Are your dark underarms embarrassing you when wearing a sleeveless shirt? Get rid of them permanently with laser treatments for underarm discoloration!
No more shaving or waxing! Laser light destroys hair follicles to stop them from producing new hairs, eliminating shaving or waxing completely.
How is it different from laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal differs from shaving in that it destroys the follicle itself to stop producing new hair growth, offering a permanent solution to unwanted strands of fur. Studies have proven it can reduce hair growth by 90-100% in most patients undergoing the process, making laser therapy the go-to choice for attaining smooth and hairless underarm skin.
Laser treatments designed for underarm whitening aim to even out your complexion by targeting pigmentation that contributes to its darkness. A whitening laser treatment typically employs high-intensity pulses of light that target dark pigments in your underarm area and break them down, leaving lighter and clearer skin underneath. Furthermore, prescription skin brightening products may be used during treatment to accelerate results and ensure long-term effects.
Underarm whitening laser treatment is virtually pain-free and well tolerated, although you may experience a slight tingling/warm sensation during treatment which will dissipate quickly afterward. After the process has concluded, normal activities can resume; however direct sun exposure or sunbed use should be avoided to avoid darkening of treated areas.
Typically, six to eight laser sessions will be necessary to achieve hair-free underarms due to laser technology only destroying one hair follicle at a time; it then takes time for that same follicle to regenerate; with each subsequent treatment session your underarms become increasingly hairless until eventually all follicles have been destroyed and you are left with permanent hair-free underarms.
If you’re considering underarm whitening laser, consult with a trained professional first. They can answer any questions that arise and guide your decision making in the right direction. Be sure to inquire about their experience, credentials, portfolio of work as well as potential side effects or outcomes of the procedure.
What is the procedure like?
Laser hair removal can effectively rid yourself of unwanted body hair and leave underarms smooth and silky. When combined with skin lightening treatments to address pigmentation on underarms, it may provide faster relief than either treatment alone.
Dark underarms can result from many different factors, ranging from age and hormonal fluctuations to lifestyle habits such as shaving or waxing in the armpit area. Other contributing factors may include deodorants, antiperspirants and friction caused by clothing.
These issues may lead to an inflammatory response that stimulates pigment-making cells, leading to hyperpigmentation of the underarm area. Sometimes this pigmentation can be due to medical conditions like Acanthosis Nigricans – which manifests itself by thick, darkened skin across neck, underarm and groin areas and has been linked with obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes.
Unless the dark underarms are caused by one of these reasons, we suggest non-invasive skin lightening treatments like our Pink Intimate System which uses Picosecond laser technology to effectively treat pigmentation on underarms.
Laser skin rejuvenation therapy is a safe and effective treatment suitable for all skin types. The laser energy targets the epidermis, which accounts for much of your pigmentation. Melanocytes that produce melanin are broken apart during treatment using laser energy; thus enabling pigments to be broken down and absorbed by your body more readily.
After just a few treatments, the results become evident and you can achieve your ideal underarm skin tone. It is advised to receive at least five sessions spaced out between 1-2 weeks for best results.
The treatment is completely pain-free and does not require any downtime; its only side effects include temporary irritation and redness in the skin. To minimize these side effects, avoid sun exposure before and after receiving therapy – and when exposed, wear an SPF 50+ sunblock!
How long will it take to see results?
Armpit darkness may be caused by several factors, including use of deodorants and antiperspirants, friction from clothing, lack of exfoliation, shaving, bacterial infections, melisma and hormonal fluctuations in the body – among many other things. Luckily, there are treatments available that can lighten this area’s complexion.
One option for treating underarm hair growth is laser hair removal. While this will lighten your skin, it won’t permanently reduce or eradicate hair follicles in that area. Furthermore, laser removal can be very painful; additionally, sun exposure after this procedure could increase sensitivity in your underarms and increase irritation.
Consider using a topical cream with skin lighteners, either over-the-counter or via doctor prescription, which can be applied directly onto underarms as well as other parts of your body.
If you want to quickly and effectively lighten your underarms, consider getting skin-whitening laser treatment at a reputable clinic. These can usually be completed within several sessions and will leave your arms looking lighter than ever!
Laser treatments can be safely and successfully utilized on both the face and underarms for skin rejuvenation purposes. Lasers can lighten skin tone while clearing any unwanted blemishes such as melasema or sunspots away. Furthermore, rejuvenating laser treatments give skin an overall healthier complexion, leading to a fresh new glow!
Laser whitening treatments don’t guarantee success for everyone, but their success rate is high. For best results, it is recommended to undergo 6-10 treatments at least in succession, though first results should typically appear a few weeks post-treatment session.
Underarm whitening lasers tend to work best on those with dark hair and light skin. The laser can focus on targeting pigment in hair without competing for it with skin pigmentation, making this treatment suitable for anyone. If you are interested in underarm laser whitening, get in touch with a cosmetic dermatologist near you in order to learn more and decide if it is suited for you.
What are the side effects?
Are you fed up with shaving your underarms every day or waxing them every few weeks? Laser hair removal could be your answer! Not only does it permanently destroy any dark armpit hair follicles that make up their appearance, it also lightens them. Safe and effective for almost anyone – however there may be potential side effects.
Some of the more frequent side effects of underarm whitening laser treatments include redness, swelling and irritation. These side effects may occur immediately or take several days to manifest; usually mild in severity they can usually be managed with cold compresses or OTC pain relievers. To decrease side effects and ensure best results for underarm laser whitening sessions avoid rubbing or scratching of treated area which could open it up and lead to scarring and infection as well as protect from sunlight for several days post treatment session.
Burning sensations may arise when the laser beam hits your skin, similar to rubber band snapping against it and lasting several minutes before subsiding with healing of the area. If this sensation bothers you, it is advisable to discuss these concerns with a healthcare provider prior to beginning underarm whitening laser treatment.
Other possible side effects may include stinging sensations or itching in the treated area. To soothe itching, apply an ice cube wrapped in soft cloth to relieve itching. Deodorants, antiperspirants or synthetic underwear that contain aluminum compounds should be avoided as these may irritate them further. It is advisable to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing after laser underarm whitening treatments while applying sunscreen every day as these will also help.
Underarm whitening lasers use cutting-edge technology to treat pigmentation issues and rejuvenate skin, specifically targeting chromophores that contribute to darkened patches on skin. In addition to treating pigmentation issues like melasma and panda eyes, it may also help treat other conditions related to pigmentation such as melasma.
