Laser Hair Removal for Underarms in Kyiv and Warsaw

Laser underarm hair removal at LaserVille follows a precise protocol to ensure the procedure is as safe and effective as possible:

1. Consultation and Diagnosis. Before the first session, the specialist examines the skin and asks questions about your health condition. This helps to select the optimal laser settings according to your skin phototype and hair structure.

2. Preparing the Area. The skin is cleansed of cosmetic products and impurities; moles are marked with a white pencil if necessary. The client is provided with protective goggles.

3. Applying the Gel. A special gel is applied to improve the smooth movement of the applicator and provide additional cooling.

4. Main Stage – Laser Treatment. The Moveo handpiece glides smoothly over the skin while the laser gently destroys hair follicles without damaging surrounding tissues. The underarm procedure takes only a few minutes.

5. Soothing Care. After the treatment, the specialist applies a moisturizing cream and provides personalized aftercare recommendations.

Thanks to this step-by-step process, both female and male laser underarm hair removal sessions are comfortable, painless, and deliver predictable results. After just a few treatments, the hair becomes noticeably thinner and grows back more slowly.

For underarm laser hair removal, we use the Italian Alexandrite laser Motus AX with Moveo technology by DEKA — one of the most advanced and safest devices in the world. Its key feature is gentle and even impact on hair follicles without overheating the skin. The sapphire-cooled handpiece reduces skin sensitivity, ensures maximum comfort, and completely eliminates the risk of burns, even on delicate areas.

Special attention during laser underarm hair removal is given to clients with sensitive skin or a tendency to irritation. In such cases, our specialists select individual parameters, including laser power and pulse frequency. This allows for maximum effectiveness with minimal skin stress.

Laser underarm hair removal using Moveo technology is completely safe for your health. The laser light affects only the hair follicles and does not penetrate deeper than a few millimeters. It does not cause cancer and does not affect lymph nodes—there is no such evidence in any clinical study. When performed according to protocol, the procedure is absolutely safe.

The number of laser underarm hair removal sessions depends on individual characteristics such as skin type and hair structure. On average, 6 to 8 sessions are needed for long-lasting results, performed at intervals of 4–6 weeks. This is due to the hair growth cycle — the laser works most effectively on follicles in the active (anagen) phase, while other hairs gradually enter this stage over time.

Usually, after the first session (in about 10–20 days), you will notice a visible reduction in hair density. However, complete removal is not possible in one treatment — that’s why a course of sessions is necessary. The exact number of treatments depends on your skin phototype, hair color and density, and hormonal factors.

In some cases, the course may be shorter (for dark, coarse hair on fair skin) or slightly longer (for fine, light hair). It’s also normal for some follicles to reactivate over time. For this reason, maintenance sessions are recommended once or twice a year.
The procedure itself is very quick — laser underarm hair removal takes less than 5 minutes.

Laser hair removal is the most effective method for eliminating hair in the underarm area. When performed correctly and completed as a full course, it can reduce hair growth by over 90%. The remaining hairs become thinner, softer, and grow much more slowly.

Results are visible after the first few sessions: around 30% of the treated hairs fall out within 10–20 days after the procedure. However, it’s impossible to remove all hair in a single visit because the laser only targets follicles in the active growth phase. That’s why completing a full course of treatments is essential to affect all follicles.

The effect of a full course can last for several years, leaving the skin smooth and free from the irritation typical of traditional hair removal methods. Over time, new follicles may form naturally due to the body’s regenerative processes. To maintain perfectly smooth skin, it’s recommended to schedule maintenance sessions once or twice a year.

Despite the high effectiveness and safety of Moveo technology, laser underarm hair removal — like any aesthetic procedure — has certain limitations. Knowing and following them ensures that the course of treatments is as comfortable and safe as possible.
