Hair Removal treatment singapore

Hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that can be done to remove unwanted hair in various parts of your body such as legs , face, underarms, back, chest, and pubic area. It is a cost-effective and time-saving method of hair removal compared to repeated shaving, tweezing, and/or waxing.

Hair removal procedures are safe and effective with no serious side effects besides slight discomfort or redness. These will typically subside after a few hours or few days (for more sensitive skin).

How does hair removal work?

There are different types of hair removal methods, these are:

• Laser: light energy is converted to heat which damages the hair follicles in order to inhibit or delay future hair growth.
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): applies gentle pulses of light to the root of your hair to make it go into its resting phase, allowing the hair to fall out naturally. Overtime, the targeted area will grow less hair.
• Electrolysis: this works by insertion of a thin wire into the hair follicle under the surface of your skin. An electric current moves down the wire to destroy the hair root and prevent future hair growth.

At Regen Clinic, our laser hair removal is done with the Lumenis M22™ (link to service page). It is a minimally-invasive option for hair removal. Lumenis M22™ is a modular multi-application platform designed with 9 expert filters that is tailored to treat over 30 skin conditions.

Its Multi-Sequential Pulsing works to reduce any discomfort patients may experience during the procedure, by cooling and protecting the skin in between each pulse. This also reduces the amount of damage done to the surrounding tissue of the targeted area.

The results of laser hair removal varies between individuals depending on the treatment area, colour and thickness of your hair, and the colour of your skin.

Typically, individuals with a contrast of light skin and dark hair experience the best results because darker pigments absorb the laser more efficiently. This will then prevent the skin from absorbing the laser. Individuals with grey, red, blond, or white hair or individuals with darker skin tones may experience less effective results and will need to go for repeated sessions.

Although the results of laser hair removal is different for everyone, the expected results include:

• Slower hair growth
• Decreased hair growth over time
• Hair fall 1 to 3 weeks post-treatment
• Thinner or less noticeable future hair growth

To get the best results, avoid the following: 

• Smoking: smoking reduces blood flow to the skin and other areas of your body, thus increasing the chances of tissue damage and hinders healing and recovery.
• Medication: medications such as aspirins, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. act as blood thinners, making you more prone to bleeding during and after the procedure. 

Our doctor will consult you on any of these concerns prior to the procedure and provide you with aftercare instructions to minimise any discomfort you may experience.
