Underarm Laser Hair Removal

Women work hard to keep up their looks, and shaving is a huge part of it.  Areas that are commonly seen by others like your legs and bikini line depending on the season can be annoying to constantly shave. Other areas that women tend to forget about are their underarms.  It can be a hassle to remember to shave your underarms, and sometimes the constant shaving can result in razor burn or tiny irritation bumps. Some individuals even end up with dark or discolored underarms because of shaving. If you are tired of shaving your underarms, laser hair removal could be just what you need.

The Ideal Candidate

Almost everyone is a good candidate for underarm laser hair removal, but there are a few exceptions. To successfully undergo underarm laser hair removal you should have light skin with hair that is visibly darker. Darker skinned individuals are also able to receive the procedure, but your skin must be lighter than the underarm hair. Darker skinned patients also have a higher risk of side effects, but the plastic surgeon you choose to work with should be able to modify the procedure to achieve the best results possible. Those individuals with blonde hair are not good candidates for underarm laser hair removal because it would be impossible for the lasers to differentiate between the skin and hair.

The ideal candidate for underarm laser hair removal also has realistic expectations. Laser hair removal is very effective, but there is always a chance that you will have a few strands of hair remaining after the procedure. The amount of hair that remains only depends on how well your body responds to the laser hair removal.

Another factor that makes individuals good candidates for underarm laser hair removal is having coarse hair. Along with the patient’s hair being darker than their skin, the best results are achieved when the individual has a coarse grade of hair so the lasers will easily be able to attack the root.
