Six to eight underarm treatments are necessary, with six weeks between each session, so that each follicle may be targeted at the correct time in its development cycle. They take between 5 and 10 minutes in terms of real laser zapping time.
Laser hair removal is effective and safe for armpit hair. Underarm skin may be sensitive but laser hair removal is quite light on your skin, and there is minimal discomfort during or after the process. Using laser hair removal for underarms is a permanent solution if done properly.
Some patients may feel slight discomfort, which has been compared to snapping a rubber band against the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by our patented Dynamic Cooling Device™. Be sure to talk this over with your practitioner.
Yes! Many laser hair removal treatments don’t cater to all skin types, but there’s a Gentle Hair Removal treatment that’s right for you, regardless of your skin tone. Check out the infographic below to discover your skin type, so you can talk to your practitioner about which gentle treatment is right for you.
After your laser hair removal treatment, protect your skin from sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF 30 or above). In the first few days after treatment, don’t scrub or rinse the treated areas with abrasive skin cleansers or body/facial scrubs. Your practitioner/nurse may advise additional precautions.
