Forget the tedious cycle of shaving every few days. We’ve found a game changer for your hair removal routine.
Minimum effort, maximum results is my new beauty mantra this year. Lately, daily shaving just doesn’t cut it for me. Razor burn, ingrown hairs and dryness? No, thank you. If you’re also looking to streamline your self-care routine, this might be the time to consider moving beyond shaving, waxing and at-home IPL devices, and welcome a new alternative. Enter Japan IPL Express with the Advanced Diode Light, aka ADLight™. Said to be a comfy yet effective hair removal method, this could be a new cheat code in your beauty routine.
Scroll on for the lowdown on this hair removal method – and how you can try it out for free!
How does it work?
Hailing from Japan, this is a patented technology available at Japan IPL Express – an award-winning brand said to be Singapore’s top unisex hair removal specialist with more than 100,000 reviews!
Referred to as the ‘next generation Pulsed Light’, it works using the same principle as photoepilation methods and has been refined for over a decade. Said to be five times more powerful than conventional IPL, it’s touted as having more precise delivery of heat and light to targeted follicles – even deep-rooted, stubborn and resistant hair. In turn, this increases its effectiveness at removing and retarding hair re-growth for permanent hair reduction in as few as five to eight sessions.
If pain is your nemesis, you’ll also be pleased to know that this process is virtually pain-free. The applicator comes with a cooling tip to maximise comfort throughout the treatment.
Peek inside a session at Japan IPL Express
Curious to know what a session at Japan IPL Express looks like? Unlike the usual salons, there are no packages and appointments. Forget about calling ahead or arranging your schedule around fixed appointments. Simply stroll into any of the 17 outlets islandwide, and the staff will get you sorted.
Treatments are also priced by Shots™ – each priced at $2.40 for one blast of light emitted out from the ADLight™ handpiece. How many will you need? Well, it depends on the chosen area for hair removal and your unique skin and hair conditions, which JapanIPL’s experts will advise you on.
During the session, the therapist starts by checking the target area for hair removal, and recommends the number of Shots™ needed. Forgot to shave? No fret, the therapist will have the treatment area shaved at no extra charge and ensure your skin is clean and ready to go.
Aftercare is not an afterthought, so be sure to keep your skin moisturised, and avoid any direct and harsh exposure. For best results, it is recommended to return every four weeks for about five to eight sessions to target active hair growth cycles.
