Introduction: Sugaring vs Laser Hair Removal
In my role as an Aesthetic Director, I’ve had the privilege of guiding many young adults in Singapore through their aesthetic journeys. A common dilemma they face is choosing between sugaring and laser hair removal. Both methods have their unique advantages and cater to different needs and preferences.
Sugaring is an ancient technique that uses a natural paste. It’s gentle and suits sensitive skin well. Many prefer it for its natural approach and skin-friendly benefits. Meanwhile, laser hair removal uses concentrated light for a longer-lasting solution to unwanted hair. It’s especially good for permanent hair growth reduction.
In the detailed article that follows, I will delve into the specifics of each method, comparing their effectiveness, comfort levels, and long-term results. This comparison will be particularly beneficial for those in their 20s and 30s in Singapore, who are often looking for efficient and effective beauty solutions.
“Sugaring may be a sweet solution to hair removal, but laser treatments provide long-term results with less effort.”
Sugaring: Hair-Free the Natural Way
Get Sweetly Smooth Skin with Sugaring Hair Removal
Sugaring is an ancient hair removal method really comparable to waxing. It is thought to have actually been among the very first hair elimination treatments ever utilized, as it had its origins in ancient Persia where it had actually been used since 1900 BC. It is still used worldwide today. Expert sugaring paste is made with 100 % natural active ingredients, and there is no heat needed in the process, so it is believed to be gentler than regular waxing.
Sugaring vs. Waxing
Sugaring is done by spreading a ball of sugaring paste versus the skin and versus the direction of hair development, then snapping the paste with the instructions of hair growth. In this sense, it’s the opposite to waxing. Sugaring paste is eco-friendly and safe, due to the fact that this concoction does not reproduce germs and the exact same ball of paste can be used throughout the procedure, so you’ll save on material.
The clean-up is likewise really simple because this paste is water soluble. While sugaring can be done in your home, we suggest getting it done by a licensed aesthetician at a correct centre, and with expert products.
Why Sugaring is a Great Alternative to Plucking
Over time, plucking can damage the hair follicle and lead to decreased hair growth. Sugaring, on the other hand, can actually make the hair that does grow back thinner, finer, and sparser. However, in order for the sugar to be able to capture the hairs, you’ll need about an eighth- to a quarter-inch of hair growth. So, you’ll need to be okay with a little bit of fuzz in between appointments.
Anyone Can Try Sugaring
Regardless of your skin and hair type, you can most definitely try sugaring. It works on most body parts such as armpits, arms, and legs, among others. However, sugaring can be harder on the face because it’s harder to be exact with the shaping. While almost anybody can get sugaring done on many parts of the body, some medications might prevent you from being sugared. Additionally, there are a few small stipulations to being sugared, such as no tanning within 24 hours, and no working-out (sweating) after your appointment.
Sugaring lasts for about Three to Five Weeks
If you’re tired of constantly shaving or waxing, sugaring might be the hair removal method for you. Unlike other hair removal options, sugaring uses a paste made of all-natural ingredients and is considered to be gentler on the skin. This method uses a paste made of all-natural ingredients and is considered to be much gentler on the skin than other hair removal options.
Benefits of Sugaring
- Long-lasting results: Sugaring can keep your skin smooth for around 3 to 5 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate and the location of the area being sugared.
- Decreased hair growth over time: Sugaring can even reduce hair growth, which means less hair to remove each time you book a session.
Tips for Optimal Results
- Regular upkeep: We recommend booking appointments every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain smooth skin.
- Aftercare: After your sugaring session, make sure to wear loose clothing and avoid high heat environments like saunas and hot tubs to prevent irritation.
So, say goodbye to constantly shaving and waxing, and hello to smooth, hair-free skin with sugaring.

Degree of Pain for Sugaring and Laser Hair Removal
The Myth-Busting Truth About Shaving
Surprise! The idea that shaving between laser treatments is forbidden? It’s a hairy myth! Despite popular belief, shaving doesn’t disrupt hair growth or cause a forest of ingrown hairs and irritation. In fact, dermatologists and skin care professionals aren’t just giving it the green light; they’re practically handing you the razor. Why? Shaving can actually improve the effectiveness of laser treatment. Now that’s a smooth fact!
Shaving: A Laser’s Best Friend
When it comes to laser treatments, shaving is like the backup dancer that makes the star shine even brighter. By ensuring the treated area is free of extra follicles, each pulse of the laser becomes a precision dance move, targeting individual hairs with the grace of a ballerina. It’s like giving the laser room to do its cha-cha, allowing it to focus on more hairs simultaneously and avoiding that awkward tangle of multiple hairs growing at different rates.
The Smooth Benefits of Timely Hair Removal
Feel like an encore? Shaving between sessions not only keeps your skin ready for its next laser dance but ensures that all hair follicles are targeted and destroyed with impeccable timing. It’s like a well-rehearsed dance routine where every step is perfectly coordinated. Plus, by preventing any overlapping of pulses on previously treated areas, you avoid those missteps that can lead to irritation. So grab that razor and keep the rhythm going, your skin will thank you with a standing ovation!
Can you Sugar while doing a Laser or IPL/ SHR Hair Removal?
IPL, SHR and Laser hair removal are great hair elimination techniques because they cause permanent hair reduction of as much as 98%. Specially if your hair is dark and you do not experience hormone imbalances, you should attempt laser, SHR or IPL. Costs are now so inexpensive that for only a few more dollars you can be rid of hair completely. Nevertheless, because of the development cycle of the hair you need several treatments, about 6 to 8, and they are spaced every 6 weeks. So, how do you deal with the hair in between treatments?
Shaving as an Alternative to Sugaring Before IPL or Laser Hair Removal
Unfortunately there are no research studies of the effectiveness of IPL or Laser hair elimination when combined with frequent sugaring and till then I would err in the side of caution. Unless you don’t mind the extra expense of extra IPL or Laser sessions if so happens the combination with sugaring doesn’t work, We would advise you to shave in between treatments and wait at least 4 weeks after sugaring to begin treatment.
