Is the Claim That Five Sessions Are Enough

Really Reliable?

'I heard that underarm hair removal is

hardly noticeable after just five sessions...

Would that be enough for me as well?'

After reading reviews saying that five sessions were enough for underarm hair removal, many people decided on the number of sessions in advance.

In fact, underarm hair tends to respond relatively well to lasers compared with hair in other areas.

However, that does not mean everyone can achieve the desired results with only five sessions.

We will now explain why.

Characteristics of Underarm Hair Removal

Principle of laser hair removal

Laser hair removal uses the principle that when the melanin pigment in hair absorbs light of a specific wavelength, it is converted into thermal energy.

The heat generated damages the area around the hair follicle and hair root, gradually weakening the hair's ability to grow back with repeated treatments.

Underarm hair is generally thick and dark, so it contains a relatively high amount of melanin and tends to absorb this laser energy comparatively well.

As a result, it often responds more quickly than fine hair on the arms or face.

Therefore, when there is a small amount of hair and a clear contrast between the hair and skin color,

many people feel that the thickness and density of their hair have decreased considerably after around five sessions spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart.

Are Five Sessions Really Enough?

However, many people may need more than 10 sessions, depending on their individual circumstances.

The most important variable here is the hair growth cycle.

Hair growth cycle

Hair repeatedly cycles through the growth, regression, and resting phases. Lasers work effectively on hairs in the growth phase, when the follicles and hairs are closely connected.

The problem is that not all underarm hairs are in the growth phase at the same time.

Hairs may later grow again from resting follicles that were not sufficiently targeted during five to 10 sessions, which is why additional sessions may often be necessary.

The amount of hair is also one of the important factors that can affect the results.

If the hair is thick and dense, or if hair growth is active due to factors such as hormones,

the results may not be sufficient even after five sessions, and more than 10 sessions may be needed.

Therefore, you should not hastily assume that you will definitely complete underarm hair removal in five sessions simply because a review says that someone else did so.

Since a variety of factors can affect treatment results, it is best to carefully determine the number of sessions that suits you by monitoring your progress.

TIPS to Help Improve Treatment Results

Finally, we will explain two ways that may help improve the results of underarm hair removal, even if only slightly, and then conclude this article.

1. Shave one day before your session

Hair must remain inside the follicle for the laser to work.

However, waxing or plucking the hair with tweezers reduces the number of targets for the laser to react to.

On the other hand, if you do nothing at all, the hair may grow out long beyond the skin, causing unnecessary heat to be generated on the surface.

Therefore, shave and trim the hair short either the day before or on the morning of your session so that the treatment can be performed efficiently.

2. Moisturizing and sun protection are also important

When the skin is excessively dry or irritated, redness and stinging after laser treatment may increase.

Maintaining the skin barrier with sufficient moisturization may help support more stable repeated treatments and improve their results.

In addition, if ultraviolet exposure increases the melanin in the skin, the laser may also be absorbed by the skin, which can reduce treatment efficiency.

Therefore, when wearing short-sleeved or sleeveless tops, we recommend paying close attention to sun protection as well.

U&I Sinchon

It is not actually unrealistic to hear in Sinchon underarm hair removal reviews that someone was satisfied after five sessions.

There are certainly people who experience noticeable results with only five sessions, depending on the individual.

However, it is important to remember that five sessions is not a number that applies to everyone.

Therefore, if you are wondering how many underarm hair removal sessions you need, we recommend having a thorough consultation with a medical professional.
