Beauty Talk – Strip IPL

I have been doing IPL on my underarms for years. I enjoy how I don’t have to go through the hassle of shaving every other day and worrying that the skin will loosen and darken. So I was really glad to be invited for an IPL session with Strip on my legs because I had been shaving mine for the longest time and really hated the hassle!

Lucky for me, Strip is conveniently located at 17 locations around Singapore!

What is Intense Pulsed-Light Hair Removal?

It is an advanced and semi-permanent hair reduction method. Beams of specially filtered light are used to disintegrate hair from the root. New hair growth is delayed and a percentage of hair may not re-grow.

After 8 years of research, Strip developed the ultimate IPL treatment, a semi-permanent hair reduction that is safe and near pain-free. Strip uses the Ferrari of IPL machines thus only require six sessions to eliminate your hair woes.
- The IPL technology administers very low dosages of light and heat in repetitive batches over the targeted area of skin 

- As the energy output is lower, Strip’s therapists are able to repeatedly concentrate the energy for effective and virtually pain-free hair reduction
- Due to the gradual application process, there is less chance of burns or pain from the heat of the flashes or the ‘snapping’ sensations from intense shots of energy aimed at weakening hair follicles
- IPL technology is particularly effective for targeting fine facial hair, fine bodily hair, light-coloured or blonde hair as the heat therapy does not require guidance from pigmentation in hair strands. In addition, IPL also reduces in-grown hair issues and uneven pigmentation for clearer, smoother and rejuvenated skin. 


My IPL Experience at Strip Plaza Singapore

I was warmly greeted by Benny at Strip Plaza Singapura! Benny brought me into the treatment room to prep for the treatment. I really love how the room is clean, well-designed, pink and cosy! It got me all excited and looking forward to the session!

Benny started applying cooling gel on my legs and then evenly spread the gel on my skin.

After the gel is evenly spread, the treatment begins! The applicator was brought through the entire targeted area on my legs, in repetitive batches.

As soon as the treatment ended, Benny cleaned the gel on my legs before applying moisturizer so that the skin gets the moisture before the pores start closing up. My skin feels super smooth! :D

GOOD NEWS!

Hair Talk - Salon Vim

Thanks to Salon Vim, I have had manageable hair since 2 years ago. Now that I've jumped into the bandwagon, I feel obliged to share with you the wonderful hair services that I've been pampered with since I've been visiting Salon Vim.

I met my new stylist, Ivan last month and he carefully diagnosed the main problem of my scalp. It had dead skin coagulated over the years so during my first consultation with Ivan, he pointed out this scalp treatment that I must do, which included a relaxing massage by Julia. I couldn't ask for more, especially when I had been having constant neck aches, the massage came at the right time.

After the scalp treatment, my hair was ready for my first coloring! Ivan recommended warm brown base with honey brown ombre since it was my first time and I had wanted safer colors to start with. I must say, it's really addictive seeing these colors on my hair now I'm craving for more now. LOL! So tadah! Here's the result after another treatment after the hair color is completed!

Right after that, I don't know how this picture turned out so dreamy..

Ivan gave me some products to try too, for my scalp, and coloured hair mask and serum.

Just when you think your hair will look different after you wash the next day, well, turned out my hair looks even better the following day!

Weeee! So happy with the results! I went back to Ivan 2 weeks later to get my roots rebounded. This time I remembered what treatment was given to me! The treatment was done right after my rebonding.

Smallest orange tub - for deep penetration of nutrition, anti-dryness, provision of protein substance and increment of nutrition level

Maroon/purple bottle - adding of constitutive substance to hair and makes hair denser and thicker

Green Masque Force Architecte - mask for brittle and damaged hair 

I think I look very cool here no? 

We had a chat with Gary since we were the last to go, and took a last shot with Gary before we ended the night! I'm looking forward to my next appointment in the new salon! Whhoooop!
