Upper arms — laser hair removal in Vilnius

The area covers the upper part of the arm, from the shoulder joint to the elbow; the forearm is not included and is a separate item in the price list. The split is not a formality: above the elbow the hair is usually darker and denser than on the forearm, so the power is set specifically for it. The diode laser delivers its pulse to the pigment in the hair, and built-in cooling works at the moment of each flash.

This area is chosen by people who care how they look in sleeveless tops: the upper arm is the first thing that shows below a short sleeve. Dark hair usually responds well; very fair hair responds less, because the laser needs pigment — the specialist tells you this at the assessment, not after the course. If you want the whole arm with no transition between sections, there is the full arms area.

The surface is rounded, so the specialist moves the handpiece in an arc, turning your arm — on a flat pass part of the pulse would land at a glancing angle. The inner side is thinner and more sensitive than the outer side, so the settings are adjusted there; the skin is soft with almost no bone beneath it, and the treatment is felt more distinctly only near the elbow. Each visit reaches only hair in the active growth phase, and hairs grow out of sync, so the area is treated as a course with an interval of 4–8 weeks; the specialist will tell you after the assessment how many sessions you need, based on your skin phototype and hair thickness.

Preparation: shave the area with an ordinary razor the day before or on the day of your visit — the root must stay in the skin, so avoid waxing, sugaring and tweezers for 2–4 weeks before the session. For 24 hours afterwards, skip the sauna and hot baths. You also need 2–4 weeks without strong sun and sunbeds: arms are uncovered all summer and are among the first to tan, so plan a visit after a holiday in advance.
