Hair Removal Guide: Underarm Hair Removal

This is where it gets tricky...did you know that the underarms are the only body part where hair grows in hundreds of directions, oh and sometimes have numerous hair follicles in one spot? Call in the reinforcements! Here are some tips for underarms hair removal, laser hair removal or how to remove that stubborn hair.

LIGHT, FINE UNDERARM HAIR:

Underarm Hair Removal Shaving

Upside:

• Immediate results
• Inexpensive
• It is easy since you can do it in the comfort of your own home

Downside:

• Grows back quickly
• Sometimes you won't get a clean shave

Tips:

• Use a new razor with three or more blades to cut down on the amount of strokes on the underarm that could lead to irritation
• Shave in the opposite direction of the hair growth

Underarm Hair Removal Wax

Upside:

• Results last longer than shaving
• Skin appears smoother and the hair appears finer because it grows in at all different stages

Downside:

• Waiting for hair to grow back
• May cause ingrowns, which can be unsightly

Be Careful...

Be sure that you are not taking any retinoid medications or accutane prior to waxing or laser. If you are not sure whether the medication you are taking contains retin-A or other ingredients, call us and a Completely Bare specialist will be happy to assist. Make a schedule online for other waxing solutions with real spa experts!

Laser Hair Removal for Underarms

Upside:

• Permanent hair reduction in several short sessions
• Less painful than waxing
• After each treatment, you will see hair become finer and sparser

Downside:

• The hair has to have pigmentation and be darker than your skin color in order for the laser to be effective. Schedule a complimentary hair removal consultation at completely Bare to determine whether or not laser will work on your hair type. During this consultation a specialist will do a test patch to determine the best method of hair removal for your skin and hair type as well as your personal preferences.
