Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Shave both underarms cleanly with a fresh razor 12 to 24 hours prior to your session—do not wax, pluck, or thread.
- Do not apply deodorants, antiperspirants, body lotions, or perfume to your underarms on the day of your appointment.
After your appointment
- Avoid applying active alcohol-based deodorants or antiperspirants for 24 hours post-treatment; use gentle, fragrance-free options if needed.
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, intense physical workouts, and active body scrubs for 24 to 48 hours following your session.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Is Underarm IPL hair removal painful?
Discomfort is minimal and feels like a quick warm flick or light rubber band snap. Because underarm skin can be sensitive, our advanced IPL handpiece uses built-in sapphire contact cooling to keep skin protected and comfortable throughout the short session.
Will Underarm IPL help get rid of dark shadow tint under my arms?
Yes! Dark underarm shadows are usually caused by dark hair roots sitting beneath thin skin. By destroying the root follicle with IPL, the hair disappears entirely from under the surface, visibly brightening and evening out the underarm skin tone.
How many IPL sessions will I need for full underarm hair reduction?
Because underarm hair grows in deep, distinct cycles, a series of 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal, long-lasting hair reduction.
Can I wear deodorant to my underarm IPL appointment?
No. You should arrive with clean underarms completely free of deodorant, antiperspirant, body oils, or lotions. Deodorant residue can reflect or absorb IPL light, decreasing treatment effectiveness or causing skin irritation.
Can I shave my underarms between IPL appointments?
Yes, you can and should shave between sessions whenever needed. However, you must strictly avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating, as these methods remove the root target needed for the IPL light during your next appointment.
