Will it hurt? Is it safe?

Waxing hurts. A lot. Especially under your arms. We’ve all been through this. Women's underarms laser hair removal on the other hand does not.

No, let us rephrase. Pain is not the right term. A women's armpits laser treatment feels like pinching. Or it can also be compared to the feel of rubber band snapping at the skin. You may feel some heat too. Laser hair removal does not hurt. It may feel unpleasant. Yet, it is mostly comfortable. The underarms are a very sensitive area of the body.

Thus, the treatment will be quite tolerable. Some aloe vera gel will help sooth your skin.

Laser treatments are also very safe. Like any other cosmetic procedures, it has risks. However, those are very rare. You can also easily avoid them. You just need to follow your technician’s instructions.

How many armpits laser sessions will I need?

Our underarms laser hair removal package includes six sessions.

Each must be six weeks apart This is because ofthe hair growth cycle. Laser treatments only work on hair that is actively growing. The growth phase of the hair cycle is called anagen. It is the only time the hair and follicle connect. This allows the energy to pass from the former to the latter.

Since 20% of your hair is in the anagen phase, one session can target 20% of hair. Each successive session will treat an additional 20%.

The underarms are not hormonal area. However, patients may still need additional sessions.

For example, you can get a $60 procedure for the upper lip or chin, but it can cost up to $300. Laser treatment on the underarms cost $150 on average. This is also the average cost of other small areas like the bikini line, chest, and abdomen.

That’s a low price considering other physicians will charge $250 to $450 in these areas.

Legs and arms demand a higher price, and clinics divide these by half. Half arms or half legs treatments have a low average price of $250 and a high average price of $650.
