AFT Hair Removal: Advanced Light-Based Precision
AFT hair removal (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) is a light-based treatment designed to reduce unwanted hair with greater comfort and precision compared to traditional IPL. It works by delivering low-energy pulses at high frequency, which helps minimize discomfort while effectively targeting hair follicles over a series of sessions. Suitable for areas like the underarms, legs, bikini line, and face, AFT hair removal in Singapore is often chosen for its ability to treat a range of skin types, including sensitive skin. Over time, many notice finer, slower regrowth and fewer ingrown hairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AFT hair removal?
AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) is a next-generation light-based treatment that offers a safer, more comfortable alternative to traditional IPL. It’s designed to deliver consistent, low-energy pulses at high frequencies, making AFT hair removal in Singapore an effective solution for long-term hair reduction with minimal discomfort.
How is AFT different from IPL?
Unlike IPL, AFT uses a narrower light wave range for precise follicle targeting, making it more effective even on fine hair. With even energy distribution, AFT reduces the risk of burns and discomfort compared to older light technologies.
Is AFT hair removal painful?
AFT is known for being a painless hair removal option. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or light snapping feeling. Because AFT uses lower energy levels spread out over rapid pulses, it’s significantly more comfortable than older light-based technologies.
Is AFT safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, AFT is ideal for hair removal for sensitive skin. The precision of the technology allows for safe use on delicate areas like the face, bikini line, and underarms without causing irritation or damage to surrounding skin.
What areas can be treated with AFT?
AFT hair removal is versatile and can be used on various areas of the body including the face, underarms, arms, legs, back, chest, and bikini line. It’s a popular choice for clients looking for full-body long-term hair reduction.
Are there areas that should not be treated with AFT?
Yes, certain areas should be avoided during AFT hair removal treatments for safety reasons. This includes the eyelids and the skin surrounding the eyes, as well as any tattooed areas. These regions are more sensitive or prone to pigment interference, and treating them could lead to irritation or unintended effects. Our specialists at Strip will assess your skin and ensure that AFT hair removal in Singapore is applied safely and only to appropriate areas.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your hair type, skin tone, and the treatment area. On average, results may be noticeable after 2 sessions, and most clients see noticeable results after 4 to 6 sessions of AFT hair removal. Regular treatments help achieve smoother skin with finer, slower regrowth.
What is the post treatment care?
For the next 24 hours after an AFT treatment:
● No hot baths, swimming or sunbathing
● No tight clothing
● No application of perfumed products including deodorant, antiperspirant, self-tanner or makeup on the treated area
● No scrubbing or rubbing of the treated area to prevent bacterial infection – No intensive exercise
● Do not undergo any heat or UV treatments like sun beds or saunas for at least 4 weeks.
● Apply SCREEN Face or Body Screen daily to protect your skin.
● Apply ICE to calm, protect and moisturise, twice a day for at least 1 week.
● Apply BUMPPS to soothe, treat folliculitis and fight inflammation without drying out the skin.
● No waxing, tweezing or depilating of your hair as AFT hair removal targets the hair follicles, please shave instead.
Is there any downtime after AFT?
AFT treatments typically have minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours. Most clients return to their daily activities immediately.
What should you expect when you arrive for a session?
You will receive a sealed Strip Hygiene Pack that includes a disposable shaver, disposable latex gloves, pre-sealed wet wipes, wooden spatulas, and fresh cotton pads and buds for the application for pre- & post-care products upon checking into Strip. Once you are changed and ready, therapists will carefully shave you and apply a cooling gel to the treatment area. Next, using the Strip AFT Powerpac device, the therapist will direct energy to the skin with the crystal applicator head via smooth circular motions. The sensation is warm and relaxing, almost as if you are having a hot-stone massage. Post-treatment, the therapist will calm the skin of the treated area with a soothing cream, specially formulated to soothe and hydrate skin.
What should I do to prepare for an AFT session?
● Avoid direct sun exposure to the treatment area for at least 5 days prior to the treatment.
● Discontinue the use of tanning creams two weeks before the treatment.
● Avoid bleaching, plucking or waxing hair for six weeks prior to the treatment.
● Avoid waxing, plucking or removing hair by any means other than shaving before and during the course of the treatment plan.
Can I get AFT hair removal done during my period?
Yes, you can still do AFT on most treatment areas during your period, however due to hygiene reasons, we will not be able to perform any Brazilian services during your menstruation.
Is AFT hair removal safe during pregnancy?
While AFT hair removal is generally considered safe for many skin types, it is not recommended during pregnancy as a precaution. Hormonal changes during this time can affect skin sensitivity and pigmentation, making it harder to predict how the skin will react. At Strip, your safety comes first—we advise postponing AFT hair removal in Singapore until after pregnancy. Our therapists can recommend alternative grooming options like painless waxing for expectant clients seeking temporary hair removal solutions.
When is it safe to resume AFT hair removal postpartum?
It is best to consult your gynaecologist before your treatment, but it is generally safe to have a Brazilian AFT Hair Removal 3 months after natural birth or 6 months after caesarean delivery.
What is the post treatment care?
For the next 24 hours after an AFT treatment:
● No hot baths, swimming or sunbathing
● No tight clothing
● No application of perfumed products including deodorant, antiperspirant, self-tanner or makeup on the treated area
● No scrubbing or rubbing of the treated area to prevent bacterial infection – No intensive exercise
● Do not undergo any heat or UV treatments like sun beds or saunas for at least 4 weeks.
● Apply SCREEN Face or Body Screen daily to protect your skin.
● Apply ICE to calm, protect and moisturise, twice a day for at least 1 week.
