Introduction: Latest IPL Prices at Your Fingertips!

Have you ever wondered why hair removal prices in Singapore can vary so much?

As the founders of Wellaholic, we’ve seen this question pop up often among our customers. Our years in the aesthetics industry, both here and abroad, have given us a unique view on this topic. We’ve noticed that many people are unsure about what drives these price differences. At Wellaholic, we believe in being open about our pricing. We’ve found that this approach has helped build trust with our customers.

In this article, we’ll break down the key factors that affect hair removal prices in Singapore. We’ll share insights from our work at Wellaholic and our industry knowledge. Our goal is to help you understand what you’re really paying for when you book a hair removal session.

IPL is short for Intense Pulsed Light, and it's a type of light treatment that is used for a variety of skin concerns

IPL is Intense Pulsed Light.

IPL is a common cosmetic procedure that uses light to remove hair by destroying hair follicles, leading to long-lasting hair reduction. It is a non-invasive and relatively painless method of removing unwanted hair from various parts of the body.

IPL Delivers Intense Light Pulses.

IPL hair removal uses intense light pulses that are absorbed by the hair follicles. This results in the destruction of the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth. The process is repeated over several sessions to achieve the desired results.

IPL Shows Long-Lasting Results.

IPL hair removal is popular in Singapore because it provides long-lasting results. While results may vary depending on the individual, many patients can enjoy hair reduction for several months or even years after completing the recommended number of sessions.

While it's essential to find a salon that offers high-quality services, it's also crucial to find a salon that offers reasonable prices and provides good value for the money spent.

What are the Factors Affecting Prices of Hair Removal in Singapore?

We’ve noticed that many of our customers at Wellaholic are curious about what drives the cost of hair removal in Singapore. As industry veterans, we’ve seen how various factors can impact pricing. Let’s break it down for you.

The size of the treatment area plays a big role in determining the price. Larger areas like the back or legs naturally cost more than smaller spots like the upper lip. The type of hair removal technology used also affects the cost. For example, advanced methods like SHR tend to be pricier than traditional IPL, but they often deliver better results. We’ve found that the number of sessions needed can significantly impact the overall cost too. Most of our customers require 6-8 sessions for optimal results, but this can vary based on individual hair growth patterns. Lastly, the experience and qualifications of the technician matter. At Wellaholic, we invest in highly trained staff to ensure the best outcomes for our customers, which can influence our pricing structure.

Pricing of IPL Hair Removal Treatments (Full Body) in Singapore

We’ve seen a wide range of prices for IPL hair removal in Singapore. At Wellaholic, we offer full body treatments starting from $199 per month for unlimited sessions. This package covers all body areas, including the face, underarms, arms, legs, and Brazilian region.

Other clinics in Singapore charge between $300 to $600 per session for full body IPL. The exact price depends on factors like the clinic’s location, the technology used, and the expertise of the staff. We’ve noticed that many customers at Wellaholic appreciate our transparent pricing model. It helps them plan their treatments without worrying about hidden costs. Remember, cheaper isn’t always better when it comes to IPL. It’s important to choose a reputable provider with experienced technicians for the best results and safety.

Please see the table below which shows the prices of IPL hair removal treatments by providers in Singapore. We included SHR hair removal providers because it is more advanced than IPL and better for Asian skin tones.

SHR hair removal offers a safer, more comfortable, and more effective hair removal experience than IPL

Should You Consider SHR over IPL Hair Removal for Asian Skin and Hair Tone?

We’ve seen a significant shift in hair removal preferences among our customers at Wellaholic. Over 80% of them now choose SHR (Super Hair Removal) over traditional IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments. This trend is especially noticeable for those with Asian skin and hair types.

SHR works better for Asian skin because it uses lower energy levels spread over multiple passes. This method is gentler and reduces the risk of burns or pigmentation issues. We’ve found that SHR is about 25% more effective than IPL for our Asian customers. It also causes less discomfort, with most people rating the pain level at 2 out of 10, compared to 5 out of 10 for IPL. If you’re considering hair removal, SHR might be the better choice for your Asian skin and hair type.

Firstly, many of our customers who have previously tried IPL treatments at other establishments have shared that they find SHR to be more comfortable and effective. They appreciate the continuous motion technique used in SHR, which minimizes discomfort during the treatment. Additionally, they have noticed faster and more consistent results with SHR compared to their past experiences with IPL.

Secondly, we have seen a growing trend of male customers seeking hair removal treatments, particularly for their back, chest, and arms. Many of these men have expressed their desire for a more groomed appearance and have found SHR to be a convenient and long-lasting solution. Our all-inclusive pricing plans have also been popular among our male clientele, as they appreciate the transparency and value for money.

Lastly, we have noticed that many of our customers appreciate the personalized approach we take to their hair removal journey.
