[Yeosu Naon Clinic] I was worried if underarm laser hair removal would be effective.

I have always been very stressed about my underarm hair. For a woman, my hair is on the thicker side; to put it into perspective, it felt like it grew at the level of an adult man's hair. Even if I shaved in the morning, it would grow back dark quickly the next day, and even a little bit of growth would sting and look patchy, so I was self-conscious about wearing sleeveless tops.

Especially during the summer, I had to shave every day. After shaving, my skin would turn red or sting, and sometimes hairs would grow inward like ingrown hairs, causing inflammation. Shaving every time was a hassle, and the skin irritation was severe, so I started considering laser hair removal.

However, my biggest concern was the effectiveness. Since my hair is so thick and dense, I wondered, "At this rate, wouldn't getting laser treatments a few times be useless?" I was also worried about the pain. People around me described it as feeling like being snapped hard with a rubber band, so I was scared, and I also wondered if the satisfaction would be worth the cost.

So, I visited Naon Clinic in Yeosu for a consultation. I had heard good things about it from people around me, and I chose it because I heard they have extensive experience with hair removal procedures. Above all, it was convenient to access from my home, so I was able to visit without any hesitation.

I arrived at the hospital and had a consultation, and I was pleased that the explanation was much more detailed than I expected. They personally examined my skin condition, hair thickness, and density to explain why multiple treatments are necessary, and I felt reassured to hear that in some cases, the laser response is actually better when the hair is on the thicker side.

They also explained in detail that the hair does not disappear immediately after removal, but rather gradually thins out and grows back slower, resulting in a reduction in density. I was also able to hear an explanation regarding the pain, which was what I was most curious about. They assured me that while it varies from person to person, it is quite bearable, which really helped ease my tension.

What I liked about the consultation was that they answered each question one by one without giving off the impression that they were annoyed. It was also very helpful that they explained the hyperpigmentation and skin irritation caused by frequent shaving.

Honestly, before visiting, I was very worried that I might just be wasting my money, but my perspective changed a lot after the consultation. After fully hearing about the principles of hair removal, the expected process, and aftercare methods, my vague anxiety decreased significantly, and I gained hope that if I continue the treatment, I can be freed from the stress of shaving every day like I do now.

If you, like me, have thick and abundant underarm hair and are stressed about shaving every day, I would recommend getting a consultation at least once. I was most worried about whether it would be effective, but after receiving a consultation in person, I understood why so many people get laser hair removal. I hope this helps those with similar concerns.
