Underarms with laser, for women and men.
Underarm hair is often dark and coarse: this is the type of hair on which laser gives its best results. I work with the Leaseir MHR diode laser, which I adjust at every session to your skin and hair type.
A small area, often dark
I treat underarms for women and men alike.
They are easy to combine with other areas in the same session: the bikini line, the half legs or the full legs. The combinations and their prices are shown below.
Price per session
You pay session by session, with no subscription. You can add or remove an area along the way.
With other areas, in the same session
Combinations group together areas treated in the same session. They cost less because the session is more efficient, not because they are on offer.
Prices include VAT
What to expect
And electrolysis?
On the underarms, laser generally already gives very good results. Electrolysis only comes in case by case, to finish off: a few white or very light hairs that the laser does not pick up.
Usually 6 to 10 sessions
This is a guide: the number depends on your hair, your skin and your hormones. I refine it for you at the information session (first consultation).
Every 6 to 8 weeks
Most often every 8 weeks at first. The intervals then lengthen as the hair becomes sparser. To keep the result, I recommend one or two maintenance sessions a year.
A brief warmth
You feel it with each pulse, softened by the tip cooled to around 0 °C. We take all the time needed, with breaks if you wish.
Around 80% less hair
In general, by the end of treatment. The treated hairs fall out 10 to 15 days after each session; those that remain are finer and lighter.
Preparing the area
4 weeks without waxing or tweezing
Stop waxing, tweezing and using an epilator 4 weeks before the first session, and throughout the treatment: the laser needs the hair to be in its bulb.
Shave 48 hours before
Shave the area 48 hours before each session (two days before).
Untanned skin
Your skin must not be tanned at the time of the session. How long to wait depends on your skin type; I will tell you at the information session.
Aftercare
No sun for 4 to 5 days
Keep the area out of the sun for 4 to 5 days after the session, then protect it with SPF 50.
No exercise for 2 to 3 days
Also avoid saunas and steam rooms.
Let the hairs fall out
Do not pull on the treated hairs: they fall out on their own within 10 to 15 days. From the fourth day, a gentle scrub helps them come away.
Does it hurt?
You feel a brief warmth with each pulse, softened by the tip cooled to around 0 °C. Most clients find it entirely bearable. We take all the time needed, with breaks if you need them.
How many sessions for the underarms?
Usually 6 to 10, every 6 to 8 weeks at first, then further and further apart. This is a guide, which I refine for you at the information session.
When will I see a difference?
From the very first session: regrowth is already different, and the treated hairs fall out 10 to 15 days later. The difference then becomes more noticeable session after session.
Do you also treat men’s underarms?
Yes. The price is shown in the table above, and the Men page lists every area for men.
Do I need to shave beforehand?
Yes, 48 hours before each session (two days before). No waxing or tweezing: stop 4 weeks before the first session, and throughout the treatment.
