"While doing hair removal myself,
the hair got curled back into my skin..."
"I shave my underarms every morning,
and I ended up getting cuts..."
Many people share these kinds of concerns after trying hair removal on their own.
Shaving leads to regrowth soon after, and plucking or waxing can cause stinging, inflammation, and other discomforts, leaving many people frustrated.
In particular, those who have experienced issues such as repeated maintenance problems or infections from self hair removal often consider laser hair removal.
Today, let’s talk about self hair removal and laser hair removal based on the characteristics of the underarm area.

The characteristics of the underarm area
The underarms have characteristics that are a little different from other parts of the body.
First, the skin is thin and sensitive, and because it folds often, friction occurs frequently.

In addition, since it is always a warm and moist environment, it provides conditions where bacteria can easily multiply.
So even a little carelessness during hair removal can cause problems.
Because it is an area where relatively thick, dark hair grows, laser hair removal, which responds well to melanin pigment, tends to be effective. At the same time, however, the skin is delicate and vulnerable to irritation, so this must be taken into account.
Therefore, if proper care is not taken after hair removal, it is an environment where inflammation can easily occur, and it should be approached more carefully than other areas.

Problems that can occur with self hair removal
Many people try to remove underarm hair at home in a simple way, but several problems can arise.
In the case of shaving, although it is the easiest method, the razor can cause cuts, and if bacteria enter the wounded area, it can lead to folliculitis.

Also, newly growing hair can come in at an irregular angle and curl back into the skin, causing ingrown hairs.
Some people also pluck out the hair with tweezers while enduring the pain.
If bacteria enter the empty follicle left behind after hair is forcibly pulled out, folliculitis can also develop, and repeatedly plucking hair from the same area can also cause pigmentation.
So if you are removing hair from a sensitive area like the underarms, great care is needed.

Many people choose laser hair removal if they have experienced problems from self hair removal or find it difficult to manage the area every day.
Laser hair removal is a procedure that sends energy to the dark melanin pigment in the hair follicle to destroy the follicle cells.
Because the laser selectively reacts to the melanin in the hair, it has little effect on the skin or sweat glands, so skin irritation is relatively low.

The number of sessions varies by person, but generally, if you undergo 5 or more sessions at 4- to 6-week intervals, you can see the effects of hair removal.
However, some people sometimes think laser hair removal is permanent, but it does not completely prevent hair from growing again in the future.
After the procedure, the amount of hair is significantly reduced, the hair becomes finer, and it reaches a level where it is barely noticeable.

Precautions before and after laser hair removal

Do not pluck or wax underarm hair before the procedure.
The laser needs to react to the melanin pigment in the follicle, and if the hair is pulled out, there is no target left.
For 3 to 5 days after the procedure, avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can trigger inflammatory reactions.
If you are exposed to strong ultraviolet rays immediately after hair removal, irritation may occur in the treated area, so when going बाहर, it is best to wear clothing that can cover the underarms and apply sunscreen.
If you have experienced repeated stress or skin troubles from self hair removal, Jamsil underarm hair removal using laser may help.
If you are choosing a place to receive the hair removal procedure, it is a good idea to check whether it has enough experience and expertise.
Since everyone has different hair thickness and hair root strength, it is important to carefully assess these factors before proceeding with the procedure.
If you take the time to have thorough consultations and carefully assess your skin condition and hair characteristics, you may be able to achieve more satisfying hair removal results.
