Underarm Laser Hair Removal in Brooklyn
Welcome to KristinaEpil! Underarm hair traps sweat and odor, especially during workouts or hot weather, and shaving it comes with its own downsides — razor bumps, itching as it grows back, and having to redo it every couple of days. Laser hair removal treats the follicle directly, so instead of shaving around a workout schedule, you’re working toward not needing to shave there at all.
Settings are adjusted to your skin tone and hair density, and sessions are quick enough to fit around a busy routine.
Why This Is a Popular Starting Point
Underarm hair is usually dense but grows in a small, well-defined area, which makes it one of our faster treatments and one of the areas where results show up earliest. Less hair here also means less trapped sweat and odor — a practical benefit a lot of clients care about as much as the smoothness itself, especially if you train regularly.

Before & After Your Treatment
Before your appointment
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning on the underarms for at least 2 weeks prior.
- Skip plucking or waxing for 4 weeks before — shaving the day before your session is recommended.
- Skip deodorant or antiperspirant on the day of treatment; bring it with you to apply after.
- Mild redness or small bumps around hair follicles are normal for a few hours.
- Avoid deodorant and hot showers for the rest of the day if your skin feels sensitive.
- Skip intense workouts and swimming for 24 hours to reduce irritation and sweat exposure.
- Wear loose clothing under the arms for the first day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this reduce sweat and odor?
Laser hair removal targets hair follicles, not sweat glands, so it doesn’t reduce how much you sweat — but less hair means less trapped moisture and odor, which is why many clients notice a practical difference during workouts.
How many sessions do underarms need?
Most clients complete 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Because underarm hair is dense and grows in fast cycles, many see a noticeable difference within the first 2–3 sessions.
Is underarm laser hair removal painful?
Most clients describe a quick warm sensation. Sessions are short, and cooling is used throughout to keep things comfortable.
Can I work out the same day as my session?
We recommend waiting 24 hours before intense exercise or swimming to avoid irritating freshly treated skin.
Will hair grow back thicker if I stop early?
No. Laser hair removal doesn’t make hair thicker at any stage — stopping early just means untreated hair keeps growing as it did before.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on whether you book single sessions or a package. Contact our manager for current pricing.
