Why Epimo

Gentle IPL & glowing skin, Japanese-style care

IPL hair removal and photofacial in BGC — gentle, effective and low-pain. The Japanese part is the care: clean, private and fully by appointment, so you're never kept waiting.

1

Hair removal + IPL skincare

Beyond hair removal, our IPL skincare targets acne, redness, dark spots and dullness.

2

Gentler than wax, less painful than laser

IPL is the lowest-pain method and keeps skin smooth the longest — no rip, no recovery. Today's machines hit far harder than IPL's old weak reputation.

3

No waiting — by appointment

Booked time slots only, so you're seen on schedule and never left waiting.

Ryoko Kai, Epimo Beauty Supervisor — why we opened in Manila · 47s · EN subtitles
"Back in Japan I tried laser, IPL and shaving — IPL was the gentlest and the best fit for me. Today's IPL machines have improved so much that the results really show. I'd love for people here in the Philippines to feel that too."

great so-so downside

IPL/SHR is for long-term hair reduction, not instant or guaranteed permanent removal. It isn't medical treatment — for darker skin tones we always patch-test first and advise honestly.

Why multiple sessions?

Hair grows in cycles — so timing matters

IPL/SHR only treats a hair while it's in its active growth (anagen) phase. At any moment only some of your hairs are growing — the rest are resting or shedding. Spacing sessions a few weeks apart lets each treatment catch a new batch of hairs at the right time, which is why one visit can't do it all.

Hair growth cycle — early anagen, anagen (recommended timing for hair removal), catagen, telogen, exogen
Hair removal works best during the anagen (growth) phase — only part of your hair is there at any one time.

~3

sessions

Hairs begin to shed and regrowth slows — it comes back finer, softer and a little patchy.

~6

sessions

A clear, visible difference — noticeably less hair and slower, lighter regrowth.

~12

sessions

Most people reach smooth, consistently clear skin in that area.

A general guide only — the number of sessions and results vary by individual, area, and hair type.

Skin, the Japanese way

Brighter, clearer skin — same gentle light

Many women come for skin and hair. The same IPL helps the look of dark spots, redness, dullness and acne marks — you pick one concern per session and we fit the filter matched to it, often in the same visit as hair removal. (On legs, clearing the hair itself also softens the dark-dot look of ‘strawberry skin’.)

Why the light “knows” where to go

IPL sends a gentle, broad-spectrum pulse of light into the skin. It isn’t aimed by hand — instead, the darker and redder spots simply absorb more of it than the skin around them.

  • 1Dark spots (melanin) soak up the light and gently heat; over a few sessions sun spots and freckles can break up and gradually fade. (Some pigment, like melasma, responds less predictably.)
  • 2Redness (hemoglobin) in tiny surface vessels takes up the light, so visible flushing and blotchiness settle and look calmer.
  • 3Deeper warmth reaches the dermis — the setting we use for firmness. Skin often looks smoother and pores more refined.

Because clear, untanned skin absorbs far less light, the treatment stays gentle while still working on the marks. Suitability depends on your skin tone — we check this and patch-test first, and it works best on untanned skin (avoid sun before & after and wear daily SPF). A gradual cosmetic treatment; individual results vary.

Even, brighter tone

Light targets melanin to soften dark spots, sun spots and dullness.

Calmer redness

Gently settles visible redness and blotchiness for clearer-looking skin.

Smoother texture, refined pores

The deeper setting warms the dermis. On the surface, skin often looks smoother and pores less obvious.

One filter, one concern

Our IPL carries eleven dedicated filters, 430nm to 1200nm. Each one passes a different band of light, so each is suited to a different target — the brown of a sun spot, the red of a surface vessel, the deeper warmth used for firmness. At your skin check you name the concern you want worked on, we fit the single filter matched to it, and the whole session runs on that.

Why not blend two?

The machine takes one filter at a time — so rather than split a session and dilute both, we give the concern you chose the full visit.

More than one concern?

We work through them one session at a time, usually starting with whatever bothers you most, and re-check as your skin changes.

Pace & packages

Skin sessions every 2–4 weeks; hair removal every 3–4 weeks on the face, 4–8 on the body. A session applies to hair removal or one skin treatment, so one package covers both.

Targeted IPL Facial — 1 session ₱2,400 · 3 sessions ₱6,480 (−10%) · 6 sessions ₱11,520 (−20%). One filter, matched to the one concern you pick for that session. A gradual cosmetic treatment; individual results vary. See full pricing →

Before you book — answered honestly

No overpromises. Just what you can really expect.

Does it hurt? Is it gentler than wax or laser?+

Most clients feel only a brief warmth or a light snap — gentler than waxing and generally less painful than laser, with no rip and no downtime. Our SHR mode is built for comfort and we tune the settings to your skin and the area treated.

Can I treat underarms, bikini line (VIO) and face?+

Yes — these are some of our most-requested areas. Every session is one-on-one in a private room, with careful draping for intimate areas, and we never photograph your face. We'll talk through what's right for you at your skin check.

Is it permanent?+

IPL is designed for long-term hair reduction. Most people need several sessions, and occasional maintenance keeps results looking their best. Results vary from person to person.

Is my session private and discreet?+

Yes — every treatment is one-on-one in a private room, fully by appointment so there's no waiting or overlap with other clients. We never photograph your face.

Is it safe for my skin tone?+

We assess your skin and hair before treatment and choose settings accordingly, starting with a patch test. Some skin and hair types may not be suitable — we'll always tell you honestly.

Can it also help my skin — spots, redness, pores?+

Yes. Our Targeted IPL Facial works on dark spots, redness, dullness, acne marks and the look of enlarged or ‘strawberry’ pores — one concern per session, treated with the single filter matched to it, often in the same visit as hair removal. It's a gradual cosmetic treatment, and results vary from person to person.

Will I be pressured to buy a package?+

No. The ₱500 trial needs no membership. We'll show you package options and full prices only if you ask — the decision is always yours.

How soon will I see results?+

Most clients notice a change after 2–3 sessions, with more noticeable reduction around session 4–5. Hair grows in cycles, so consistency matters — results vary by person and area.

Will my hair grow back thicker?+

No — SHR doesn't make hair thicker. Over a course of treatment, regrowth tends to come back finer, softer and lighter as the follicles weaken.
