Question 1

i have a swollen lymph node in my armpit (doctor confirmed that is what it is).  i want to get laser hair removal  in armpits.  is that ok?

Accepted Answer

No: 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 2

will laser hair removal on my underarms and bikini line damage my lymph nodes or put them at risk?

Accepted Answer

There is no risk.: Laser hair removal may cause your lymph nodes to enlarge temporarily with the inflammation of healing but there is no damage or risk.

Question 3

might laser hair removal be dangerous around front of the neck (lymph nodes)?

Accepted Answer

No: A laser is a single wavelength of light that does not scatter and matches the color of the hair follicle which it is aimed out. It should be purfectly safe to have done.

Question 4

recently had pain in one side of my labia after i had masturbated the night before. laser hair removal treatment that next day and came back with 4 blisters and now yeast infection, swollen lymph nodes, and a few more small blisters. answers???

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment.    A complication from the laser hair treatment is a possibility. Blisters with swollen lymph glands sounds concerning for herpes. You need to be seen by a Obgyn who can do an exam and appropriate testing.

Question 5

can you tell me for underarm wax removal, is veet or nairs better in terms of the hair removal and regrowth time?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal: Laser hair removal for permanent hair reduction without the use of chemicals or electrolysis is recommended to most of my patients. We have found the Gentle ProMax the most comfortable and efficacious device.

Question 6

hello, i scratched my armpit vigorously 2 days before using hair removal cream and it burned my skin causing weeping sores. what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Medical exam: you may have a mixed chemical burn with secondary infection, Bacteria from you hand may have transferring to the armpit area. Call for an exam today!

Question 7

is elos hair removal safe if i have a small mall on my armpit ?

Accepted Answer

Question is unclear: A "small mall" on the armpit? However, a quick search of the Elos hair removal product sold on Amazon reveals many poor reviews (53% were only one-star reviews). That usually means the product doesn't do what the buyer wants it to do.

Question 8

i got my 2nd setting for hair removal laser. and after this setting, itching started in my bikini and axilla. should i continue laser??

Accepted Answer

Reaction after laser: Having a localized reaction after a hair removal laser session is normal. Slight redness is common and the itching is most likely due to inflammation and a localized histamine response to the treated area. If it persists I would see your laser provider but it should be gone within 24 to 4$ hours. You should be able to have your next treatment without difficulty.

Question 9

is elos hair removal safe if i have a small mole on my armpit ?

Accepted Answer

Should not affect it: It really depends on the mole. A "regular" raised mole is of no consequence but a flat dark mole might have to be checked before the treatment is done.

Question 10

can underarm laser hair removal damage eyes?

Accepted Answer

If you look at the : Laser beam. That&#x27;s why you wear protective suntan goggles or wavelength-specific glasses with side and top shields. You can&#x27;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&#x27;t look at the beam. If you peeked, there could be potential damage; see ophthalmologist for evaluation.
