Doc Laurence Skinful and Body Specialist- IPL Hair Removal Underarms plus Whitening Review


Unwanted hair? If the answer is Yes, IPL is probably one of the things you thought about to solve that problem. Bought a Metrodeal voucher for this particular problem, worth Php99. ^^ I’m cheap what can I say? Haha!

Anyway, about Doc Laurence, here’s what I have to say:


1. Schedule- Schedule weeks before just to make sure, most especially if you see that there are a lot of people who bought vouchers. I am sure that they will try to get good slots. But in my part, it wasn’t hard to get a good slot because I called them quite early.
2. Location- It’s (un)conveniently located in Marikina, but for those of you who are near Marikina, well good for you. Anyway, it’s easy to spot. There’s a salon at the first floor and then the clinic is at the second floor. It’s located in Unit 37-B Bayan- Bayanan Avenue, Marikina.
3. Comfort- The place where the procedure is done is actually near the receiving area. There’s just a curtains there. It’s okay. You can move around.
4. Staff- Very very friendly.  So accommodating that I forgot that I paid only Php99 for the treatment. I found their staff more accommodating despite the price tag. Two thumbs up. Plus the doctor there was very nice and friendly too.  
5. Procedure- First, they ask you to sign a form, then a waiver allowing them to conduct the procedure. Then, their attendants, who are nurses, ascertain that you fully know what you’re getting yourself into (not in a threatening way) and make sure that you fully comprehend the procedure and what to expect, which was very nice (even if I already knew everything she said before going there), in short a very good informed consent. Next, they will clean the area up. Pulse it (This time it felt like being flicked by a rubber band because I had hair). They gave two shots per underarm. (They might have given more shots if I paid more for the deal). Anyway, then for the whitening treatment, they gave was it three or four shots per underarm, which was not painful, as opposed to the two previous shots. The whitening cream was then applied at the end.
6. Reminders- Make sure that you read about IPL, and that there are certain conditions where you cannot have the treatment, such as: 
a)      if you have red/blonde hair,
b)      if your complexion is dark to very dark
c)      taken certain meds like Tretinoin etc. (You better read about this in another place)
d)      also before treatment you should: not have plucked/waxed the body part to be treated, and also make sure (according to the staff) that you should have hair left in that area during the treatment.

      7. The Fine Print- No hidden charges! The first coupon I bought that didn’t have hidden charges.^^
      8. The Results- I can’t say. Probably , I will see it after all the treatments are done.


IN GENERAL- A very good deal indeed! I would recommend the place to the people near the location. And as opposed to IPL’s price in other places, I would say that it is worth the pay. ^^

NOTE: I have no intention of helping or harming the establishments that I have posted on my blog. I just genuinely want other people to know what they are paying for and what to expect. I highly encourage other people to blog, because I depended on a lot of blogs and forums so that I would know what I’m doing and paying for.
