In this article, we will explore how Pico Laser works to achieve whiter underarms and some essential tips for getting the best results.
How Does Pico Laser Create Magic For The Underarm?
Pico Laser is an amazing laser treatment that delivers ultra-short bursts of energy to the targeted area in picoseconds that rapidly delivers laser energy to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, resulting in the breakdown of unwanted pigmentation, such as melanin, without damaging the surrounding skin.
The laser’s energy shatters the pigment particles into tiny fragments, allowing the body’s immune system to eliminate them naturally over time. This process leads to a gradual lightening of the underarm area, revealing brighter and more even-toned skin.
Essential Tips For Pico Laser Underarm Whitening
Consult A Professional:
Before embarking on any laser treatment, it is important to consult with a qualified professional that will assess your skin type, medical history, and specific concerns to determine if Pico Laser is the right option for you in order to create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin’s condition and needs.
Sun Protection:
Protecting your underarms from the sun is essential, especially after undergoing Pico Laser treatments. Sun exposure can lead to further pigmentation and hinder the progress made during the whitening process. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 50 to the treated area daily is highly recommended.
Follow Post-Treatment Care:
After each Pico Laser session, your skin may be slightly sensitive and red. Your healthcare provider will provide specific post-treatment care instructions to follow. These may include avoiding hot showers, saunas, or strenuous activities for a day or two. Applying a soothing cream or gel as recommended can help alleviate any discomfort and aid in the healing process.
Multiple Sessions:
While Pico Laser offers impressive results, achieving whiter underarms often requires multiple treatment sessions. The number of sessions required will depend on individual factors such as skin type, the severity of pigmentation, and desired results. On average, most people undergo 5 to 10 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Patience:
Pico Laser is a safe and effective procedure, but it is essential to have realistic expectations. The skin’s healing process takes time, and visible results may not be immediate. Patience and consistency in following the recommended treatment plan will yield the best outcomes.

Pico Laser can provide underarm whitening with a safe, carefully targeted, and effective solution to unwanted pigmentation using ultra-short bursts of laser energy to break down pigmentation for brighter and fairer underarms. It is essential to consult with a qualified professional to determine the most suitable plan for you.
