How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light that is absorbed by the pigment in each hair. The light turns to heat in the follicle, damaging it so it can no longer produce hair, while the surrounding skin is protected. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of treatments catches each follicle in its active growth phase.

Underarm Laser Hair Removal
Underarms are one of our most popular areas. Treatments take only minutes, and smooth results mean no more daily shaving, razor burn or ingrown hairs.
What to Expect
Shave the area the day before your appointment, and avoid waxing, plucking and sun exposure for several weeks beforehand. During treatment, cooling helps keep you comfortable; most patients describe each pulse as a quick snap. Small areas like the upper lip take minutes, while larger areas like the back or legs take up to an hour.
There is no downtime. Mild redness or bumps can last a few hours. Treated hair sheds over one to two weeks. Most patients need 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with occasional touch-ups after that.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Laser hair removal works on most skin types. It is most effective on dark hair, because the laser targets pigment; very light blonde, gray or red hair may not respond. Your provider will review your skin and hair at your consultation.
