Laser hair removal is a wonderful way to rid yourself of unwanted hair anywhere on the body. It is not done only for cosmetic purposes. Thick, dark hair can cause a lot of problems, especially when removed by waxing, threading or plucking. It can cause ingrowths, bumps like pimples and can get a bacterial infection, sometimes even requiring surgery. Hair and skin of underarms harbor bacteria that cause body odor. And it has always grown when you want to go sleeveless! So you find yourself pinning down your arms to your sides. What a hassle! With every session of laser, the hair growth becomes slower, thinner and lighter till it stops being a bother. It is a safe, effective and largely pain free procedure.
