Introduction
Unwanted underarm hair can be a nuisance, requiring constant maintenance through shaving, waxing, or threading. At Urban Skin and Hair Clinic, we offer advanced Laser Hair Removal for the underarm area, a permanent solution to unwanted hair. Our laser treatments provide smooth, hair-free skin, saving you time and effort while offering a long-lasting, effective solution.
Underarm hair removal involves using laser technology to target the hair follicles in the underarm area. The laser emits a concentrated light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. This non-invasive procedure results in smoother, hair-free skin and eliminates the need for frequent shaving or waxing.
What Causes Unwanted Hair Growth?
Unwanted hair growth occurs when hormonal imbalances, genetics, or certain medical conditions trigger excess hair production in areas like the face, arms, or body. Elevated levels of androgens (male hormones), often seen in conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), can cause coarse, dark hair growth in women. Other contributors include stress, certain medications, obesity, and hereditary factors, which may disrupt normal hormone function.
Several factors can contribute to excessive hair growth in the underarm area:
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal imbalances, such as those caused by PCOS, menopause, or pregnancy, can lead to increased hair growth in the underarms.
- Genetics: A family history of excessive body or facial hair can increase the likelihood of developing underarm hair.
- Age: Hormonal changes during puberty and as we age can lead to the development of thicker, coarser hair in the underarm region.
- Medications: Certain medications, particularly those with hormonal effects, can promote excessive hair growth in areas like the underarms.
- Excessive Sun Exposure: Prolonged sun exposure can stimulate the production of melanin, causing the hair in the underarm area to darken and thicken.
