Permanent hair removal for the underarms – small, fast, noticeable
Few zones are shaved as often as the underarms – and few are treated as quickly. At dermAesthetics, you get permanent hair removal that noticeably reduces the daily effort, by trained specialists and with technology tailored to your skin.
Why many choose treatment for the underarms
The underarms are often shaved daily – and react sensitively to it. The skin is thin, the hair coarse, and redness, razor burn, or a dark shadow that shaving never quite removes appear quickly. On top of that, freshly shaved skin often reacts to deodorant with irritation.
This is exactly where permanent hair removal for the underarms comes in: less hair growth means shaving less often, less irritation – and a smoother, cleaner skin feel in everyday life.
Good to know about underarm treatment
The underarms are one of the smallest and fastest-treated zones. A few things many like to know in advance:
A compact zone
Both underarms together are usually treated in a few minutes.
Often combined
The underarms are frequently booked together with other zones like the legs or intimate area.
Suitable for many skin types
Thanks to two wavelengths, treatment is possible for darker skin tones too.
You can find what the treatment costs on our laser hair removal costs page.
How your treatment works
Done in a few minutes
Both underarms together are usually treated in a few minutes – ideal even for a lunch-break appointment.
Treated by trained professionals
Our NiSV-certified specialists treat the underarms evenly, including the contours and hollows.
The test pulse comes first
Before the actual treatment begins, we apply a test pulse to a small spot. So you know how it feels before anything continues.
Shaved, not plucked
The underarms are shaved before your appointment. Avoid epilating and plucking, so the laser can reach the hair follicle.
Gentle on sensitive skin
The skin under your arms is thin and reacts sensitively. That is why the Candela GentleMax Pro laser releases a cooling spray onto the skin before each pulse – making the treatment noticeably more comfortable. The settings are adjusted to your skin type and hair structure, including darker skin tones. Learn more.
Permanent hair removal for the underarms – how to prepare
Before your appointment
- Shave the underarms one to two days beforehand so your skin can settle
- Avoid epilating, waxing, and plucking – the laser needs the hair follicle as its target
- Come to your appointment with no deodorant, creams, or powder on the skin
- Avoid intense sun and self-tanner in the weeks before
After the treatment
- Skip deodorant for the rest of the day so your skin can settle
- Skip the sauna, swimming pool, and hot baths for one to two days
- Leave out intense sport for one to two days so the skin is not irritated further
- Slight redness right afterwards is normal and usually fades quickly
You get the exact instructions for your case from us after every appointment.

Many combine the underarms with other zones.
