Picture this: you’ve overslept and reach out for the nearest item of clothing, only to realise it’s a sleeveless top and you don’t have time to shave your underarms. Shave time off your morning routine instead with IPL hair removal. There are plenty of affordable Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Super Hair Removal (SHR) services in Singapore to help you get smooth and hairless underarms. If you have yet to try any of these services for yourself, we’ve compiled a list of 13 affordable first-time underarm IPL packages in Singapore for your virgin permanent hair removal experience.
Musee Platinum Tokyo prides itself as Japan’s number one premier hair removal salon. It uses Smooth Skin Control (S.S.C) Hair Removal technology to reduce and remove your hair.
Not only is S.S.C pain-free, a single session to treat your underarms only lasts up to 30 minutes. This means you can pop by during lunch for a quick sesh. Your first visit will, however, include an hour-long consultation with Musee Platinum Tokyo’s staff to determine the best treatment plan for you.
The salon has monthly promotions available but if you happen to miss them, its usual prices are still wallet-friendly.
