Time for IPL treatment review!
So far, I have yet to wait very long for my treatment to start. Probably only about 5-10 minutes max?
So during the first treatment (did it a few months back, probably around March), I was escorted into the treatment room whereby I have to change into a blue tank-top that they have provided. After changing, I laid down on the bed under a blanket with my eyes covered. The staff told us every single step that they are about to do and was pretty detailed about it.
Here comes the embarrassing part..
You gotta bare your pits! So now the treatment starts, the consultant will use an electric shaver to shave off hair that are long. Next she'd cleanse the underarms and then apply some gel on the it!
Now, it is time to zappppppp the underarms
I wouldn't say it is really painful. It felt more like ants biting it.. On the scale of 1/10, it is probably about 3? The pain is really bearable! She probably zapped each side about 8 times? After zapping, she placed a cooling pad under the armpits and asked me to "kiap" it tight for about 5 minutes. I think this process is just to cool the armpits down (I better ask her the next time round!)
Now I am onto my third treatment, and yes the IPL definitely works for me. I used to shave very often, probably every day because I have rapid hair growth (more like, long stubs). But now, I shave about 3 days apart! On top of that, it definitely brightens my underarm quite a bit. I totally can't wait for the next appointment to come.
PS: She did tell me not to shave for about 2 weeks during the first treatment. But I couldn't do it lah, I waited for 3 days and I felt so ughhhhhhhhhh by the sight of it already! Perhaps if you really listened to the consultant, the effects might be better?
