If you are self-conscious about underarm hair when wearing sleeveless tops or exercising in the summer, you might consider laser hair removal. When looking into underarm laser hair removal, it is recommended to check the price, the number of sessions required, and precautions before and after treatment.

Today, I will summarize everything from the principles of underarm laser hair removal to the price, frequency, recommended number of sessions, and precautions after the procedure.

1. Principles and Characteristics of Underarm Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a laser to remove desired hair from specific areas of the skin. The principle is that the laser is absorbed by the black melanin pigment in the hair follicle, converted into thermal energy, and this thermal energy destroys the follicle, preventing body hair from growing back.

 

- Clarity II Features

Maypure reportedly performs laser hair removal using Clarity II. Clarity II is said to have the following features.

 

1) Powerful cooling effect

It is said that there is less pain during the procedure because it has a built-in cooling system.

 

2) Relatively short procedure time

It is said that because it is a non-contact laser device, the treatment time is short, allowing for quick hair removal.

 

3) Minimize skin damage

It is said that hair removal is possible while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin because it selectively destroys only the hair follicles.

3. Underarm hair removal cycle and frequency

If you are considering underarm laser hair removal, you are likely wondering about the treatment cycle and number of sessions. It is recommended to receive at least 10 to 15 sessions for all areas at intervals of 4 to 8 weeks.

Underarm hair tends to respond well to lasers because it is relatively thick and dark, but the number of sessions required may vary depending on hair density and skin color.

4. Advantages of underarm laser hair removal

1) Reduces the burden of repetitive shaving

It is said that consistent treatment can lengthen the hair growth cycle and reduce thickness and density, which can help reduce the frequency of shaving.

 

2) Reduces shaving irritation and cuts

Frequent razor use can irritate the skin or cause stinging and redness. It is said that reducing the frequency of shaving through laser hair removal can also reduce repetitive physical irritation.

 

3) Short procedure time

It is said that the underarms can be treated in a relatively short amount of time because the treatment area is not large.

5. Precautions After Underarm Laser Hair Removal

It is recommended to follow the following precautions after underarm laser hair removal.

 

1) Avoid hot environments

It is recommended to avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths on the day of the procedure, as heat and sweat can irritate sensitive skin.

 

2) Avoid skin irritation

It is said that you should avoid irritating the skin, such as scratching or scrubbing, during the process of flaking or hair loss.

 

3) Use sunscreen

Although the underarms are not usually a part of the body heavily exposed to sunlight, you should be careful about UV exposure when wearing sleeveless tops or engaging in outdoor activities. Therefore, it is recommended to use sunscreen.

6. Q&A

1) Is underarm hair removal effective after just one session?

Even after a single treatment, you may notice some hair falling out or a slower growth rate. However, since not all hair is removed in a single session, we recommend receiving repeated treatments at regular intervals.

 

2) Does laser hair removal also remove hyperpigmentation?

Laser hair removal is a procedure designed to reduce hair growth, so its primary purpose is not to improve pigmentation. However, reducing irritation caused by repeated shaving can make the skin appear smoother. If you already have severe pigmentation, it is advisable to consult a doctor to determine if separate pigmentation treatment is necessary.
