IPL – Underarms (Both)

IPL for both underarms: what the appointment includes

Your treatment focuses on the full underarm area on both sides, with settings chosen for your skin tone and hair type.

• A brief consultation to confirm suitability for underarm IPL and talk through your hair growth and skin sensitivity.
• Preparation of the underarm area so the light energy can travel effectively to the follicle.
• Protective eyewear for you during the IPL pulses.
• Precise IPL passes across each underarm to treat the hair growth evenly.
• Guidance on immediate aftercare to keep underarms comfortable and calm.
• A plan for your next session in the course, timed to catch hair in the right growth phase.

Underarm IPL is often chosen to reduce shaving rash and daily upkeep

IPL for underarms suits clients who shave frequently and want a longer lasting smooth feel. It can be especially helpful if you are prone to irritation, bumps, or ingrown hairs from regular shaving. Many clients also like the convenience for holidays, gym routines, and sleeveless outfits.

How a course of IPL sessions reduces underarm hair growth

Underarm hair grows in cycles, so results build gradually across multiple sessions rather than in one appointment. You can expect regrowth to become finer and patchier as the course progresses, with smoother periods between sessions. Occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended to keep results on track.

Preparing for IPL underarms and caring for skin afterwards

For best results, avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating before your course since IPL needs the hair root in place. Shaving is usually recommended between sessions, and you will be advised on timing before your visit. After treatment, keep underarms cool and avoid heat, friction, and strongly fragranced products for a short period while the skin settles.
