Is areolar hair removal safe?

Yes — low energy and small-spot precision are used, performed by a trained female specialist. We recommend starting after completion of pregnancy/breastfeeding.

Can the full arm be treated in one session?

Yes — upper arm, lower arm, hands, and fingers can be done together, each at appropriate energy. Total time ~30-40 minutes.

How many sessions for upper body?

Varies by area and density: underarms ~5-7 sessions, arms and back ~6-8 for stable reduction.

Can I shower or exercise on the treatment day?

Gentle showering is fine; avoid sauna and intense exercise. Friction and sweat can temporarily irritate skin.

Can I use deodorant after underarm treatment?

Use only non-irritating products for 24 hours post-treatment; resume regular deodorant once the skin has calmed.

Does it work on fine (vellus) hair?

Laser relies on melanin, so light-colored fine hair responds less. Additional treatments like Potenza may be combined if needed.

What is Apogee Plus Female Upper Body Hair Removal?

Apogee Plus is a 755nm Alexandrite laser optimized for Asian skin, safely applied across the entire upper body — underarms, arms, hands, areola, abdomen, back, and bra line. Upper-body visibility makes clean-line maintenance essential.

How it works

The Alexandrite wavelength acts selectively on follicular melanin, deactivating hair growth centers. Repeated sessions at 4-6 week intervals aligned with hair cycle are needed; dual cooling minimizes discomfort and skin irritation.

Area-by-area care

Underarms: most-visible priority, stable reduction in 5-7 sessions
Arms/hands/fingers: simultaneous treatment, efficient coverage
Areola/navel: sensitive care by dedicated female specialist
Back/waist/bra line: detailed care for fine hair

Apogee Plus at Seye Clinic

We diagnose upper-body hair density and skin state to personalize energy. Sensitive areas are treated by experienced female specialist nurses to ensure privacy and safety.

FAQ

Laser hair removal itself doesn't directly treat pigmentation, but eliminating repeated shaving irritation often helps darkening fade gradually. For severe pigmentation, combined protocols with Pico Toning are recommended.
