Underarm darkness and chicken skin (keratosis pilaris) are common problems for many women. These issues can make you feel less confident, especially when raising your arms, and can lead to whispers and gossip from those around you. Laser hair removal is definitely a better option compared to waxing or shaving. It helps remove the hair quickly, and if done consistently over several sessions, the hair will eventually disappear completely. You can be assured that with proper treatment, your underarms will become smooth, white, and more radiant.
Underarm laser hair removal
This treatment is ideal for those who want permanent hair removal, smooth skin, and reduced chicken skin (keratosis pilaris), as well as for individuals dealing with ingrown hairs. It helps achieve long-lasting results, leaving the skin soft, even, and free from hair regrowth.
Laser operation
The laser works by penetrating deep into the hair follicle, where the melanin pigment in the hair absorbs the laser energy. This energy is then converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicle cells, causing them to shrink and die. The process is safe and causes no damage to the surrounding skin, ensuring an effective hair removal solution. It also helps prevent the regrowth of new hair, offering long-lasting results.
Post-armpit laser hair removal instructions
- Apply aloe vera gel or cold gel to the treated area under the arms to soothe the skin.
- The skin in the armpit area may feel warm or dry. You can apply a moisturizer to keep it hydrated.
- Avoid direct exposure to intense sunlight and use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
- After the laser treatment, the skin may appear slightly red, but this will fade within 30 minutes to 1 hour, so there’s no need to worry.
