Are you tired of the endless cycle of shaving your underarms, the irritation of razor burn, and the dark shadow that appears just hours later? For residents of Scottsdale, living in a climate that calls for tanks, swimwear, and sleeveless styles, the hassle of underarm maintenance is a constant frustration. Arizona MedLaser, Scottsdale’s elite medical spa, offers a modern, permanent solution. It’s time to ditch the razor for good and raise your arms with total confidence, thanks to our expert underarm laser hair removal services right here in Scottsdale.
Underarm laser hair removal is one of the most popular, effective, and life-changing services we offer at our Scottsdale medspa. It is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses advanced, FDA-cleared laser technology to permanently reduce unwanted underarm hair. The treatment is incredibly fast, often taking less than 10 minutes from start to finish. The laser works by emitting a highly concentrated beam of light that is precisely absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. This light energy instantly converts to heat, which damages the follicle at its root, preventing it from producing hair in the future. The result for our Scottsdale clients is permanently smooth, clear skin, free from the shadow, stubble, and irritation of traditional hair removal methods.
The number one reason our Scottsdale clients choose underarm laser hair removal is for the freedom it provides. This small treatment area delivers a massive improvement in quality of life. The benefits are immediate and lasting: you can say goodbye to the daily chore of shaving and the dark “five o’clock shadow” that stubble can create. Many of our Scottsdale clients also see a significant reduction in skin irritation, rashes, and painful ingrown hairs that are common from shaving. Plus, without the buildup of deodorant on stubble, many people report improved hygiene and a reduction in odor. It’s a simple, fast procedure that allows you to be spontaneously ready for the Scottsdale sunshine.
One of the greatest advantages of underarm laser hair removal is how quick and easy the appointments are. A full session at our Scottsdale clinic can be completed in as little as 10 minutes, making it the perfect “lunchtime” treatment, you can easily fit it into your busy day. Our state-of-the-art lasers are equipped with advanced cooling systems, which blast the skin with cool air milliseconds before the laser pulse. This makes the sensation very tolerable, with most Scottsdale clients describing it as a quick, warm pinprick or a small rubber band snap that is over in an instant. It is far more comfortable than waxing and much faster than any other method.
The ideal candidate for laser hair removal is someone with a contrast between their skin color and hair color, think dark hair on lighter skin. This contrast allows the laser to easily find and target the pigment in the hair follicle. However, as an elite medical spa in Scottsdale, Arizona MedLaser has invested in the latest technology that allows us to safely and effectively treat a much wider range of skin tones. The treatment is not effective on blonde, red, or grey hair, as it lacks the necessary pigment. The best way to determine your candidacy is to schedule a complimentary, no-obligation consultation with one of our Scottsdale laser specialists.
Many of our Scottsdale clients are surprised to learn that underarm laser hair removal can do more than just remove hair, it can also improve the appearance of the skin. The constant friction from shaving can cause the skin in the armpit to thicken and darken over time, a condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Shaving also leaves the blunt-ended root of the hair just below the surface, creating a “shadow.” By permanently removing the hair follicle, our laser treatment eliminates the root cause of this shadow. Over the course of their Scottsdale treatment plan, clients often notice that their underarm skin appears lighter, clearer, and much smoother.
At Arizona MedLaser, our expert team provides comprehensive guidance to ensure you get the best possible results from your underarm laser hair removal in Scottsdale.
Proper preparation is essential for a safe and effective treatment. The most important rule is to avoid all forms of sun exposure on your underarms, including tanning beds and self-tanners, for at least two weeks before your Scottsdale appointment. You must also stop waxing, tweezing, or using depilatory creams on the area for at least four to six weeks prior; the laser needs the hair root to be present in the follicle to work. You should, however, shave your underarms 24 hours before your session. Arrive at our Scottsdale office with clean underarms, free of any deodorant, lotions, or oils.
After your session, it’s normal to experience some mild redness and swelling, similar to a slight sunburn. This typically subsides within a few hours. You can apply a cool compress to ease any discomfort, but most Scottsdale clients find it’s not necessary. You can apply deodorant and resume normal activities immediately, but we recommend avoiding hot tubs, saunas, and strenuous exercise that causes excessive sweating for the first 24 hours. The most critical part of your aftercare is to avoid sun exposure on the treated area. The treated hairs will begin to “shed” over the next 1-3 weeks, this is a great sign the treatment worked.
Most clients at our Scottsdale clinic find the treatment very tolerable. Thanks to our advanced cooling systems, the sensation is described as a very fast “snap” that is over in a fraction of a second. It is significantly less painful than waxing.
The treatment itself is incredibly fast. From the moment you are prepped to the moment you are finished, the entire appointment for both underarms is typically 10 minutes or less.
To achieve permanent hair reduction (usually 80-90%), a series of 6-8 sessions is typically required. These are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to target the hair in its active growth phase.
The FDA has cleared laser hair removal for “permanent hair reduction.” After your full series of treatments, the vast majority of hair follicles are permanently destroyed. Any few hairs that may eventually grow back are typically much finer, lighter, and easier to manage.
Underarm laser hair removal is one of the most affordable treatment areas. At Arizona MedLaser in Scottsdale, we offer competitive pricing and package deals that make the treatment a cost-effective, long-term investment. We will provide a full quote during your free consultation.
Yes, you can apply deodorant immediately after your session. If you have very sensitive skin, you may prefer to wait a few hours, but it is generally not an issue for our Scottsdale clients.
Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle, not the sweat gland, so it will not stop you from sweating. However, many clients in Scottsdale report a reduction in body odor, as the bacteria that causes odor has nowhere to cling.
We cannot safely treat tanned skin. However, our Scottsdale clinic has advanced lasers that are specifically designed to be safe and effective for a wide range of darker skin tones. It’s best to schedule a consultation to have your skin type assessed.
Over the 1-3 weeks following your appointment, the treated hairs will “shed” and fall out on their own. This is not new growth; it is the follicle pushing out the dead hair.
