EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT UNDERARM LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Why underarms are one of the best areas to treat.

Laser targets melanin, the pigment found in the hair, this absorbs the laser’s energy, converting it to heat to disable the follicle and prevent regrowth. 

The underarms / armpits tend to have darker, coarser hair, making them one of the most responsive areas for laser treatment. The greater the contrast between hair and skin tone, the more effectively the laser works.

Is underarm laser hair removal safe?

Yes. When used correctly, underarm laser hair removal is a safe and clinically proven method of permanent hair reduction.

Professional clinics worldwide trust the 810nm diode laser wavelength for safe, effective hair removal. The Tria 4X uses this same technology and is the only at-home laser device to be FDA-cleared for permanent hair reduction.* 

For added peace of mind, the built-in skin tone sensor reads your skin before every treatment, only activating when it is safe to do so.

What causes dark underarms?

Dark underarms, sometimes referred to as underarm pigmentation, can be caused by a number of factors. Common causes include frequent shaving, deodorant use and ingrown hairs; all of which can lead to irritation and skin darkening over time.

Reducing hair regrowth with laser may help minimise some of these triggers, particularly those caused by frequent shaving and ingrown hairs.

How much does underarm laser hair removal cost?

Professional underarm laser hair removal adds up quickly. With multiple sessions needed, the costs can be significant.**

The Tria 4X is a one-off investment usable across multiple treatment areas, making it a far more cost effective option in the long run.
