Why Remove Underarm Hair ?

The main motivation for underarm hair removal is aesthetics, but it also has practical benefits :

  • Reduced moisture : Removing hair can minimize underarm sweat.
  • Decreased body odor : Body odor is caused by bacteria breaking down sweat. Smooth, hair-free underarms trap fewer bacteria, allowing soaps and deodorants to work more effectively, leaving you feeling fresher for longer.

Preparation Before an Underarm Laser Hair Removal Session

To prepare your skin for an underarm laser hair removal session, follow these recommendations :

  • Avoid tanning : Although this area is naturally protected due to its anatomical position, avoid sun exposure for at least three weeks before treatment and throughout the course of sessions.
  • Discontinue self-tanning products : Stop using tanning activators or self-tanning creams on the treatment area at least 15 days before the session.
  • Avoid deodorant before the session.
  • Refrain from waxing or plucking : To optimize results and minimize irritation, do not use any hair removal methods that involve pulling out the hair during the treatment.

Laser treatment is performed on shaved skin. Shave the area the day before the session. You may also use depilatory cream or scissors instead of shaving.
