Wave Goodbye to Underarm Darkness: Find Your Underarm Solution

What is Underarm Darkness?

Your underarms should naturally match the shade of the rest of your skin, but sometimes, the skin in this area can develop a darker hue. While dark underarms are usually not a serious concern, they can lead to feelings of embarrassment and discomfort, especially when wearing sleeveless clothing. In some cases, the darkening might be accompanied by itching or an unpleasant odor, further impacting your confidence.

The color of your skin is determined by pigment cells known as melanocytes. When these cells multiply excessively, they can cause the skin to darken. Although this is a common issue, with the right care and treatments, you can achieve smoother, lighter underarms. Understanding the causes and taking preventive measures can help you maintain the health and appearance of your skin.

Let Evenly guide you towards healthier, more even-toned underarms, restoring your confidence and comfort.

Causes of Dark Underarms

Friction

Constant rubbing of the skin, due to tight clothing or repetitive movement.

Shaving

Regular shaving can cause micro-abrasions on the skin.

Deodorants and antiperspirants

Certain chemicals in these products can irritate the skin, causing it to darken.

Sweat and Poor Hygiene

Accumulated sweat and a lack of proper cleansing.

Medical Conditions

Conditions like acanthosis nigricans can cause dark patches on the skin.

Hyperpigmentation

Due to hormonal changes or genetics.

Before and After Results

Advanced Dark Underarms Treatments Available at Evenly

Topical and Oral Medications

Our dermatologists offer a comprehensive approach to dark underarm treatment, providing a range of topical and oral medications tailored to your needs. These may include: Hydroquinone, Retinoids, Azelaic acid, kojic acid, glycolic acid, and arbutin and Vitamin C.

Note: It’s important to consult a dermatologist before using any skin lightening products, especially hydroquinone, as some can have side effects or require specific usage instructions.

Chemical peel

Chemical peel is a controlled skin resurfacing procedure that includes the application of a plant-based chemical solution to the affected area, which removes the dead skin and improves the tone by revealing smooth, undamaged skin and promoting the production of collagen and elastin. Chemical peels help eliminate melanin buildup, reduce pigment formation, and reveal visibly brighter skin. At Evenly Clinic, our approach to treating pigmentation with chemical peels is grounded in delivering comprehensive solutions tailored to each individual’s unique skin type and pigmentation severity. Whether you have sensitive skin or severe pigmentation concerns, our experienced dermatologists will tailor the peel to deliver optimal results while ensuring safety and comfort.

Laser Toning

Laser Toning involves the use of an advanced USFDA-approved YAG laser device that emits gentle pulses of light energy onto the targeted area. This process helps eliminate excess melanin, gradually lightening and evening out the skin tone. Our expert dermatologists are highly trained to perform this procedure, ensuring optimal results and safety for our patients.

FAQs

An eligible candidate for the treatment includes individuals aged 18 and above who experience underarm pigmentation.

Laser treatment is a safe option for reducing pigmentation on the underarm, particularly when administered by skilled dermatologists.

The number of sessions required varies based on factors like skin type, underlying cause, severity of pigmentation, treatment area, and chosen treatment method. Typically, we recommend undergoing 6–8 sessions for optimal and long-lasting results.

After laser treatment, pigmentation usually doesn't reappear; however, following proper pre and post-care instructions and attending maintenance sessions as advised by dermatologists is necessary to enjoy long-lasting results.

No, the laser treatment is not painful; one might experience pricking or burning sensations during the treatments.
