LASER Hair Removal (DavidLoh Aesthetics)

When I was contacted to be told I was being sponsored a free session of Laser Hair Removal at DavidLoh’s Aesthetic Clinic, I was a little bit apprehensive.

What if it hurts??
What if it scars??
What if it doesnt turn out right??

But all my doubts were eliminated, by Dr.DavidLoh, of DavidLoh Aesthetic Clinic.
Dr.David Loh is the official Allergan appointed trainer for all new doctors in Singapore since 2006. He has trained more than 100 doctors in Singapore and the region on the finer techniques in BOTOX and filler injections.
He patiently sat me through the procedure and explained to me the difference between IPL and LASER HAIR REMOVAL.

It may sound the same but its TWO totally different processes.
IPL is a more common hair removal process and has been around for a while now but did you know, IPL is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DARKER SKINS??
This is because with IPL, certain frequencies can destroy dark skin regions, and may cause irregularity in the skin colour.

But with LASER HAIR REMOVAL, it is very much suitable for ANY skintone, including darker tones! :)
The process that was done for me, was the COOLGLIDE LaserHairRemoval.

HOW DOES IT WORK??
Light from the laser light that falls onto the hair bulb (the bottom most part the hair follicle) is of a strong enough intensity. This pulse of light must also be of a short enough duration that it spares the surrounding tissues.The hair bulb is destroyed and some stem cells along the hair shaft survives and later produces small tufts of fine hairs again, although at a much slower rate

I had an unsightly and very stubborn hair on the side of my cheeks.

A very cooling gel is applied to the area and the process begins almost immediately!

I would rate the pain as 2/10 !
It was almost painless!

HOW DO YOU FEEL AFTER THE PROCESS:
I kept looking at my face, every chance I could! My skin looked alot more cleaner. Of course there was some redness and bumps, but that went away after a few hours.

DO YOU SEE IMMEDIATE RESULTS:
Well once the first process is done, you get a 50% LESSER HAIR GROWTH. But one visit is never enough! :) If you want to see proper results its ALWAYS RECOMMENDED to go 3-4 times! (depending on hair and area of concern)
After your 2nd or third visit, you see up to 80% LESSER HAIR GROWTH!

So if you hate the pain of having to go threading very regularly then maybe LASER HAIR REMOVAL is the solution for you! :)

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST:
Well as mentioned, this was sponsored so I didnt pay anything but it is valued at $250. For more details, you can call up the clinic and enquire.

Stay tuned  to find out how!**

Thank you Dr.Loh!

    Hey Sarah, I spent $140 a month removing hair at various part of my body, threading and waxing. Ive heard stories about permanent scars using IPL.. my facial lady who isn’t certified has the machine.. but i’m quite apprehensive.. If i do think of it, I’d like to be entrusted in good hands and probably a certified personnel…. so yeah fill us in! Thanks Babe!

    For chest hair removal, waxing is definitely not a good option. Believe me its very painful. I tried it once, but after a single patch I left it there and shaved off the remaining hair. Instead try out electrolysis or laser hair removal. For further reading, visit Chest Hair Removal
