On my last post, I had my first service and it was a great experience. After the session (6 weeks), the hair grew but it's thinner than I expected. I was amazed that the hair was falling off (same as others). I didn't pluck it and just let it be. 

Today, November 7, 2017, I continued the Diode Laser Hair Removal service. Same as my first session, it's really painless (on my personal opinion). Seriously, I was expecting that it will be painful but it wasn't. Maybe because I was accustomed of the pain that I encountered from monthly waxing. 

For the first time, I will share to you the photo of the procedure. 😉


The procedure took about 30 minutes. It's really relaxing and I was happy that I'm now hair-free.

P.S. Although I have completed the Buy 1 Take 1 sessions, I will still continue the procedure until I reached my 8th session. I will coming back on December.

How about you? Have you tried this service? Share your experience.

Today, September 25, 2017, I purchased a Buy 1 Take 1 promo of DIODE LASER hair removal at Skin Station / Dermax Station Festival Supermall Alabang.

I've known Skin Station clinic since 2014 (when I was still working in Makati City). The main branch in Gil Puyat is just a walking distance from my former office. I was very hesitant to try it before because I was afraid at that time. So I usually go to a waxing clinic to do my errands. The downside of waxing is you have to wait for your hair to grow before you do another waxing session. So it’s like an endless cycle and there’s no huge difference. I guess it's not worth your money even though it's cheap.

Back to the topic, diode laser hair removal became the new trend instead of cold waxing. I have bumped into many blogs about Skin Station's diode laser hair removal so I decided to give a chance to try it, why not? 

What is Diode Laser hair removal? 

Diode Laser features a longer wavelength compared to IPL treatments. It provides safer and deeper penetration into skin layer. The Diode laser is the best overall laser for all skin types based on long term use.

How it works?

First, the therapist will clean the area and shave your hair. Then, she will put a cold treatment gel on your underarm. Next, the laser device will be applied to remove your unwanted hair. It will take 30 minutes or more for the procedure. Then, the gel will be wiped off and will clean the surface.

After the Procedure

The therapist recommended a Post-Laser cream to be applied on your underarm twice a day for three days. It costs Php 220.

Does it hurt?

No! If you’re like me, who regularly goes to a waxing salon, it doesn’t hurt. I laughed when the laser hit on my skin at first. Luckily, I never felt any discomfort during my 1st session. The therapist shared to me that most of her patients experienced discomfortness because it’s their first time. 

How often should you go?

Every 6 - 8 weeks but my therapist suggested to take another session on my 6th week for better results.

How many sessions to take?

8 sessions or more is enough. But after your 8th session / first year, you must take their booster to prevent hair regrowth. 

Is it worth it? 

YES!!! I'm very satisfied on my first session. There's a huge difference even though it's just my first one. My next session will be on the 1st week of November.




Note: This is not a sponsored post. I availed their service using my own money.

Here's my post regarding my 2nd session: https://www.iamulyssaelaine.com/2017/11/painless-diode-laser-hair-removal-at-skin-station.html
