Enjoy long-lasting smoothness.
Unwanted hair under the arms: seems easy enough to avoid. And yet somehow, the hair keeps popping up all over the place. Not to mention the ingrown hairs, cysts and razor burn that come with repeatedly shaving your underarms.
Laser Hair Removal at Ideal Image can help reduce unwanted underarm and arm hair. First, the hair is destroyed from underneath the skin, then it sheds out completely. After the pores close, the pesky arm and underarm hair is gone. Treating the underarms literally takes only minutes and you can get started with your first treatment on the day you purchase. Go sleeveless. Go strapless. And feel worry-less.

The number of Laser Hair Removal treatments you’ll need will depend on the area, hair color, and amount of hair. We can remove hair from almost any area of the body, but it's important to come into Ideal Image for a complimentary consultation and discuss exactly what your needs are.
Where can I target Arm Laser Hair Removal?
- Arm hair: It’s here, it’s there… and yes, it’s there too. Remove unwanted hair anywhere on your arm with Laser Hair Removal. There are three types of treatments to choose from, including Underarm Laser Hair Removal, Upper Arm Hair Removal, and Full Arm Laser Hair Removal. Treatment is ideal for most anyone, both man or woman, who is struggling with excess or unwanted hair anywhere on their arms.
How should I prepare for Arm and Underarm Laser Hair Removal?
- To prepare for Arm Hair Removal of any type, you’ll want to avoid direct UV exposure for up to a week before treatment. So, be sure to steer clear of sunny beach days and tanning beds—even sunless tanning products shouldn’t make the cut. For Armpit Laser Hair Removal, it’s less likely you’ll have to risk direct sun exposure. However, to be cautious, keep covered regardless.
Remember to stop all waxing and shaving six weeks before your appointment. Laser Hair Removal relies on the melanin in the hair follicle to locate and destroy hair at the source, so you want to avoid any process that fully removes the hair from the skin. You can shave and should do so 24 hours before your appointment. For Underarm Laser Hair Removal and Upper Arm Hair Removal, consider lightly exfoliating a few days before your appointment to rid the area of dead skin cells and product build-up.
What can I expect during Arm Laser Hair Removal?
- When you arrive at your appointment, your Skin, Face & Body Expert will prep the desired area by drawing white lines exactly where the treatment will take place. Depending on your skin and hair type, as well as your comfort level, your laser technician may apply a numbing cream to the treatment area. From here, treatment should take under 30 minutes to complete.Underarm Laser Hair Removal typically takes around 15 minutes, where Full Arm Laser Hair Removal will likely be closer to 30 minutes. Throughout your session, you might feel moderate discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as the feeling of a rubber band hitting the skin. When treatment is complete, your technician will apply a soothing Aloe Vera gel to calm the treated area.
How can I care for my skin after Underarm and Arm Laser Hair Removal?
- Aftercare for Arm Hair Removal is relatively simple. Avoid direct UV exposure for a week after treatment, taking care to cover the skin if you’ll be in direct sunlight. If redness, swelling, or itchiness occur, apply an Aloe Vera gel to the treatment area. For your own comfort, opt for looser fitting tops after Arm Hair Removal to allow the area to breathe.
