Arizona Underarm Hair Removal

Women have been removing hair from their underarms for close to 100 years, with magazines showing pictures of models dressed in sleeveless tops as early as 1915. Bare underarms are considered to be aesthetically pleasing in many countries and can also reduce the growth of bacteria. Shaving is an easy way to accomplish this feat but must be done on a daily basis. Shaving can also be painful when a wet razor slips in the shower. The laser hair removal procedure is short and pain free, and can produce long-lasting bare underarms.

How Laser Treatments Work

A light beam is fixed on the area to be treated and damages the follicles so that the growth halts. The hairs fall out, leaving the treated area bare. The beam needs to differentiate between skin color and hair color to prevent burning the patient, meaning that people with light skin and dark hair are more likely to find success with this reduction method. Because the underarm area is so small, one session is usually sufficient for removal of growth that can last up to six weeks. The treatment is virtually pain free, and any growth that returns is softer and thinner and therefore easier to re-treat.
