I've a good deal from Bodywellness Heritage Court - 10 IPL sessions for $1440. But I managed to get it even cheaper plus FOC collagen mask for hydration.
My consultant no pushy at all and promise that she can get us more FREE sessions if my frenz are interested. PM me if interested. |

Hi, does IPL really help to whiten pigmentation? As after using the removal cream, the underarms are kinda dark in color... is there any way to whiten it? |

Im actually looking for reviews on IPL by Strip when I stumbled on this thread. Thought I'll share my experience with shaving + waxing + threading + IPL.
--- who am i ---
I have been shaving my legs/underarms for 10 years. Had lots of problems with ingrowns and dark spots and itchy/sensitive skin. Ladies, if you havent started shaving, DONT. Its probably the best advice anyone can give you regarding this topic.
--- ipl (bella) ---
5 years ago, in 2003, I signed for 6 x IPL (upper lips) with Bella, + 1 yr 'maintenance warranty' @ approximately $2500. A doctor administers the IPL. A cooling gel is spread over the area, before the laser is used. It was relatively painless and the skin's redness would go off in 15 minutes.
--- ipl didnt work -> threading now ---
5 years later now, I think the upper-lip growth has reduced by some 25% but is still enough to make me conscious. I am now trying threading (much cheaper! @ $6 + gst) at Browhaus (Holland V). Repeated threading will 'supposedly' thin the regrowth, just like waxing. Threading is not painful and is fast. Minimal redness that goes away in 2 minutes? :p
--- waxing + ipl (strip) again ---
Last year, I got so fed up with shaving my legs and underarm that I started waxing (at Strip, not DIY at home). The results were decent. Waxing is affordable @ $40 per month ($25 for legs & $15 for underarms). The results keep me happy: dark spots remain, but the skin got better and the regrowth was slower than shaving.
Finally the sales rep got to me and I turned to IPL again hoping for a long term solution. This time round, prices have come down quite a bit. I paid $4000 for 6 x IPL (underarm + half legs) with no 'warranty'. The good thing is: the dark spots have gone, no more ingrowns! my skin is smooth & silky according to the husband, the hairs have gotten finer  BUT the number of hairs doesnt seem to have reduced 
--- frustration ---
I dont know what to do with my problem, but I know Im NOT going back to shaving. I have not tried electronic epilator and Im afraid to ruin the good results from IPL and waxing so far. If all else fails, I think I'll revert to waxing. No more $$$ on IPL for me :S
I just wonder how come the industry allows business to charge so much money for IPL and other treatments and yet the customer has so little ways/means to ensure that we get results for the $$$ we pay out? Sigh.
Cheers to all out there, hope you find your solution someday |

I've tried an australian brand of hair removal cream & Veet cream before for my legs. For underarms, was shaving all the way till a few years back I started plucking them. Can be frustrating sometimes especially you can't really see the hair clearly.
I'm currently epilating my legs & arms hair, true enough, you have to wait till it's a few mm long before you can epilate it again. However, the pores on my skin are rather obvious, even though the hair is removed, the pores are still visible. Sort of creates a false illusion. |

hi gals,
try using an epilator instead. looks like a shaver but it actually plucks out the hair.
cream is not really recommended for sensitive skin like mine, and it really smells and my skin will turn red after that.. |

I did my armpit and bikini IPL besides my face.
My gf did the brazilian IPL. I am a die-hard fan for IPL.
For years I have shaved and waxing (cant stand the pain) and finally I went with my gf for IPL.
It helps to lighten the dark patches under the arm. Hopefully, I can start to wear sleeveless tops.
The place i go to have won awards in 2008 & 2009. so I feel safe lor. |

Yeah... though it isn't permanent hair removal, hair regrowth is significantly reduced. So totally worth it. Don't have to tweeze my pits every night! Plus whitening effect. Kill two birds with a stone.
But I go for VPL (variable pulsed light) instead of IPL. IPL is still painful to me, but VPL is really no pain de. Love it. Check it out |

I've got my underarm IPL at Pink Parlour.The machine they used is safe and prevent the risk of skin burning.They have won many beauty awards and are well known for waxing too.I rather go for permanent rather than waxing.Skip the hastle of going back each month to get the waxing done.I've done only 4 sessions and my hair is almost gone.Very satisfied with the results! |
