, especially when you are like me, did your first treatment and saw the results for yourself. PM me on Facebook for more details! :)
