Benefits of Underarm Laser Treatment
Maximum Hygiene
Underarm hair traps sweat and bacteria, which is the primary cause of body odor. Laser treatment significantly reduces hair density, keeping you cleaner and fresher for longer.
Stop the Itch & Rash
Shaving the sensitive underarm area often leads to itchy regrowth, red bumps, and razor burn. Laser hair removal eliminates friction and leaves the skin calm and smooth.
Workout Comfort
Whether you're lifting weights or running, excess hair can cause uncomfortable chafing. A smooth underarm area reduces friction and makes applying deodorant more effective.
Prevents Sweat Patches
Thick hair holds onto moisture, leading to visible sweat patches on shirts. Reducing the hair allows sweat to evaporate faster, keeping your clothes drier.
Zero Maintenance
Forget the daily shower shave or messy trimming routine. Laser treatment offers a long-term solution that saves you time and effort every single week.
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.
Underarm Protocol
- NO Deodorant: This is critical. You must arrive with clean skin free of any deodorant, antiperspirant, or cologne. Residue can absorb laser energy and cause skin burns.
- Shave 24 Hours Prior: Please carefully shave your underarms the day before your appointment. This prevents surface hair from singeing and ensures the energy targets the follicle root.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: While less common for underarms, avoid sunbeds or tanning in sleeveless tops for 2 weeks prior. Tanned skin increases the risk of pigmentation changes.
- Skip the Gym Beforehand: Arrive with cool, dry skin. A heavy workout immediately before treatment raises body temperature and blood flow, making the procedure feel more sensitive.
- Stop Waxing/Plucking: Do not wax, epilate, or tweeze underarm hair for 4 weeks before your session. The root must be present for the laser to work.
- Skip Deodorant for 24-48 Hours: Avoid applying deodorant or antiperspirant for at least 24 hours (48 is ideal) to prevent irritation. If needed, use a sensitive, aloe-based soothing gel instead.
- No Gym or Sweating: Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours. The underarm area is prone to trapping bacteria; sweating can lead to infection or red bumps (folliculitis).
- Loose Clothing: Wear a loose cotton t-shirt after your session. Tight synthetic shirts can cause friction against the treated area, leading to discomfort.
- Cool Showers Only: Avoid hot showers for 48 hours. Use lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing the underarms aggressively with loofahs or rough sponges.
- Shedding Phase: You may notice hair appearing to "grow" after a week. This is actually the dead hair shedding from the follicle. Gently exfoliate in the shower to help it fall out.
Underarm FAQs
- Yes. Body odor is largely caused by bacteria breaking down sweat that is trapped in hair.
- By removing the hair, sweat evaporates more quickly and bacteria have less surface area to cling to, often resulting in a fresher feeling.
- Underarm skin can be sensitive, but the treatment is very quick—usually under 15 minutes.
- Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to a rubber band, which is immediately soothed by our device's cooling tip.
- Yes, laser hair removal is actually most effective on coarse, dark hair because it absorbs the laser energy better.
- Men often see significant reduction very quickly because of the thickness of the hair follicle in this area.
- You must avoid wearing deodorant to your appointment, as residue can block the laser or irritate the skin.
- After treatment, we recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before applying antiperspirant to allow the skin to calm down.
