1. What is laser hair removal?
Permanent laser hair removal is a method that uses laser light to target the hair roots, burn and destroy the hair follicles without affecting the skin.
For permanent laser hair removal, you need 6 to 8 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart. The treatment results will be more obvious on the 3rd treatment, the hair grows less and becomes sparser.
This is a fairly common method of hair removal. However, laser only works with white skin and dark hair such as black, brown hair... With hair with lighter colors such as red, yellow, the laser cannot capture melanin to destroy them.
2. Benefits of laser armpit hair removal
Underarm hair removal will bring some of the following benefits:
- Limit underarm sweating: Armpit hair often traps sweat and moisture, making the armpit area easy to sweat. So if the armpit hair is treated cleanly, the armpit area is also less sweaty in hot weather.
- Reduce body odor: Excessive sweating, accumulation of many bacteria often causes unpleasant body odor. Permanent underarm hair removal will significantly reduce body odor. Along with that, you should wash with soap to help unclog pores and help the body clean.
- More confident when wearing clothes: The skin under the arms is not perfect, making you self-conscious when wearing a shirt or dress, close to the armpit. Permanent armpit hair removal will help you regain your confidence without sweat or body odor caused by armpit hair, as well as being comfortable when choosing your favorite outfits.
During laser hair removal, you may feel slight pain. However, compared to other hair removal methods, laser hair removal is less painful.
In general, the side effects of laser hair removal are negligible. Some possible side effects of laser hair removal such as swelling, redness, changes in skin color (lightening or tanning).
To ensure safety as well as prevent possible side effects, you should go to a hospital or reputable facility to perform the procedure. It is advisable to discuss with a specialist or dermatologist for more information before making a decision.
4. Skin care after laser hair removal
After the procedure, the skin is usually red and swollen, but this usually subsides after a few hours. You should maintain a gentle and simple aftercare routine: Apply ice to relieve pain and swelling if needed, clean with a gentle cleanser and follow with moisturizer.
In addition, for underarm hair removal, after hair removal, you should wear a sleeveless shirt to avoid sun exposure. You should also avoid exercising after your laser hair removal session as it can further irritate your skin.
