Tampa Underarm Laser Hair Removal

and Electrolysis

Underarms are one of the most popular and most satisfying areas to treat, and it is easy to see why. You shave them constantly, they are prone to razor burn and ingrown hairs, and years of shaving can leave the skin looking darker and irritated. Underarm laser hair removal at Laser Affair ends the daily routine and gives you smooth, low-maintenance skin you do not have to think about.

We have specialized in hair removal in Tampa since 2011, and underarms are a quick, high-impact area to start with. Here is what you need to know.

Why Treat Your Underarms?

The underarm is a small area that causes an outsized amount of hassle. Treating it solves a lot of everyday annoyances at once:

No more daily shaving or last-minute razor scrambles before a sleeveless top

Fewer ingrown hairs and less of the bumpy irritation that comes with them

Brighter-looking skin, since constant shaving can leave the area looking shadowed or darkened

Because the area is so small, sessions are fast and easy to fit into a lunch break.

Laser or Electrolysis? You Have Options

Here is something most Tampa studios cannot offer: we do both laser and electrolysis under one roof, so we will always steer you toward whatever genuinely works for your hair.

Laser is the fast, efficient choice for the darker, coarser hair most people have under their arms, and it covers the whole area in minutes. Electrolysis is the answer for the hairs a laser physically cannot see, like white, grey, red, and light blonde, and it is the only FDA-approved method for truly permanent removal. Many clients use laser for the bulk of the work and electrolysis to clean up any stragglers.

Laser Hair Removal for All Skin Tones

Plenty of people have been told they are “not a candidate” for laser hair removal because of their skin tone. That is outdated information. At our Tampa studio we run two laser systems so we can safely and effectively treat the full range of skin tones.

The Alexandrite laser (755nm) is ideal for lighter skin with darker hair. It works quickly and is a great fit for Fitzpatrick skin types I through III.

The Nd:YAG laser (1064nm) penetrates deeper and bypasses the surface layers of the skin, which makes it safe for darker and melanin-rich skin tones (types IV through VI). It is also gentle on coarse hair, which makes it a strong choice for underarms.

Your technician selects the right laser, or the right combination, based on your skin and hair. If you have deeper skin and have been turned away elsewhere, our treatments for brown skin were built with you in mind.

How Underarm Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal targets the pigment inside the hair follicle with light. The energy is absorbed, the follicle is disabled, and over a series of sessions the hair grows back finer and more sparse until most of it stops returning at all.

Because hair grows in cycles, the laser only affects follicles that are in their active growth phase on the day of treatment. That is why a course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart delivers the best result. Underarm hair tends to be coarse and pigmented, which is exactly what the laser targets best, so many clients are happy with how quickly the area responds.

What to Expect

Underarm sessions are quick, often just a few minutes since the area is small. Most clients describe the sensation as a light snap or a warm pinch. There is no downtime, so you can head straight back to work or on with your day.

A little prep goes a long way. Arrive with the area clean and freshly shaved, avoid tanning before and after your visit, and skip plucking or waxing between sessions, since the laser needs an intact follicle to target. We walk you through all of the aftercare so nothing catches you by surprise.

I have found Laser Affairs after shopping at a couple of other places where I thought I was getting a good deal through a package. Those offers turned out to be baits to attract customers, only costing more down the road. I now drive an hour and forty-five minutes to this place, and it is worth every mile of it! What I liked most about Laser Affairs is that this is a CLINIC, not a salon or a spa. From the moment they answer the phone to the moment they accompany you to your car, they are professionals. The free consultation was super helpful. The pricing for the treatment is transparent and very reasonable--no tricks, no add-ons, no surprises! The availability of a real doctor who can prescribe medications was a huge plus for me. The individualized treatment plan Mary Beth devised for me and the latest technology they utilize ensured that my treatment (a very sensitive and break-out-prone full body) was a success. The ease of parking and the cleanness of the clinic also contributed to a great experience. I appreciated Mary Beth's answering my questions with patience and sensitivity. She never made me feel like I was taking her time or being overly concerned. I knew I would not get into such a major and long-term treatment if I did not trust the provider, and without ever being pushy, Mary Beth provided me with the knowledge that I needed to have. I feel 10 years healthier, younger, happier, and prettier! Thank you Mary Beth!

After lapsing on my Laser Hair treatment for about two years I finally had enough growth to where I was really getting bothered by the stubble again. Unfortunately, I had moved away from my usual technician in Georgia and that was part of the reason why I put it off for so long, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to find someone who knew what they were doing and had a machine that would work as well as my previous one. I searched and made multiple phone calls before finding Laser Affair. I had read that the Candela machines they use were really effective And I liked that Laser Hair Removal was their only specialty. The results after my first treatment were so good that I was beyond happy to spend my money on something that worked. I’m moving to Lakeland soon, but will be making the hour drive for touchups, happily.

Excellent service! I initially came to Laser Affair for my upper lip, then decided to have my lower legs completed also. Brianna and Mary Beth are very knowledgeable and thorough and take the time to explain everything and ensure that you are comfortable. They answer all your questions honestly and provide a clear and detailed explanation of what you can expect from the process. I am very pleased with the results so far. I highly recommend!

If you are considering getting a tattoo in the near future I highly recommend taking advantage of Laser Affair’s services in the area you want to get it! You are unable to do so after the fact, and not having any hair to dull the tattoo makes a huge difference. My treatments got rid of unwanted hair in minimal sessions, and Laser Affair’s staff were very accommodating and are wonderful people. I can’t recommend their services enough!!

ELECTROLYSIS & LASER Hair Removal FAQs

Most clients feel a quick, warm snap rather than real pain. The underarm can be a little sensitive, but the area is small, so sessions are over fast and our technicians adjust settings to keep you comfortable.

It varies with your hair type and skin tone, but because underarm hair is usually dark and coarse, it tends to respond well. Most people need a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart. We give you a realistic estimate at your consultation.

Yes. Our Nd:YAG laser is designed to treat darker and melanin-rich skin tones safely, so you can get results without the risks that come from using the wrong device.

Many clients notice the area looks brighter once they stop shaving daily, since the shadow of stubble and the irritation from the razor are gone. Results vary from person to person, and we will set realistic expectations at your visit.
