Illinois Underarm Hair Removal

People new to the prospect of hair removal may be tempted to start with underarm hair. It's a commonly shaved location and isn't readily visible, so fears of discoloration or welts are diminished there. Furthermore, the notion of removing underarm hair permanently means not having to worry about the sting of deodorant applied to a fresh shaving cut.

As far as laser hair removal procedures, underarm hair removal is one of the fastest and easiest areas to treat. Most procedures take just 10 to 15 minutes per session and are less expensive than treating other areas of the body. Treatment typically requires several sessions spaced a few weeks apart to perform the procedure. This is because hair grows in cycles, and the laser procedure removes underarm hair that is growing rather than shedding. Though it's rarely painless, most patients report only minimal discomfort, akin to a mild stinging sensation, as the laser is applied to their skin.

The procedure works best with dark hair and light skin, since the laser targets melanin and needs to easily distinguish between the kind in the unwanted hair and the kind in your growing and healthy skin. But despite the sensitivity of that part of the body, underarm hair removal still works well for patients with dark skin because the sessions are so brief. Investigate the offices of the NuU Medspa, with multiple locations throughout Illinois, for your options regarding undergoing the procedure.
