Underarm Laser Hair Removal
Perhaps one of the MOST effective areas for laser hair removal is the underarms due to the lack of sun tanned skin. Many of my patients have rejoiced at not having to shave their underarms on a regular basis. Rough stubble and razor burn are a thing of the past with laser hair removal. I have also had reports of needing less deodorant after the underarms have been treated a few times with the laser.
Remember, the best candidate for effective laser hair removal is light skin with dark hair. Blond and gray hair are not good targets for the laser energy. Although tanned skin is rarely a problem with underarms, sun tanned skin is prone to discoloration (hypo and hyper pigmentation) so avoid the sun and tanning beds prior to treatment.
The area must be shaved prior to treatment and free of any deodorant, lotions, or moisturizers . Please use an antibacterial soap to thoroughly clean the area prior to your treatment.
