Benefits of Underarm Laser Treatment
Eliminate Dark Shadows
Say goodbye to the "5 o'clock shadow" under your arms. Laser removes the dark hair root beneath the skin, leaving the area looking brighter and cleaner.
Banish Ingrown Hairs
Underarms are prone to painful bumps from shaving. Laser treatment permanently destroys the follicle, eliminating ingrown hairs for good.
Silky Smooth Texture
Achieve a smooth, soft texture without the stubble or roughness caused by daily razor use. Feel confident in sleeveless tops.
Improved Hygiene
Less hair means less surface area for bacteria to trap sweat and odor, leading to a fresher feeling throughout the day.
Saves Time & Money
Stop buying razors and booking waxing appointments. Invest in a permanent solution that saves you time in your daily shower routine.
Your Journey to Smooth Skin
Consultation
Your journey begins with a bespoke consultation. We assess your skin and hair type, discuss your medical history, and tailor the optimal laser settings to ensure safe, effective, and radiant results.
Preparation
The area to be treated will be cleansed and prepared. While we recommend shaving 24 hours prior, we ensure the skin is perfectly prepped. Protective eyewear is provided to ensure your safety throughout the procedure.
Laser Application
Our advanced laser technology is adjusted to your specific hair density and skin tone. The light energy targets the pigment in the follicles, effectively inhibiting future growth while leaving the surrounding skin untouched.
Cooling & Comfort
Comfort is paramount at Rose Hill. Following the laser application, integrated cooling technology or a soothing gel is applied to calm the skin instantly, reducing redness and ensuring a pleasant experience.
After-Care
Post-treatment care is vital. We apply a soothing aloe vera gel to promote healing. We advise avoiding direct sun exposure and using high SPF protection for two weeks to maintain the health and radiance of your skin.
Repeat Sessions
To achieve a permanently smooth beardline, multiple sessions are required. These are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, targeting hair follicles during their active growth cycle for maximum effectiveness.
Before & After Treatment
- Shave 24h Before: Please shave your underarms completely 24 hours prior to your appointment. This allows the laser to target the follicle beneath the skin rather than surface hair.
- No Deodorant: Arrive with completely clean underarms. Do not apply deodorant, antiperspirant, powders, or lotions on the day of your treatment as they block laser energy.
- Stop Waxing: Discontinue waxing, plucking, or epilating at least 4 weeks before your session. The hair follicle must be intact for the laser to work effectively.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: While less common for underarms, avoid tanning beds or direct sun exposure (if wearing sleeveless tops) for 2 weeks prior to treatment.
- Loose Clothing: Wear a loose-fitting or sleeveless top to your appointment to avoid friction on the treated area immediately after the session.
- Skip Deodorant: Avoid applying deodorant or antiperspirant for at least 24 hours post-treatment, as the chemicals can irritate the open follicles.
- Avoid Heat & Sweat: Steer clear of hot showers, saunas, and heavy gym sessions for 48 hours. Sweat and heat can harbor bacteria and cause inflammation in the treated area.
- Loose Fabrics: Continue wearing loose, breathable cotton clothing for 1-2 days to prevent friction and allow the skin to breathe.
- Cool Compress: If the area feels tender or warm, apply a cool compress or Aloe Vera gel to soothe redness. Do not pick at the skin.
- Exfoliate Later: Wait 5-7 days before using a gentle scrub. This helps the treated hair shed from the follicle and prevents ingrown hairs.
- Yes! The dark shadow often seen under the arms is caused by dark hair roots visible beneath the skin's surface.
- By destroying the follicle, laser removal eliminates these roots, leaving the underarm skin looking significantly lighter and clearer.
- No. Your underarms must be completely clean and free of deodorant, antiperspirant, or lotions.
- Residue from these products can block the laser light or cause skin irritation during the treatment.
- The underarm is a sensitive area, so you may feel a warm snapping sensation.
- However, because the area is small, the treatment is very fast (approx. 10 minutes), and our cooling technology keeps discomfort to a minimum.
- Laser hair removal targets hair follicles, not sweat glands, so it does not stop sweating.
- However, many clients report feeling fresher and cleaner because there is no hair to trap sweat and odor-causing bacteria.
