I suggest that you opt for laser hair removal -- it's practically painless and the effects are permanent. I believe it depends on how hairy an area is, but 3-4 sessions is the norm, I think.
There are a lot of clinics in SG that does this for sure, you just have to find one with lots of positive reviews. Best be safe if you're gonna trust someone with a laser

Not sure about what is EPL but IPL stands for Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology to perform various skin treatments, including hair removal.

IPL’s are NOT lasers. The machines produce a broad spectrum of wavelengths (like a light bulb) and 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 reduction.
A more shallow penetration in comparison to laser means that deeper, thicker hairs are not treated effectively. In addition, some of the light can be absorbed into the surrounding tissue as well, leading to heating of the pigment in the skin. This is why there is more of a risk of burns for a darker skin type.
Laser machines create more heat directed at the hair follicle than IPL systems, hence achieving better results. Because the heat is absorbed by the follicle, and not the skin, there is a decreased risk of burning when using Laser machines. This also makes Laser a safer option for darker skinned individuals.

i’ve tried IPL before and it didn’t work for me. Was quite expensive as well. I ended up going to get my hair lasered which I found to be much more effective because I no longer need to shave or use hair removal cream the way I used to. Once the hair fell out it never grew back, unlike my experience with IPL. I will say that it does work for some people, just maybe not for me because I guess it differs depending on the coarseness and texture of the hair.
