Laser Hair Removal offers long-lasting results by targeting the hair follicles and inhibiting future hair growth.
Fotona laser technology allows for precise targeting of hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. It can treat large areas quickly and efficiently.
Unlike traditional hair removal methods such as waxing or shaving, Laser Hair Removal requires no downtime. You can resume your daily activities.
Laser Hair Removal is safe and effective for all skin types, including dark skin tones that may be more prone to complications with other hair removal methods.
At V Medical Aesthetics, our laser hair removal uses the Fotona Nd:YAG (1064nm) laser. This effective wavelength precisely targets melanin in hair follicles, even on darker skin, with minimal impact on surrounding skin.
The laser emits a concentrated light beam absorbed by the hair follicle’s pigment. This energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle at the root and inhibiting regrowth. By specifically targeting the follicle, the surrounding skin remains largely unaffected, ensuring a safe procedure.
This process achieves significant and long-lasting hair reduction over multiple sessions. The Nd:YAG laser’s deep penetration ensures effective treatment of even deep-rooted hairs, resulting in smoother, hair-reduced skin.
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective method for long-term hair reduction. It offers a precise and efficient treatment process, making it a popular choice for those looking for a lasting solution to unwanted hair.
The time between treatments will differ according to the specific area. In areas with fast hair growth, like the upper lip, the treatment may need to be done again after 4 to 8 weeks. However, in areas with slower hair growth, like the back, the treatment may only be necessary every 12 to 16 weeks.
During each treatment, you will be required to wear special goggles in order to shield your eyes from the laser beam.
After undergoing laser hair removal, it is common to experience redness and swelling in the treated area for a few hours.
To alleviate any discomfort, you can apply ice to the affected area. In the event of a skin reaction immediately following the procedure, the doctor may administer a steroid cream to alleviate the symptoms.
It is important to refrain from sun exposure and tanning beds for six weeks or as advised by your doctor. It is also recommended to use a daily broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen.
During the laser hair removal procedure, the doctor will use a handheld laser device on your skin.
When the doctor activates the laser, it will go through your skin and reach the hair follicles. The strong heat from the laser will damage hair follicles, stopping hair from growing. You might feel a warm pinpoint feeling during the process.
If you are treating a small area, like the upper lip, it will probably only take a few minutes. However, if you are treating a bigger or multiple areas, like the legs or back, it might take longer.

Our experienced doctors effectively address various skin tones and hair colours, and can personalise treatments based on your specific skin type and hair characteristics.

The cost of Laser Hair Removal in Singapore can vary depending on several factors, including:
Treatment Area: Size of the treatment area plays a part in determining the cost. Larger areas may require more sessions and therefore cost more than smaller areas.
Number of Sessions: The number of sessions needed to achieve desired results can vary for each individual. Some may require more sessions than others, which can influence the overall cost.
Clinical Expertise: The expertise of the clinic performing hair removal can impact the cost. Hair removal at beauty salons and at established clinics with experienced doctors is different in terms of safety and quality.
For laser hair removal at a trusted aesthetic clinic in Singapore, V Medical Aesthetics offers sessions at just $28 NETT. We recommend consulting with our experienced team for a cost tailored to your specific needs.
Individuals who undergo laser hair removal treatments can expect the results to last for several months or years. Depending on your skin tone and hair type, unwanted hair can be removed with regular maintenance [1].
Even though laser hair removal can achieve long-term hair reduction, it is important to note that one session is not sufficient for successful hair removal. Also, hairs do not fall out immediately after treatment, but you will shed them over the next few days. Do not mistake this as continued hair growth.
Some common side effects of laser hair removal include temporary redness, mild itching in the treated area. These effects are usually mild and subside within a few hours or days following the treatment.
To minimise the side effects of laser hair removal, follow the aftercare instructions provided by your doctor.
These may include avoiding sun exposure, using soothing creams or ice packs, avoiding hot showers, and avoiding tight clothing or excessive friction in the treated area.
There are several different laser hair removal machines available in the market, each with its own set of features and technologies. At V Medical Aesthetics, Nd:YAG Laser is our choice of laser as it is suitable for all patients with light or tan skin [2].
Nd:YAG Laser is a form of laser hair removal for treating patients with darker skin.
It emits a 1064-nm wavelength of light that can penetrate even deeper into the skin, making it more effective at treating thicker hair.
This laser is also safe for use on all skin types, making it a versatile option for many people.
Diode Laser is a newer form of laser hair removal that emits a 810-nm wavelength of light, making it effective at treating coarse hair.
It is versatile for fair to medium skin types and light to medium skin tones.
Although it also penetrates deep into the hair follicle, it may require more treatments for optimal outcome.
Alexandrite Laser produces light at a wavelength of 755 nm, which is suitable for removing fine to medium hair.
This treatment is commonly used for treating larger body areas such as the legs, arms, and back.
However, darker skin tones should avoid this laser as it may lead to hyperpigmentation, which can also be addressed through pigmentation removal services.
Ruby laser is the first laser hair removal system in the market, developed in 1960.
Although there is significant research to support its efficacy, many deem it as outdated.
It produces a shorter wavelength of 694 nm that targets melanin. However, it is not suitable for darker skin tones, as it can cause hyperpigmentation.
Laser hair removal and traditional hair removal methods like shaving, IPL or SHR, differ significantly in terms of their effectiveness, longevity of results, and overall experience.
Laser hair removal uses a concentrated beam of laser to target the hair follicles. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the laser light, which damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a light-based hair removal technique that uses broad-spectrum light to target the hair follicles.
Super Hair Removal (SHR) is an advanced version of IPL that uses a gradual heating method to target the hair follicles. Instead of delivering high-energy pulses, SHR emits multiple low-energy pulses at a rapid rate.
Shaving is a labour-intense hair removal method that involves cutting hair off at the skin’s surface using a razor or an electric shaver.
Waxing is another hair removal method that involves applying hot or cold wax to the skin and then removing the wax along with the unwanted hair.
There are lasers available for at-home hair removal that may result in a moderate reduction of hair. However, there have not been any extensive studies comparing the effectiveness of these devices with professional laser hair removal in clinics.
Moreover, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classifies these home laser hair removal devices as cosmetic rather than medical, leading to less scrutiny compared to other medical devices.
Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive, long-term research on the safety and effectiveness of these at-home machines.
To achieve the best results, multiple sessions are often required because hair grows in various cycles. Treated areas may not be completely hairless, however, any remaining hairs may appear lighter in colour and finer in texture.
After the treatment, the hair that was targeted will gradually shed over the following weeks, resulting in smooth and hair-free skin. You may experience a 20% decrease in hair growth within 4 to 6 weeks after each treatment.

Laser hair removal is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional using FDA-approved machines. Unlike IPL and SHR, laser hair removal can only be performed by a certified doctor in Singapore.
Laser hair removal does not require downtime. Most people return to their everyday activities immediately.
It is a non-invasive procedure, and adverse effects are rare. However, mild side effects such as redness and swelling of the treated areas may occur, but it will subside in a few hours.
The sensation during laser hair removal may vary from person to person, depending on the depth of hair follicles, and hair condition.
Most individuals describe it as a mild discomfort or a rubber band snapping against the skin. It may be more obvious in areas that are more sensitive such as the pubic region.
The number of laser hair removal sessions needed depends on various factors, including hair colour, thickness, and the treatment area.
Typically, multiple sessions are required to target hair follicles effectively throughout their growth cycle. On average, 6-8 sessions are recommended for optimal results.
The results vary from patient to patient, as there are many contributing factors such as skin tone, hair colour and thickness and treatment area.
You can expect to see results after 3 to 4 weeks, and a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment.
Please do note that the hair in the treated areas do require some time to shed after the laser.
While early laser technologies were less effective on darker skin tones, advancements have made laser hair removal accessible for people with varying skin colours.
V Medical Aesthetics Clinic is using the Fotona Laser in FRAC3 setting, which is suitable for various skin types, including fair, olive, and dark-skinned individuals.
Before undergoing laser hair removal, it is important to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks. You should also avoid plucking, waxing, or bleaching the targeted area leading up to the treatment, as these methods can interfere with the effectiveness of laser hair removal.
It is important to follow some post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing.
These may include avoiding sun exposure, applying aloe vera or a cool compress to soothe the skin, avoiding hot showers or baths, and avoiding tight clothing that may irritate the treated area.
Yes, you can shave between laser hair removal sessions.
However, it is crucial to avoid other hair removal methods like plucking, waxing, or using depilatory creams, as these can disrupt the hair growth cycle targeted by the laser.
Laser hair removal is generally not recommended for pregnant women as a precautionary measure. While there is no conclusive evidence suggesting harm to the fetus, it is advisable to wait until after pregnancy and consult with your OBGYN.
