What’s Included in the Underarm Area?
The Underarm treatment covers the axillary hollow — the natural underarm area where the arm meets the torso.
Underarm Treatment Boundaries
If unwanted hair continues beyond the natural underarm boundary, the adjacent area is treated as a separate zone.

We do not perform this treatment during pregnancy; with an active infection, open skin damage or marked irritation in the area; with suspicious or unassessed lesions in the area; after recent active tanning if your specialist considers the treatment unsafe; or while you are taking or using medication or products that contraindicate laser treatment.

Before your treatment
Before your treatment, we review medications, recent sun or tanning, pregnancy, active skin conditions or infections, recent procedures, and relevant medical history. Your specialist confirms that the treatment is appropriate for you.
