If you are wondering if laser armpit hair removal endangers the lymph nodes, this article has the answers you seek!
Permanent hair removal treatments, even in such a delicate and sensitive area, are safe.
The best choice would be to go to a centre with specialised and experienced practitioners, in order to avoid inflammation of the glands or other side effects.
Armpit hair removal and lymph nodes: which techniques can cause inflammation
Some hair removal techniques can cause skin inflammation because they do not remove the hair at the root – as is the case for permanent hair removal – but rather cut it at the surface or chemically destroy it.
Some of these hair removal techniques include:
- Waxing;
- Shaving;
- Electric epilators;
- Depilatory creams;
- DIY pulsed light.
These types of methods are invasive and aggressive choices for treating the armpits, which are home to a lot of blood vessels and lymph nodes that could be damaged.
Depilatory creams, for instance, contain chemicals that may irritate and even inflame axillary lymph nodes.
