Laser Hair Removal — Underarms

Underarm laser hair removal is one of the fastest sessions at Laser Clinic Prague — approximately five minutes per visit — using the DEKA Motus AX alexandrite laser with Moveo technology. The axillary zone is treated with the continuously gliding handpiece, which builds photothermal energy progressively in each follicle while the integrated cooling system keeps the skin surface at −4 °C to prevent discomfort. The alexandrite wavelength at 755 nm is highly selective for dark hair in the follicle and effective on lighter hair tones that diode lasers cannot reliably address. Course package: five sessions for 2,500 Kč — half the single-session rate. Wait at least four to six weeks after completing any antibiotic course before starting treatment.

Underarm laser hair removal at Laser Clinic Prague uses the DEKA Motus AX alexandrite laser, and the axillary zone is one of the most responsive areas for laser treatment: the hair follicles are relatively dense and consistent in their growth cycle, and the small surface area means the session is completed in approximately five minutes with the continuously moving Moveo handpiece. The 755 nm alexandrite wavelength targets melanin in the hair follicle with high efficiency across phototypes I–IV — the phototype range encompassing the majority of Central European clients — and the Moveo progressive delivery achieves the thermolytic temperature in each follicle over successive passes rather than a single high-fluence pulse, avoiding the sharp stinging sensation that underarm clients often report with conventional lasers. The integrated thermoelectric cooling maintains the skin surface at approximately −4 °C during the entire session. The axillary skin is thinner than the back or leg but typically tolerates the Motus AX very well because the low-peak-fluence Moveo delivery reduces epidermal thermal stress. The result is a painless session that most clients describe as a warm, tingling glide. Before treatment, the clinic checks for contraindications specific to the axillary area. Antibiotic use in the weeks prior to treatment is a contraindication for some laser systems because certain antibiotics are photosensitising and can cause unexpected skin reactions under laser exposure. The clinic requires a minimum four-to-six-week clear period after completing any antibiotic course before proceeding — a standard precaution that new clients should disclose at booking. Similarly, if a client has recently used bleaching creams or chemical deodorants containing active lightening agents, a brief clear period is recommended. The hair growth cycle in the underarm area is relatively short, and four-to-eight-week intervals between sessions are appropriate. A typical course of five to eight sessions achieves 80–90% permanent hair reduction, after which one to two annual top-up sessions may be needed for residual hair. The underarm combo package — combined with the Brazilian zone in a 4+1 free course for 15,000 Kč — is a popular combination that addresses the two most commonly treated small zones together at maximum cost efficiency. Aftercare is minimal: slight pinkness or redness around the treated follicles for a few hours is normal and resolves without treatment. Apply a moisturising cream if the skin feels tight. Avoid direct sun on the treated area and use SPF 30+ if the underarms may be exposed (unusual but relevant in summer). Avoid deodorant products containing alcohol or strong actives immediately after treatment.
