What is Cold Touch IPL Laser Hair Removal?
Cold Touch IPL is a cutting-edge hair removal technique that uses light energy to target hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface. This process disrupts the hair growth cycle, leading to gradual reduction over multiple sessions. It is a gentle, effective, and safe alternative to traditional laser hair removal, making it suitable for treating areas like the face, arms, legs, and bikini line.

IPL Laser Hair Removal vs. Waxing
Pain Level
– IPL: Relatively comfortable, with a cooling system designed to reduce discomfort. It’s also common to feel a slight tingling sensation during treatment.
– Waxing: Can be quite painful, especially for sensitive areas. The process involves pulling hair out from the root, which can cause discomfort during and after the session.
Longevity
– IPL: Provides long-lasting results. Hair regrowth significantly reduces after a series of treatments, with some individuals experiencing permanent hair loss.
– Waxing: Offers temporary results. Hair typically regrows after 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle.
Skin Sensitivity
– IPL: A gentler permanent hair removal method, with a cooling mechanism that helps prevent skin irritation. However, some people with sensitive skin may experience slight redness or swelling that typically fades within a few hours.
– Waxing: Can cause more irritation, redness, and bumps, especially for those with sensitive skin. The skin may be more prone to burns or bruising due to the pulling motion, and irritation can last for a few days.
Cost Over Time
– IPL: Typically has a higher upfront cost, but may be more cost-effective due to its long-lasting results.
– Waxing: Requires regular sessions—usually every few weeks—which can add up over time. The need for continuous appointments makes waxing more expensive in the long run.
Benefits of IPL Laser Hair Removal
Here are some reasons why Cold Touch IPL laser hair removal is superior to traditional methods like shaving and waxing:
Permanent Hair Reduction
IPL provides up to 80% hair reduction after multiple sessions, delivering long-term results compared to the temporary effects of shaving and waxing. Moreover, the treatment targets hair follicles at the root, weakening them to prevent future growth.
Pain-Free Technology
Unlike waxing, which can cause pain and irritation, Cold Touch IPL uses a cooling system to provide a painless hair removal experience. The cooling mechanism ensures minimal discomfort, making it a more comfortable alternative to traditional hair removal methods.
Smoother Skin
IPL not only removes hair but also improves skin texture by reducing ingrown hairs. This results in smoother skin over time, unlike shaving, which can cause roughness and irritation, or waxing, which can lead to bumps and redness.
Safe & Non-Invasive
IPL is a safe and non-invasive hair removal treatment with minimal downtime. It works on various skin types and tones, making it suitable for more people compared to conventional methods.

FAQs About Cold Touch IPL Laser Hair Removal in Singapore
1. What is Cold Touch IPL hair removal, and how does it work?
Cold Touch IPL hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses advanced light energy to target and reduce hair growth at the follicle. The hair pigment absorbs the broad-spectrum light, disrupting the growth cycle for long-term hair reduction. With its built-in cooling system, the treatment offers a pain-free experience, unlike traditional methods like waxing or shaving. See the results in our gallery page.
2. Is IPL suitable for permanent hair removal in Singapore?
Yes, IPL laser hair removal is an excellent option for long-term hair reduction. Through a series of sessions, IPL targets hair follicles to gradually reduce hair growth, providing lasting results. It also ensures minimal discomfort, making it a more comfortable and effective alternative to conventional hair removal treatments. For more details on our packages and special offers, visit our promotions page.
3. Does Cold Touch IPL laser hair removal hurt?
IPL hair removal is designed to be gentle and virtually pain-free. While most clients experience little to no discomfort, some may feel a mild warming sensation as the light energy targets the hair follicles. This is a temporary sensation that quickly fades during or after the treatment.
4. How many sessions of IPL are needed for permanent hair removal?
The number of sessions required depends on your individual needs and the specific treatment area. For example, individuals with finer or lighter hair, or larger areas like the legs, may require more sessions. Our experienced therapists will provide a customised plan tailored to you during your consultation. Reach out to us via our contact page to schedule your appointment.
5. Who is IPL Hair Removal Suitable For?
IPL laser hair removal works best for individuals with lighter skin and dark hair, as the technology targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair. However, new IPL technology is designed to suit a wider range of skin types and hair colours. It tends to be less effective on grey, red, or blonde hair, as these contain less melanin.
Caution is advised for pregnant women or those with severe skin conditions. We recommend consulting with our specialists to determine whether IPL is appropriate for you.
