Procedures for armpit laser hair removal
There are certain orderly steps your professional would follow in using laser hair removal on your armpit. They are;
Step 1: Firstly, your professional will clean the treatment area and apply a mild anesthetic cream, not necessarily but most times. You would also be given protective eyewear for the rest of the procedure, to protect your eyes from hair.
Step 2: Following the first step, the professional will shine a device that contains beam light over the armpit area. The light shines on the armpit while using the laser, this is because the light helps heat up the hair follicles, causing damage, so they don’t produce new hairs like they normally would. Overall, the process may be completed in just a few minutes.
Step 3: To minimize pain and make you more comfortable, your professional may apply a cooling gel or spray (serving like an aftershave) to the underarms
The whole procedure doesn’t take a long period of time, and you will go home the same day of the procedure. Your professional may recommend that you apply a cool compress [2] or ice pack to the underarm if needed. On rare occasions, if there is swelling your doctor may prescribe a topical steroid cream.
