Laser depilation of the armpits

Laser depilation armpit is an advanced aesthetic medicine protocol aimed at the permanent and painless removal of unwanted hair. This procedure is a modern alternative to traditional methods (disposable razors, wax, depilatories), eliminating their main drawbacks such as soreness, irritation or the problem of ingrown hairs.

Laser hair removal of underarms - characteristics of the technology

Contemporary laser epilation exploits the phenomenon of selective photothermolysis, in which a light beam of a specific wavelength is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) contained in the hair follicle. This process permanently inhibits hair regrowth, being most effective in the hair growth phase (anagen). Due to the cyclical nature of this process, a series of treatments is required to achieve full and lasting smoothness.

Permanent underarm hair removal - the technologies used during the treatment

• Prime 3D diode laser - uses three wavelengths at the same time, which allows it to work effectively on all hair types (including light and thin hair) and all skin phototypes.
• In Motion Technology - allows the transducer to move smoothly over the skin, significantly reducing session time (the armpits are an area that usually requires 15 to 30 minutes).
• TEC system (Thermo-electric cooling) - an advanced cooling mechanism for the head (down to -8°C), which makes the procedure almost imperceptible and comfortable for the patient.

Painless laser hair removal - indications and benefits

The treatment is recommended for both women and men (e.g. athletes or people with excessive hair). The main benefits are:

• Permanent hair removal and saving time for daily hair care
• Elimination of inflammation hair follicles and shaving pimples
• No problem of ingrown hairs

Prime 3D laser hair removal - preparation and recommendations after the treatment
