Underarm laser hair removal in Málaga

At Narumi Estética Avanzada & Bienestar, Calle Cristo de la Epidemia 33, in Málaga city centre, near La Victoria and the historic centre. As an underarm session takes around 10 minutes, many people fit it in after work or between errands. We use a diode laser with a cooled sapphire tip and the session is carried out by Marta Fernández.

Because it's a small, quick area where the hair is usually coarse and dark, which is what responds best to the diode. It lets you see how the pulses feel and how your skin reacts for little time and outlay. If you're happy, it's easy to add other areas or move to a package with the bikini and pubic area at the same appointment.

The price of an underarm session and of the bikini, pubic area and underarms package are in the price table on this page and on our prices page. If you already know you also want your bikini line done, the package usually works out better value than paying for both areas separately. We'll advise you at your consultation, with no obligation.

For the first 24 hours it's best not to, and never one with alcohol or perfume, as the skin is more sensitive and may sting. From the next day you can use a gentle alcohol-free deodorant. Before the session, try to come without deodorant: some contain metallic salts that should be removed before the laser is applied.

It doesn't reduce sweating: sweat glands aren't what laser hair removal targets. If you sweat excessively, speak to your dermatologist, as there are specific treatments for it. What many people do notice is a fresher feeling, because with less hair less moisture is trapped and deodorant spreads more evenly.

Usually yes, with the energy adjusted, because skin with more pigment absorbs more light. Laser won't lighten that skin, but once you stop shaving every day or ripping the hair out with wax, the area stops being irritated over and over. If the mark is recent, changes in appearance or you don't know what's causing it, see your dermatologist first.

Around 10 minutes for both underarms, including cleansing and the soothing cream at the end. If you combine it with the bikini and pubic area in the package, allow a little over half an hour in total. It's one of our shortest sessions, so you don't need to set aside half a morning.

Leave 24 hours before an intense workout, a spin class or a sauna. Sweat, rubbing from sportswear and heat on freshly treated skin all encourage irritation and spots. A walk or gentle activity is fine. If you compete, try not to book the session for the day before an event.

Yes, more and more, for comfort, hygiene or sport. Some prefer to reduce the hair without leaving the underarm completely bare: in that case we do fewer sessions or space them further apart. Men's underarm hair is usually denser, so it may need a session or two more than women's.
