In Singapore’s tropical heat, where sleeveless tops and shorts are practically a uniform, dealing with unwanted fuzz is a constant battle. You want smooth skin without the hassle of razor burn or pesky ingrown hairs.
However, walking into an aesthetic clinic can be intimidating. You hear horror stories of hard-selling consultants or treatments that simply don’t work. You need a place that is safe, effective, and confirm good.
Whether you are looking for traditional Laser, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), or the newer SHR (Super Hair Removal) technology, we have scanned the island for the best spots.
Here are the 10 best clinics for laser hair removal in Singapore.
1. Strip: Ministry of Waxing
Don’t let the name fool you. While they are famous for the “Brazilian Wax,” Strip is also a heavyweight in the semi-permanent hair reduction game. They use AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology), which is the next generation of IPL. It uses a gradual heating system that is much more comfortable than the “rubber band snap” feeling of older machines.
Best for: Beginners who are nervous about pain and want a brand with a long, trusted track record.
2. Wellaholic
Wellaholic has built a massive following in Singapore because of their transparent pricing and “no hard-selling” policy. They specialize in SHR (Super Hair Removal) technology. Unlike traditional lasers that use high heat on a single spot, SHR uses low energy with rapid pulses. This makes it safer for darker skin tones and much less painful.
Best for: Those looking for “Unlimited” lifetime packages that offer great value for money.
3. Japan IPL Express
If you hate signing up for expensive 10-session packages, Japan IPL Express is your savior. They operate on a unique “pay-per-shot” system. You walk in, get zapped, pay for exactly what you used, and leave. No appointments are necessary, making it incredibly convenient for busy Singaporeans.
Best for: Commitment-phobes and students who want flexibility without a big upfront cost.
4. EstheClinic
With French roots, EstheClinic offers a high-end, boutique experience. They use their own patented MacPeel technology. This is an IPL system designed to be “Painless” (or at least, as close to painless as you can get). The handset has an integrated cooling system that keeps the skin chilly while the heat destroys the hair follicle.
Best for: People with very low pain tolerance who want a luxurious, spa-like environment.
5. Musee Platinum Tokyo
You have probably seen their ads on the MRT. Musee is Japan’s premier hair removal salon and is famous in Singapore for its S.S.C. (Smooth Skin Control) Hair Removal. This method uses a specially formulated gel activated by light. They are known for their incredibly cheap promotions for new customers, often costing less than a hawker meal.
Best for: Budget hunters looking for extremely affordable underarm and bikini line deals.
6. Supersmooth
Standard lasers can sometimes be risky for darker skin tones, as the laser targets melanin (pigment). Supersmooth is different. They use OLED technology which delivers high energy with short pulse widths. This allows them to effectively treat all skin tones, from very fair to very dark, without the risk of burns.
Best for: People with tanned or darker skin tones who have been turned away by other clinics.
7. The Clifford Clinic
If you prefer a medical environment over a beauty salon vibe, The Clifford Clinic is a top choice. This is an aesthetic clinic run by doctors. They use the Candela GentleLase Pro, a medical-grade laser that is considered the gold standard in the industry. It is powerful and delivers results faster than typical IPL machines.
Best for: Those who want medical-grade supervision and faster results in fewer sessions.
8. Only Aesthetics
Only Aesthetics is a disruptor in the local beauty scene. They were one of the first to popularize IPL and have since moved on to offer various advanced technologies like SHR and their proprietary glueless hair removal. They are known for their “Unlimited” removal deals which allow you to treat large areas without counting every penny.
Best for: Full-body treatments and those who want the latest trendy technology.
9. Pink Parlour
Pink Parlour has been around since 2005 and is a familiar sight in many shopping malls. They use Alpha Light technology, which combines IPL and RF (Radio Frequency). This dual approach not only removes hair but also helps to brighten the skin, which is great if you suffer from dark shadows in the underarm area.
Best for: Whitening and smoothing the skin while removing hair simultaneously.
10. Datsumo Labo
Another Japanese import, Datsumo Labo specializes in full-body hair removal using SHR technology. They are famous for their “monthly subscription” plans, which function like a gym membership. This allows you to manage your cash flow better than paying a lump sum of $3,000 upfront.
Best for: People who want full-body hair removal managed through affordable monthly payments.
