Underarm Laser Hair Removal in Paignton

Tired of constantly shaving your underarms, dealing with stubble or irritating sensitive skin?

Underarm laser hair removal offers a simple, long-lasting way to reduce unwanted hair and enjoy smoother skin with less maintenance.

At Torbay Laser Centre in Paignton, we use advanced light-based hair removal technology with integrated & Advanced skin cooling to safely target unwanted underarm hair and progressively reduce future growth.

Treatments are quick, making underarms one of the easiest areas to fit into your routine. Over a course of sessions, hair typically becomes finer, softer and significantly reduced, meaning less time shaving and more time enjoying smoother, clearer underarms.

Why Choose Underarm Laser Hair Removal?

Underarms are one of the most popular areas for laser hair removal — and for good reason.

Less Shaving
Reduce the need for constant shaving and the stubble that quickly follows.

Smoother Skin
As hair growth reduces, your underarms can feel smoother with significantly less day-to-day maintenance.

Fewer Ingrown Hairs
Reducing hair growth can also help those who regularly experience irritation, razor bumps and ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing.

Quick Treatments
Underarms are a relatively small treatment area, with appointments typically taking around 10–15 minutes.

Long-Lasting Reduction
Rather than temporarily removing the visible hair, treatment targets the follicle responsible for producing it, progressively reducing regrowth over a course of sessions.

What to Expect From Underarm Laser Hair Removal

Underarm laser hair removal is a quick and straightforward treatment, with appointments typically taking just 10–15 minutes.

Consultation & Patch Test
Before beginning treatment, we'll assess your skin and hair, discuss what you'd like to achieve and carry out a patch test to ensure treatment is suitable for you.

Before Your Appointment
You'll need to shave your underarms before treatment, but avoid waxing, plucking or epilating as we need the hair follicle to remain intact. Your underarms should also be clean and free from deodorant on the day of treatment.

During Treatment
Controlled light energy is delivered to the treatment area, where it is absorbed by the pigment within the hair and converted into heat. This targets the follicle responsible for future hair growth. Our integrated skin cooling helps keep the area comfortable throughout treatment.


After Your Treatment
Some mild redness or warmth can occur immediately afterwards and usually settles quickly. We'll provide simple aftercare guidance and explain anything you should temporarily avoid.

Your Treatment Course
Hair grows in different stages, so multiple sessions are required to achieve the best reduction. As your course progresses, you'll typically notice less regrowth and finer, softer hair, gradually reducing your reliance on shaving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need?

Most people require a course of treatments because laser hair removal is most effective on hairs during their active growth phase. The exact number of sessions varies depending on your hair, skin and individual response to treatment. We'll discuss this with you during your consultation.

Does underarm laser hair removal hurt?

Most clients find underarm treatments very manageable. You may feel a brief warm or snapping sensation as each area is treated. Our integrated skin cooling helps keep the skin comfortable throughout your appointment.

Should I shave before underarm laser hair removal?

Yes. You should shave your underarms before your appointment so the light energy can target the hair within the follicle rather than excess hair above the skin. Avoid waxing, plucking or epilating between sessions.

Can laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?

Reducing the amount of hair that regrows can help reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs and irritation associated with shaving or waxing. Individual results can vary.

How long does underarm laser hair removal take?

Underarms are a relatively small treatment area, so the treatment itself typically takes around 10–15 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy day.

Is underarm laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. Following a successful course, regrowth is typically significantly reduced, with remaining hairs often becoming finer and softer. Occasional maintenance treatments may be needed.
