Frequently Asked Questions
How our IPL machine works?
Private Room’s Super Hair Removal machine utilises a high repetition rate of short pulses delivered deep into the dermis, achieving high average power and therapeutically effective heat build-up, with virtually no pain.
It works by gradually heating the dermis to a temperature that effectively damages the hair follicles, preventing them from growing back, while protecting the surrounding skin. The hair follicles are not exposed to a single pulse of high energy, which can injure the skin, but rather receive multiple, short, low energy pulses until enough heat energy is generated to damage the hair follicle.
The In-motion™ technique used with SHR involves moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area, applying energy over a large grid- not just the area of the hair follicle. In-motion collectively heats up and damages the hair follicles, ensuring full coverage which dramatically improves results. (* retrieved from our hand note by the manufacturer)
Is IPL painful?
We would almost rate 1 out of 10, with 10 being most painful. Honestly, there is almost no pain,. You probably feel some warm sensation when the hand piece moves along the area of treatment. Our trained team of therapist will always start off your session with the lower power setting to get you comfortable.
However, some customers do feel a certain pricky sensation if they have really thick hair follicles at the first couple of sessions. That can be dealt with lower power setting. Darker skin will absorb heat more and therefore if you recently just had a tan, or if you have darker skin tone, it is recommended we stick with lower setting so as to protect your skin.

A brazilian IPL session will take as quick as ten minutes if you come in shaven clean!
I have never shaved down there before, I am scared to do so! Can your therapist help us to shave?
Firstly, our team of therapists are all females, we provide shaving for female but not for male. Not to worry if you are afraid of shaving especially down under, our team of therapists help female clients to shave, at no additional charge.
Please do take note though that the disposable shavers we use do not have lubricating stripe (so as to avoid any irritation to the skin), we only use water to “wet” the area of treatment. If your skin is dry and sensitive, please note that creeping across it with a razor might leave you slightly red and inflamed.
Can I still go for my waxing session / epilate?
We shave before each IPL session so that the pulses are delivered deep into the dermis (root of our hair follicle) that contains the most black pigment which is what determines the effectiveness of your IPL treatment. When you wax/epilate, you remove the hair root, and where does that leave the hair follicle which we need?
So the answer is no, you should no stop all waxing/ epilating if you want to begin your IPL hair removal journey.
How long is each IPL session? Can I schedule during my lunch break?
If you come in shaven, an underarm session takes only about 5-10 minutes.
Upper / lower lip: 5 minutes
Jaw line/ chin/ Full face: 10 to 20 minutes
Arms: 10 to 15 minutes
Full chest/ back: 10 to 20 minutes
Legs: 15 to 30 minutes
Brazilian / Boyzilian: 10 to 20 minutes
Female Full body: 1 to 1.5 hour
How many sessions do I need go through to achieve “hair-free”
Depending on body part, generally, 6 to 12 sessions are sufficient, at an interval of 4 to 8 weeks to complete a cycle treatment. However, that really depends on individual’s age and hormones. Also, depending on the treatment area. For most, it takes just 4 sessions to drastically reduce the amount of hair on their arms/legs. less than 12 sessions for complete removal!
“Why I have done 10 sessions but I still have so much hair down there!”
Generally, 6 to 12 sessions are sufficient, at an interval of 4 to 8 weeks to complete a cycle treatment. But for Brazilian/boyzilian/ underarm part, where the hair follicles are more thicken and stubborn, it is normal to go through more than 12 sessions. However, most clients see that before the top part of above “the triangle” are mostly gone in less than 12 sessions! It is important that you trust us on this hair removal journey especially for our sensitive down under, to be effective yet “not burn the skin”. Treatment power settings are set low so as to protect the skin and therefore results are slower.
Most clients who still see hairs after 12 sessions are typically on the side of the labia/ on the testicle area for the boyzilian. Please do trust that we want to be effective yet sensitive to our thinner skin down under. Most customers who see a good hair removal on their bikini line, find themselves continue to do a zap once in every 2-4 months to cover the remanence of the hairs between the labia and on the testicle areas.
It is recommended that you return for additional re-examination 3-4 months later, or when any new hair has grown in the treatment area, after you complete the cycle of 6 – 12 sessions.
