I heard that even though underarm laser hair removal looks simple, the pain can vary depending on the machine, so I looked for a place that had a machine said to be less painful. At the same time the hot laser comes out, air comes out too, which helps disperse the pain and provides a cooling function. After about the 2nd session, the hair growth slowed down, and from around the 4th-5th session, there was clearly almost none left. Now I just go once every few months for maintenance. I think this probably varies from person to person. Also, as a woman, I felt a bit uncomfortable with a male doctor seeing my... underarms, so it was nice that a female doctor was assigned. You don’t specifically choose a doctor when making a reservation; if you just book a time, they automatically assign female doctors to female patients! (For reference, it’s 49,000 won for 5 sessions.)
It does seem a bit like a factory-style clinic, but overall it seems pretty okay! But at one point I became interested in Juvelook Volume (because I wanted to naturally fill in the sunken area of my forehead), so I briefly asked a front-desk staff member about it, and they said they didn’t recommend it. Then after looking at my face, they tried to sell me on getting philtrum hair removal too, which caught me a bit off guard. My philtrum hair is absolutely not dark or noticeable... oh Whether it’s dermatology or plastic surgery, I really got the impression that they pick apart women’s faces to make money.
