I found out today that IPL isn't as scary as I thought it'd be.
There's this new place in town called Musee Platinum Tokyo that provides solely IPL services for women only.
I saw this promo and grabbed the chance to give IPL a try. $188 unlimited IPL is really a bargain!! And this is without hidden cost. $188 inclusive of GST and unlimited times for the rest of your life. Unlimited meaning 2 months apart for each session for the 1st 2 years and 3 months apart thereafter for the rest of your life or until all your hair are permanently gone. ;) (promo ends 30 Jun 2010)
Prior to the IPL procedure, it's best to stop shaving a few days before and to avoid alcohol 24 hrs before too.
The procedure was simple and fast. The staff were really friendly and helpful in explaining each step and they didn't hard sell at all.
I have read IPL reviews that mentioned the pain can be compared to ant bites or rubber bands snapping. It was described as "bearable" but I'll say it's almost painless! For a pain-phobic like myself, I'll rate it 1 on the scale of 10! 5-6 zaps each side and it was over. Cooling gel will be applied before the treatment and cooling pads will be given after that too.
The treatment rooms are clean, neat and comforting. Customers will even be given a Musee blue tank top to wear for treatment.
I felt like I got a good deal even after parting with $188 this morning. I was given a mirror as a welcome gift and by quoting another customer's member no., I even got another upper lip treatment for free.
IPL is my new found love. It's way better than waxing! Fuss free, fast and almost painless!
So, if anyone is keen, do quote my member no.: 81005130. You'll get a free upper lip IPL and I'll get to choose from a treatment menu with a growing selection as more people quote my no.
Byebye hair!

Thanks,

Hi Serena,
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to. I have checked with them on my first appointment.
You can just mention the $188 promotion when you call them for a booking.
Cheers! =)
Hi
ReplyDeleteCould you share the results after your 1st session? It's been a week - did the hair grow back?
Tks.
Hi Joy,
ReplyDeleteThe results for myself isn't that obvious after the 1st session. The growth seems somewhat slowly and the skin is definitely smoother.
Waiting for my 2nd session to see some more results! ;)
hi babe, thanks for sharing. will use your member code to get the upper lip IPL.. anyway, do you know if the sessions will solve darkening underarms problem? :(
ReplyDeletehi babe i forgot to ask for your name in order to quote u....
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteYou weren't need my name. But my name is Mei. :)
The therapist said it will help lighten and my Sis feedbacked that it did.
Thanks for quoting my no.!!
hello i have quoted ur member number last thursday :)
ReplyDeletethank you, thank you! =)
ReplyDeleteHi! I'll be quoting your no. for referral. this is my first time and i'm quite nervous coz $188 sounds too good to be true...
ReplyDeletehi i just read this. i will be quoting your no. :) just wondering if there are additional charges.
ReplyDeletehi, may i know the address and number? do they have a website? thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteAdd: P3-13 PARCO 9 Raffles Boulevard Millenium Walk
Tel: 6337-7273
The shop is inside PARCO Millenium, on the gifts and restaurant levels.
I heard their $188 underarm promo is extended until July 2010.
Cheers! =)
This is their website by the way: http://www.musee-pla.asia/
ReplyDeletetill end of july? their website still state june leh. the nearest mrt is raffles place right? how's the treatment so far? good?
ReplyDeleteyup, i read it from the forum and maybe you can give them a call.
ReplyDeletethe results are good so far, hair grows out much slower and is much finer. this only showed after about 2 weeks after treatment.
the nearest MRT is promenade (new circle line or city hall if you prefer the old line), the promenade station is so convenient, the exit is right next to Millenium Walk! ;)
showed abt 2 weeks after treatment? meaning after the first treatment? (:
ReplyDeletedoes it helps to lighten the colour of ur armpit?
what abt the ingrown hair?
wow, i have not started taking the circle line yet. its quite troublesome have to change line right?
yup, about 2 weeks after the 1st treatment, the hair growth is much slower and also finer.
ReplyDeletei think no difference in colour of underarms and i have no ingrown hair. but i suppose if the ingrown is caused by shaving, it may help as i need not shave so often anymore.
and no worries, hope to help and i'll update after my 2nd treatment in early august too! =)
i see, mine like quite jialat lo. finer as in the hair is not so black right? u get what i mean?
ReplyDeleteu have no ingrown hair? omg, so jealous. ingrown hair is actually like those stucked under ur skin right? anyway, by plucking, there will be ingrown hair also right? i heard ppl say that its good. but end up lidat.
actually, what do they mean by unlimited. is every 1 month go for treatment?
btw, is it okay if i email u or something? coz its like easier you see.
hi there,
ReplyDeletefiner as in the hair isn't so thick... and softer. ;)
yup, i heard plucking may cause ingrown, better to shave. BTW, if you go for IPL, you have to shave in between sessions and not pluck your hair.
and form my understanding, "unlimited" means 2 months apart for the 1st year and 3 months apart for the rest of your life. the session has to be at least 3 months apart from the 2nd year onwards.
and sure, if you want to email me, just drop me a message at mei.journey@gmail.com
cheers! =)
Nice to read about your feedback. I am also thinking IPL for legs, so maybe try Regina. Prices seem bit cheaper. Have you have feedback on that? Though Musee seem more established.
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI saw quite a few feedback on flowerpod forum: http://flowerpod.com.sg/forums/IPL-body-hair-t2231.html&st=660&start=660
but I don't know much about Regina except that the shop looks pretty nice.
=)
Nice review. Both should similar, using IPL, Musee as more established.
ReplyDeleteFew review of burn case at Regina.
Hi Mei,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your review, I've decided to try Musee. Went for my consultation at Centerpoint today. Quoted your number. Will be doing my first 2 weeks from now.
Hi Vuvie,
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's really good, no regrets for me and now I am looking forward to my 3rd session whereby I'll do my bikini line too. Hehe...
Hi Mei,
ReplyDeleteI have made a reservation on oct, luckily they said i still can get the promotion price at S$188 (the webby stated promotion valid until end of sep).
So if i reach there on the day, can i still quote yr member no to them? if yes, i will do so.. :D
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteOf course you may! You'll get a free upper lip IPL session too.
Thanks for quoting my number and I hope you'll be happy with their service like me too.

Hi Mei..
ReplyDeleteSo have you done your 4th session of IPL treatment? How's the result so far? Now they are having another promotion, which is instead of $188, it's now $138 unlimited. Do you whether the package is the same?
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI've postponed my 4th session to 20th Dec instead. So, I haven't gone for it. For now, I only need to shave my underarms once every few days.
I saw the $138 promo and think it's the same as the $188 one.
Did you sign up with Musee? If so, do quote my membership no.: 81005130 to enjoy a free upper lip IPL. ;)
Hi Mei,
ReplyDeleteI have left a comment before :) have used your membership no. for a free upper lip treatment. :)
Thanks so much!
Anyway, I was quite intrigued by some of the posts on your blog. If you are free to come down to watch a performance at Trinity Christian Centre, do drop by! It's called Christmas Cantata (23 or 24 Dec) 8pm.
Hi Jojo,
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just went for my 2nd full Brazilian session today and will be updating my blog soon.
And thanks for the invitation. I may just pop by with my bf if i'm free on the 23rd Dec. ;)
Cheers!

Cheers!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI've just booked a consultation appointment. And I'll be quoting your member number?!
Thank You(=
Thank you thank you! =)
ReplyDeleteHi Mei,
ReplyDeleteYour review is great! (: Do you know if there are any dangers associated with IPL? Does Musee Platinum require parental consent for customers below 21?
Btw, when should I quote your membership number? Is it during the consultation or when I sign up for the package?
Thanks for the info! (:
Cheers,
Corrine
Hi, I've quoted your no. as well. Just to inform u (:
ReplyDeleteHi чапριпg,
ReplyDeleteThank you! =)
Hi Corrine,
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't know whether you'll require parental consent or not. Why not give them a call at 6337 7273?
As for quoting of the membership, you can do so when you sign up.
Cheers! =)
HiHi,
ReplyDeleteI will also be quoting you too:) Thanks for the reviews :) I used to pay so much more for my IPLs. I will also continue to share my reviews on my blog when I try out their services. :)
Thank you Bling Queen FuFu! =)
ReplyDeleteWhat's the age limit for The underarm treatment ?
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI really don't know. Maybe 18 or 21? Call them up dear! ;)
