Men's Underarms Laser Hair Removal

Underarm laser hair removal treats the full underarm/armpit hair region.

Most clients need 12 to 16 total treatments for optimal long-term hair reduction. Many people begin to see up to a 20-30% reduction after four treatments, with hair growing back finer and slower.

Treatments are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, starting closer to 6 weeks and moving to 8 weeks toward the end of the series.

Laser targets the pigment in hair follicles during the active growth phase. Heat from the laser reduces the follicle’s ability to regrow hair, and multiple sessions are needed because hair grows in cycles.

Laser works best on dark, coarse hair. Blonde, red, white, or very light hairs typically will not respond because there is minimal pigment for the laser to target.

• Shave the area 12 to 24 hours before treatment.
• Avoid waxing, tweezing, or hair removal creams within 3 weeks prior.
