Underarms
Why underarms respond so well to laser
The underarms are often the first area people decide to treat with laser, and it makes sense. Underarm hair is generally dark, coarse and dense, exactly the type of hair on which laser is most effective, because it has plenty of melanin to absorb the energy.
It is also an area where razors cause plenty of problems: the hair reappears within a day or two, leaves a dark “shadow” under the skin, and friction, sweat and deodorant encourage irritation, spots and ingrown hairs. Over time, repeated shaving can contribute to darkening of the underarm skin.
As it is a small surface, the session lasts only a few minutes and is easy to fit into your routine. Underarm hair also has a relatively fast growth cycle, so sessions can be scheduled at shorter intervals than for large areas such as the legs.
At the consultation we check your skin type, your type of hair and any skin darkening, so we can adjust the settings safely. It is a treatment requested by both women and men, whether to remove the hair or simply to reduce its density and improve hygiene and odour.
This treatment is for you if…
- You shave your underarms almost daily and the shadow still shows.
- You get irritation, spots or ingrown hairs after shaving.
- You want to start laser with a quick, effective area.
- You do sport and want more comfort and hygiene.
If your concern is excessive sweating, laser is not the right treatment: we have a specific treatment for hyperhidrosis.

Treatments
What underarm laser hair removal involves
Quick, comfortable and with only a few guidelines to follow.
Before
Shave and skip the deodorant
Shave your underarms one or two days beforehand and come without deodorant, creams or perfume on the area. Do not wax or tweeze during the treatment.
During
A few minutes
Thanks to the cooling system the session is easy to tolerate. Because the hair is dense, the first sessions are felt a little more; after that, less and less.
After
Gentle deodorant
There may be mild redness. We recommend waiting a few hours before using deodorant and choosing an alcohol-free one for the first few days.
Plan
Short intervals
Underarm hair grows quickly, so sessions can be closer together than in other areas.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about underarm laser hair removal
How many sessions will I need for my underarms?
Underarms respond very well, but the exact number depends on the hair, your skin type and hormonal factors. Several sessions are usually needed and, in some cases, occasional maintenance. At the consultation we give you an approximate plan.
Does underarm laser hair removal hurt?
It is a slightly more sensitive area with dense hair, so in the first sessions you may feel small hot pinpricks. The cooling makes it easy to tolerate, and as there is less hair you feel it less.
Will dark underarm skin get lighter?
Laser removes the shadow left by hair under the skin and, once you stop shaving, the irritation that can darken it is reduced. If there is pre-existing pigmentation, we assess it separately because it may need a different treatment.
Will it make me sweat more or less?
Laser hair removal does not significantly increase or reduce sweating. If you sweat excessively, there is a specific treatment for hyperhidrosis.
Can I go to the beach afterwards?
Yes, but protect the area from the sun and avoid tanning it in the weeks around each session. Underarms are usually less exposed than other areas, so it is easier to continue treatment in summer.
When can it not be done?
During pregnancy, with wounds, infections or active irritation in the underarm, with tanned skin or if you take photosensitising medication.
How much does underarm laser hair removal cost in Torremolinos?
It depends on your case and the number of sessions. At the free consultation we give you a fixed quote with no obligation.
