Living in the tropics can be quite tough, especially when the sun decides to amp up its heat index. Thankfully, we can rely on sleeveless outfits because they provide both style and comfort. However, not everyone is confident in sporting them due to various reasons. Bumps, hyperpigmentation and unwanted hair are just a few reasons to say no to going sleeveless.
So when Japan IPL Express approached us to try their Underarm Procedure, which promised hair-free 'pits, we immediately said yes. A lover of sleeveless outfits not just on a daily basis but also when she travels, Clozette's Community Executive Sabrina was more than game to try the treatment. She's heard so many good things about the treatment but it was her first time to actually try out IPL (intense pulsed light technology). Read on for her experience and what you need to know if you're looking to try out the treatment.

After receiving her, the attendants checked if she has waxed, plucked or epilated unwanted hair at least a week before the first IPL or in between the IPL sessions. Shaving is said to be fine as IPL requires the hair roots to be intact in order for the treatment to be effective, although other hair removal treatments are not advised. Sabrina epilated the day before her session, but upon checking by the staff, she was still advised to proceed with the treatment. "I was really happy they assisted with checking rather than turning me down immediately," she shared.
