Q: Can underarm laser hair removal damage eyes?

Laser beam. That's why you wear protective suntan goggles or wavelength-specific glasses with side and top shields. You can't have laser hair removal near the eyes without special stainless eye shields like huge contact lenses. But for the underarm, just wear your goggles and don't look at the beam. If you peeked, there could be potential damage; see ophthalmologist for evaluation.

Question 1

How long until you can start wearing deodorant after having laser hair removal on your armpits?

Accepted Answer

If the treatment had no side effects such as burning of the skin, you can apply deodorant pretty much right after your treatment. However, sometimes the skin may be slightly sensitive, so you may want to wait a little while.

Question 2

Will laser hair removal on my armpits cause itching?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal will more likely cause pain that itching.  Pain is generally present with application of laser, however, it will quickly resolve.  Itching is possible when any inflammation occurs.  This may be improved with hydrocortisone cream.

First things first.  If there is a palpable node in axilla that does not represent hidradenitis then origin of node if first needed.  One can have a metastatic tumor from arm or chest wall, a lymphoma or inflammatory node from shaving.  Once Ca ruled out, one can use laser hair removal

Question 8

Part of my mole has changed color after a laser hair removal treatment. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

The laser used for laser hair removal shines in the skin and the hair equally. Pigmented skin, like in a mole, will tend to absorb more laser energy that pale white skin, so color change is possible. On the other hand, if the mole was changing and you only noticed it because you had hair removal in the area, this should be checked out by your dermatologist. If there is any doubt, get checked out.

Question 9

For how long should i avoid taking amino acids and herbal complex enzymes for digestion after laser hair removal ? your answer is appreciated

Accepted Answer

I do not usually recommend stopping herbal or dietary supplements routinely for laser hair removal.  I think if your doctor recommend you stop prior to the treatment that it should be fine to resume as normal after your treatment.
