Underarm laser hair removal

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.

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.

Dr. Aimé offers permanent underarm hair removal for all skin types using advanced lasers such as the Gentle Max Pro, which combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG technologies.

The number of sessions required is personalized based on the patient’s skin type (phototype) and hair density. These advanced lasers ensure tailored and long-lasting results in a comfortable setting.

• Quick and comfortable treatment : Sessions are brief, thanks to air-cooling technology and the application of a soothing cream at the end of each session.
• Session intervals : Sessions are spaced 5 to 6 weeks apart to align with the hair growth cycle in this area.

To minimize side effects and optimize results, adhere to the following aftercare guidelines :

• Apply a soothing cream to reduce redness.
• Avoid sun exposure.
• Keep the skin hydrated.
• Do not apply deodorant immediately after the session.

Between sessions:

• Avoid plucking hair with mechanical methods such as waxing, tweezing, or using an epilator.
• A week after the session, you may notice what appears to be regrowth. This is actually the treated hair shedding naturally.

Pricing for underarm laser hair removal is determined during your first consultation with Dr. Aimé. The cost depends on the size and complexity of the area to be treated.

• The average price for a session is €110 including VAT.
