wow great....where did you do it, and how much is the treatment? very interested to know about IPL

I did at an Aesthetic clinic in Singapore but I believe you can find a lot of the same clinics in M'sia

It costs me SGD100 per session. The good thing about mine is there is NO COURSE COMMITMENT REQUIRED!
So if you only need 1 session then you don't need to go down anymore for my doctor..hehe~!

My case, I need more treatments, but I did gather a lot of reviews, some people might only need 2 sessions and they are free of hair!

But if you really intend to do IPL treatment, you are not allowed to pluck or epilate anymore as it will worse the condition.
So normal shaver w/o cream which can be found in any watson/guardian will do.

Everytime you've done the treatment, do not exercise, shave, sweat too much and apply any cream or deodorant onto the skin, wait until 24 hours later

Thank for your info. But not to sweat within 24 hour is like impossible in M'sia.

Wahahhaaa.. I do sweat a bit while outing also ar..but just try not to sweat too much like how you sweat when on exercise ..

how about doing some wax ?

THank You

Pluck.
The hair will grow back at much slower rate and won't we as coarse like after shaving

TS, just to share this deal I came across today.
http://www.groupon.my/deals/klang-valley-k...318&a=715827975

I went for e-Light treatments as well and had immediate results after the first treatment. Also bought through Groupon type of deals. But the deal above is very much more cheaper, not sure how it works though and it seems need to finish 12 sessions within 3 months. Call the salon for more info if you're interested before buying. They will most likely ask you to top up a few hundred bucks to get better results and extend the validity period (at least that's what the saloon I went to did).

I started going once a month and after my 5th treatment, I go once in 1.5-2 months. My underarm hair used to be very thick and grows out very fast. If I shave, I have to shave everyday. So I epilate and I still need to epilate every 3-5 days. Now I can go to the beach for a week without bringing a shaver or my epilator and still come home without visible underarm hair. The hair grows thinner and growth is very very much slower after each session. From what I was told, it does have a whitening effect as well. I do see the results and is very happy that I tried out e-Light treatments.

Thanks for the info!!!
just want to know, how much was your treatment?
Because the price is quite cheap (RM198 for 12 sessions!!!), so need to be courteous

Thanks for sharing anyway

Honestly speaking, this deal is very very cheap. I bought mine about half a year ago. It was in some beauty salon in sunway area, I think around RM300 for 10 sessions large area (can choose from armpit, leg, bikini area, etc). I chooses armpit cause I seriously cannot tahan armpit hair keep growing out. The girl told me to top up another RM500 for extra e-Light hits per session to see better result and I did. And after around 2-3 sessions, I don't even remember when was the last time I shaved lol. But once you start the treatment, you cannot pluck anymore cause it seems that it'll grow back if we pluck.

this is great,never heard of it

refer to 1st quote

Hi, I always pluck my armpit hair. The most it can stand is around 4-5 days then it grow back. Does it mean plucking make it grow faster?

but if got one hair or two, also don't pluck? means have to depend on the treatment for life? or after treatment the hair would never grow

Don't think so. I used to pluck as well because I don't like to shave. Somehow scared of razors lol. Then bought an epilator but I'll only be hair-free for about 1-2 days then the hair will be visible (but can't epilate ) so can't wear sleeveless tops until I epilate in a few days time.

It's a treatment for permanent hair removal. What it does is that it makes the hair much finer and slow the growth of hair. Was told not to pluck but to shave whenever I see the hair comes out.
Yea there will be one or two sometimes that will still come out but not obvious cause the hair is really fine. Now I just shave whenever I feel that it is growing too long, this can be once in about 3-4 weeks time. Currently, the last I shaved was 18th Nov before I went for my diving trip, until now I haven't touch the shaver yet and the hair is still not visible.

According to the salon girl, it will last after some session. But it depends on individual as well, something about hormones and stuff that will affect the growth of armpit hair. There is also a slight pain factor when doing the e-Light treatment so some people can't stand it and request for a lower energy then it'll take longer time to see the permanent effects. It seems it's quite a new technology which combines IPL and radiofrequency hair removal methods, so far most of her customers has told her that the results are very long lasting.

sorry off topic a bit...

usually how do you girls manage to shave?
i was never able shave successfully, coz maybe the surface is 'not smooth'?

I used to shave but yes, maybe because of the inconsistent surface, I always have some minor cut plus the hair grow faster after shave.
Then I switch to plucking which last me for few days. But just like what munkeyflo said, it is affected by our hormone. If I'm not mistaken those who have higher testosterone will have thicker hair and higher growth rate. So myself take light hormone pill(estrogen) and the effect is quite good.

I never liked shaving either, doesn't seem to work when I have lots of hair cause the roots can still be seen. Can still see lots of black dots all over.

this is what my girl always do,

pull the hair :/ "if you unafraid of it"

Personally, I prefer epilator. I shaved before, it turns to many black dots, I thinks its ingrown hair.. But now I epilate and exfoliate d, its whiter d I think IPL would works even better, but I can't afford it, maybe try saving money.. hehe

I've encountered a girl with thick armpit hair while shopping few days back. When she raised her hand to chose dress, I was like OMG
