PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION

For ladies who are looking for permanent hair reduction that would last, this treatment is for you.

Through this process, hair growth will be reduced permanently, which is definitely different from temporary hair removal methods, such as waxing or shaving. Laser Hair Removal (and IPL) are also suitable methods of hair removal for those who are afraid of the stinging pain or possible ingrown hair caused by other methods such as shaving or waxing.

Laser Hair Removal (and IPL) can be on the following areas:

Face, neck, arms, chest, arms, underarms, back, legs, and stomach.

Laser Hair Removal would not hurt as much as waxing does, but some might experience a slight stinging sensation.

We understand that it might be difficult for some of us to estimate the number of Laser Hair Removal treatment sessions we may need to achieve the best hair reduction results, hence we would recommend our clients to consult our friendly therapists before deciding on which package would be suitable for you.

At Blush, we also provide a customisable treatment package which consists of a combination of both IPL and Laser Hair Removal treatments for permanent hair removal.

We allow our clients to go for IPL treatments for the first few sessions to allow the skin to gradually adapt to the treatments, as the less intense light energy would be less taxing for the skin. But, although IPL is less intense, a significant amount of hair reduction can still be seen.

Thereafter, Laser Hair Removal treatment would be recommended to our clients for a more direct approach to reduce the growth of the remaining, more stubborn hair. Laser Hair Removal treatment will be more concentrated and precise, resulting in a greater reduction of hair.

After a Laser Hair Removal treatment, there will be slight redness in the treated area. A stubble may reappear two to three days after the treatment. It is fine to shave if you need to, but this should only be done 1-2 days after the treatment.

Please read the notes below to find out more!
In one to two weeks’ time, you will be able to see shedding of the damaged hair.

Do not be confused as this is not new hair growth!

When the shedding process is complete, new hair will grow out and it would be time for your next treatment (typically 4-6 weeks).

For more details, please read the other questions, and don't hesitate to contact us to clarify your doubts!

Yes, you can shave between treatments as the heat energy works with the bulb and shaft of the hair, which is not affected when you shave.
However, do take note that if you tweeze or wax your hair between treatments, you would have to wait till your hair grows back before coming for your next treatment.

After Laser Hair Removal (and/or IPL) treatments, your body would need time to shed the hair which has been thermally destroyed.

Do take note that this is not continued hair growth! It takes anywhere from a few days to three weeks to fully shed the thermally damaged hair under our skin.
Even though it might seem like hair is still continuing to grow, it is purely the body shedding hair.

Over time, the treated, destroyed hair follicles will be gone from your skin, causing there to be permanent hair reduction.

There are some things that we want our clients to take note of:

Laser would not work well with light-coloured hair as there is not much pigment within the follicles.
On the other hand, there might also be possible complications for clients with darker skin tones due to the presence of high concentration of pigment in the skin.
Certain medications, such as muscle relaxants, anti-depressants, anti-cancer drugs, acne medications, and topical creams containing Retin-A, may cause your body to become more sensitive to light. In such cases, it is recommended to re-schedule the appointment to a time when you are no longer taking such medication.
