If you are looking for the best permanent laser hair removal clinics in Malaysia, we've got the reviews and price covered in this post.

​

Laser hair removal is a convenient, noninvasive method for permanently reducing or removing unwanted facial or body hair. It leaves the skin looking smoother and silkier than waxing, electrolysis or razors and is a gentle technique that can treat larger areas effectively with minimal discomfort and with no downtime. 

​

For a layman, it's also likely that you might get confused over the wide range of prices and methods available in beauty salons and aesthetic clinics. Since there are many popular methods of hair removal in Malaysia, do check out the summary article below so that you know the difference between the various methods.

Permanent Hair Removal Procedures

There are three popular methods of hair removal in Malaysia, namely, laser, Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and electrolysis.

The advantage of laser hair removal is that it is a speedier process compared to electrolysis. Small areas such as above the upper lip could take a minute or so while larger areas such as the underarms could take 10 minutes.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is not a laser. IPL machines produce a broad spectrum of light wavelengths. Unlike lasers, IPL cannot be focused to a concentrated beam. Because a range of different wavelengths are dispersed at a variety of depths, only some of these will be effective for hair removal.

IPL hair removal is offered by most beauty salons and can be performed by trained non-doctors.

Laser hair removal is more expensive than IPL, but the results are better, with less sessions required.

Electrolysis is a hair removal method that requires multiple sessions to achieve good results.

A small electric current is applied with a fine needle-shaped electrode or metal probe into each hair follicle to permanently destroy the root.

The advantage of electrolysis is that it has the best overall results compared to any other method in ridding hair permanently.

Electrolysis targets the hair root itself, unlike laser, which also targets hair pigment. Therefore, electrolysis is safer for those with darker skin tones as it gives lower risk of burns.

The disadvantage of this procedure is that numerous sessions are needed.

Up to 30 sessions may be necessary to permanently get rid of the hair.

As it is a slow, time-consuming process, it also tends to be more expensive.
