Underarm Whitening Laser
腋下镭射激光
Dark underarms is a common problem that many struggle with, especially in hot and humid weather conditions like we have here in Singapore. You are not alone! Fortunately, it is a condition that can be treated with laser therapy that is done by MOH-certified doctors.
What causes Dark Underarms?
Dark underarms can be caused by a variety of factors. It’s important to note that while some causes may be related to personal habits or hygiene, others may be influenced by genetic or medical conditions. Here are some possible causes of dark underarms:
Shaving or Plucking
Regular shaving or plucking can cause irritation and lead to the darkening of the skin in the underarm area.
Deodorants and Antiperspirants
Some deodorants and antiperspirants may contain harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin and contribute to darkening.
Friction
Constant rubbing or friction from tight clothing can cause darkening of the underarms.
Dead Skin Cells
Insufficient cleaning of the underarm area can lead to the accumulation of sweat, bacteria, and dead skin cells, contributing to darkening.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during pregnancy or due to hormonal disorders, can contribute to darkening.
Genetics
Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to have darker underarms.
Medical Conditions
Certain medical conditions, such as acanthosis nigricans (a skin condition often associated with insulin resistance), can cause darkening of the skin folds, including the underarms.
Sun Exposure
Excessive exposure to the sun without adequate protection can lead to darkening of the skin, including the underarms.
How does Underarm Whitening Laser work?
What sets laser treatment apart from other underarm whitening treatments is that it is safe to use on all skin types and skin tones.
The laser technology targets melanin in the skin, gently breaking down pigmentation without harming the surrounding skin.
Benefits of Underarm Whitening Pico Laser Treatment
Cove’s Underarm Whitening Laser uses the Pico Laser, a new generation laser that produces ultra-short laser pulses in picoseconds. These pulses are 100 times shorter than Q-switched laser pulses, but it sends more laser shots into the dermis simultaneously.
- Safe and effective for treating all skin types and skin tones
- Improves synthesis of elastin and collagen, leading to smoother and better skin texture
- Visible reduction in pigmentation in just a few sessions
