How it works

Using SHR / IPL, we move steadily over the arms or underarms to distribute heat safely through the hair follicles. Cooling and gel help keep the skin comfortable while the light does the work.

Benefits

  • Underarms are treated quickly, making this an easy lunch-break option.
  • Great for visible forearm hair that you’re tired of managing.
  • Helps reduce irritation and shadow from frequent shaving.

Good for / Not for

  • Good for: darker hair on the underarms and arms where shaving or waxing is becoming frustrating.
  • Not for: recently waxed or plucked hair, active skin irritation or very light hair that lacks pigment.

What to expect

  • Appointment time: Approx. 15–40 minutes depending on whether arms and underarms are combined.
  • Sensation: Warm pulses with occasional quick flicks of heat.
  • Downtime: Mild redness or sensitivity that usually resolves within a few hours.

Aftercare

  • Skip deodorant and fragranced products on the underarms for the rest of the day.
  • Avoid hot yoga, heavy workouts and saunas for 24 hours.

We’ll always perform a full consultation and patch test before starting a course, especially on sensitive underarm skin.
