Short sleeves, a watch, a bracelet. Your arms are on show every day, and hair there bothers many women. After shaving, arm hair can look darker and coarser, and hair removal creams often irritate the skin. Arm laser hair removal weakens the hair at the root and keeps your arms smooth for a long time. We welcome women only, at our studio in Narimanov, Baku.

How many sessions you need
Hair grows in cycles, and the laser mainly affects hair in its active growth phase. So the main course for arms is usually 6-8 sessions. After the first 1-2 sessions hair becomes sparser, finer and slower to grow. The specialist sets your interval, for arms it is usually 6-8 weeks.
Laser reduces hair long term, but we do not promise a "100% forever" result. Hormonal factors sometimes mean a maintenance session is needed. The first touch-up after your first session is free, later ones are rarely needed and cost 5 AZN.
About fine hair on the arms
The 755 nm Alexandrite laser targets melanin, the pigment in the hair. That is why it works best on dark hair of medium thickness. On some parts of the arms hair can be very fine and light. The laser does not work on white, grey or very light blonde hair. At your first visit the specialist looks at your hair and tells you honestly what to expect. Read more about the machine on our Candela Alexandrite page.
How to prepare
- Shave the zone with a razor 12-24 hours before the session.
- Skip waxing, epilators and tweezers for about 4 weeks before.
- Avoid fresh tans and sunbeds for about 2 weeks before and after.
- Tell the specialist about pregnancy, breastfeeding, medication or a fresh tattoo in the zone.
What the session is like
Our laser specialist Fatima Aliyeva checks your skin and hair and sets the parameters for you. A Zimmer cold air unit cools the skin as she works. Most clients describe the feeling as a short warm snap. Hands and fingers are a small zone and take only a few minutes. The door stays closed, with only you and the specialist in the room.
After the session
Mild redness for a few hours is normal. For 24-48 hours avoid saunas, hot baths, pools and workouts that make you sweat heavily. Skip scrubs and acids for a few days and put SPF 50 on your arms outdoors. Hair sheds gradually over 7-14 days, and black dots at the root clear on their own in that time too. We cover warm weather sessions in this article.
