Under Arms
Underarms is a clinically advanced, medical-grade skin resurfacing treatment specifically adapted for the axillary (underarm) region — one of the most commonly neglected yet aesthetically sensitive areas of the body. Using a carbon dioxide laser beam at 10,600 nm wavelength, the treatment delivers thousands of precise microscopic thermal columns deep into the underarm skin — vaporising pigmented, damaged epidermal cells while triggering the body’s own collagen regeneration and skin renewal process below.
Types of Under Arm Pigmentation
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Friction-Induced Chronic Darkening
Long-term friction can cause underarm darkening, and laser treatment helps resurface damaged skin, improve pigmentation, and promote smoother, healthier skin over multiple sessions.
Acanthosis Nigricans (Mild to Moderate)
Laser treatment can help improve the texture and pigmentation of mild to moderate acanthosis nigricans, but managing the underlying hormonal or metabolic cause is essential for lasting results.
Deodorant-Induced Contact Pigmentation
Pigmentation caused by deodorant irritation responds well to laser treatment, helping restore a more even underarm skin tone once the triggering product is discontinued.
Medication or Hormone-Induced Pigmentation
Pigmentation linked to medications or hormonal changes may respond to laser treatment, but results vary and improve when the underlying cause is properly managed.
Post-Shaving Stubble Darkness
Darkness caused by visible hair beneath the skin is best treated with laser hair reduction, while combination treatments can further improve overall underarm skin tone.
Calms inflammation
The Ice phase immediately neutralises any skin stress from exfoliation — making it safe and soothing even for sensitive and acne-prone skin types.
Clears acne & blemishes
Glycolic and salicylic acids unclog pores, remove acne-causing debris, and reduce blemishes — while niacinamide regulates sebum production.
Pregnancy & breastfeeding safe
The iS Clinical Fire & Ice formulation is FDA-confirmed safe for pregnant and breastfeeding individuals — one of the very few intensive clinical facials with this distinction.
Step-by-step Procedure
Dermatology Consultation & Cause Identification
A detailed skin assessment helps identify the cause of underarm pigmentation, skin type, and any underlying medical conditions to create the most effective treatment plan.
Pre-Treatment Priming
A pre-treatment skin priming routine helps reduce pigmentation risk, calm melanocyte activity, and prepare the skin for safer, more effective healing—especially important for Indian skin tones.
Area Cleansing & Topical Anaesthesia
The underarm area is thoroughly cleansed and numbed with a topical anaesthetic to ensure a comfortable and effective laser treatment experience.
Laser Parameter Setting
Laser settings are carefully adjusted based on underarm skin thickness, pigmentation, and skin type to ensure safe, precise, and effective treatment with minimal risk.
Fractional CO₂ Laser Delivery
The laser is carefully applied across the underarm area, creating controlled micro-injuries to target pigmentation and stimulate skin renewal, with each session typically completed in 15–30 minutes.
Immediate Cooling & Post-Treatment Care
Cooling therapy, protective healing ointment, and aftercare guidance are provided immediately after treatment to soothe the skin and support smooth healing.
