Is Laser Hair Removal for Me?

Superfluous hair can be the bane of our lives. Wouldn’t it be great to have smooth, hair-free skin forever without any irritating stubble? With laser hair removal, no longer will you have to pluck, shave, wax or bleach on a regular basis. 

You should note that several laser sessions are required before the hair is gone for good. However, if you are fed up with the constant battle of removing hair, this treatment is well worth the initial investment, as it’ll save you considerable time and money in the future. 

Why Have Laser Hair Removal in Johor Bahru?

Medical and beauty travel is a growing phenomenon, and many cities in Malaysia, like Johor Bahru, are starting to firmly establish themselves on the medical tourism map. 

Some visitors, like Singaporeans, live on the doorstep of Johor Bahru, and it’s only a short taxi ride or train journey away to travel to JB to get a wide array of shopping and services for a whole lot less than they pay at home. Special trips over for a course of laser hair treatment is no worse travel-wise than getting a taxi to the other side of town.

For visitors from further afield, unless you are visiting JB regularly, it probably isn’t worth having laser hair removal in the city as you will need a number of sessions for the treatment to be effective. However, if you are a frequent visitor, then the option of getting the treatment at a lower price could be worth your while.

The facilities in Johor Bahru are certainly on a par with what you would expect to find at home. Our listed clinics are modern, hygienic and adhere to recognized global standards, for example, those of the International Standard Organization (ISO).

Am I Suitable for Laser Hair Removal? 

Not all hair is created equal, and so the specific laser device used for your treatment will differ depending on the color, thickness and area to be treated, as well as whether you are light or dark-skinned. 

A good practitioner will advise you on what method is suitable for you. If you have any pre-existing skin or hormonal conditions, a local doctor with access to your medical records will be able to advise whether this treatment is suitable for you. Or be sure to bring your medical records with you on your visit, so your in-country specialist can have all the details required to make a sound decision.

What Is the Procedure for Laser Hair Removal? 

Once your suitability for laser hair removal treatment has been confirmed, a test patch will be performed to ensure there are no allergic reactions and you will be asked to wear protective glasses. 

One treatment session can take up to an hour if the area is large. Your hair may be trimmed beforehand, shortening the distance the laser beam has to travel down to reach the hair root, making the process more effective.

You will need to have further treatments, which are usually recommended at intervals of between four and eight weeks.

What Is the Recovery Time for Laser Hair Removal?

While the treatment isn’t painful, it can be uncomfortable. Your skin will feel hot and will appear red afterward. Apply ice packs and soothing creams to the skin to relieve the discomfort, and the redness should dissipate after an hour or two.
