IPL (Intensed Pulse Light) Treatment : An Effort to Look Normal

As I could still remember, I started shaving (moustache) when I was in standard 5. I know, DON'T DO THIS AT HOME! I guess this the point where I started growing thicker and VERY coarse facial hair. Being the only child in the family with this abnormal hair growth, I do feel different in a horrible way. Being the only one with curly hair, darker skin hair tone, and even thicker eye brow. hummpphh..I grew up hating my self as I'm different from others. My friends did not shave when they were in primary school. By the time I entered high school, I knew what is a 3D TITANIUM-close shave razor blade, shaving gel/foam, after shave balm. but I did -.-' SIGHS

The worst part is that I have to spend half an hour in the toilet just to do the shaving job. And I have to wake up early just to SHAVE!! before going to school.

Nevertheless I've never thought of getting this facial hair off permanently. So, my mum was the one responsible to bring this wind of change. A friend of our uncle, operates a clinic in Ampang specialised in cosmetic surgery. Hence she proposed the idea of IPL ( Intensed Pulse Light) Treatment. At first I liked it, and then I started to doubt. How would a man look without facial hair. The images of hunk Hollywood actors star started flashing on my mind..

*with awe*

I even thought of the possibility of ending up like in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".Seriously this guy grows up against the normal cycle of ageing. So being hair-less in my then-older days, wouldn't it then make me look oddly younger?

Of course, I would not turn out to be a baby and die in the end -.-' (i'm still sane)

Alright, I've been on unshaven mode for 3 days and this is how it turned out to be..

And yes i decided to have the IPL treatment done eventually. Despite the recommendation made by the doctor to only do it on my neck and cheek part so that I could leave my moustache and beard grow, I whole-heartedly insisted on having all my facial hair removed.. *with tears*

At the beginning, I felt some pinching on my skin, but as it continued for the next 20 minutes, I swear that it hurts! especially when the light reaches parts of your thin skin embedded with more receptors. Btw, that's Doctor Amir. Anyways, the doctor said that I experienced more pain as compared to my sister (my sister also underwent the same procedure) because I'm darker than her. -.-' This IPL treatment works by the absorption of the light by one's pigment. That is to say, the level of efficiency is also in accordance with your skin tone. The darker you are the more efficiency the treatment is, and the MORE pain you'll suffer.

After those 20 minutes intensive session of literally SHOOTING my face, i then open my goggles and found up tears coming out. What a shame! haha it was pain really and the doctor kept on saying no pain no gain, beauty is pain. Deep down there in my heart quietly whispering; SHUT your fucking mouth up!

There are 4 more sessions that I have to undergo and endure! God help me, I wish it wouldn't be that pain anymore. Have some mercy on puh-lease. And yes i purposely did not upload the post-treatment picture. Stay tuned!

Well, that's about it. It's my second entry and I don't know if I've been too forthright, but I just wana share with you peeps, and that's the only intention! Cya
