When it comes to hair removal, there are numerous options available, but Laser Hair Removal has gained popularity in Singapore for its effectiveness and benefits. Here are some of the advantages of choosing Laser Hair Removal:
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.
Laser Hair Removal works by targeting the hair follicles beneath the surface of the skin, without causing any damage to the surrounding tissues.
The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment, or melanin, present in the hair follicles. As the energy is absorbed, it transforms into heat, which damages the follicles and inhibits their ability to produce new hair. This process leads to a significant reduction in hair growth.
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.

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 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.

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.

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 penetrate deep into the hair follicle, but 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 use 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.
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.
