As a short disclaimer, you can wear your underarm hair any way you want to. Let those axillary hairs out to breathe, if that’s how you rock. But, if you’ve been battling with course underarm hair for a while now, then hop on in because we are on the same boat. Personally, I like my underarms hairless, odorless, even-skinned, and soft. As a very vain teenager, I would try different methods to achieve pristine underarms. You name it and I’ve already probably tried it. Waxing? Of course. Shaving? Definitely. Threading? Yes, side note: underarm threading hurts. Laser? Well, I’ve done that too.
Yup, this won’t be the first time I’ll be trying laser hair removal. A long time ago, my mom gifted me laser hair removal sessions while I was in high school, because she knew I wanted to try it so badly. I went through around 10 sessions and considered adding in more. In short, it didn’t turn out too well for me. The results were very uneven. I had thin brittle hair on my left arm, but thick course hair on my right arm. That’s why I was a little skeptical about laser treatments when I tried it out again this year. To combat these feelings, I decided to look for a clinic that is well-known in the laser hair removal practice. After much deliberation, I chose the Skin House clinic in Pasig and availed the Gentlemax Laser Hair Removal.
What is the Gentlemax Laser Hair Removal?
GentleMax Pro is a great laser for hair removal that combines GentleLase an Alexandrite laser and GentleYag a ND:Yag laser. Skin House also provides the Soprano, which is a Diode laser. Both GentleMax Pro and Soprano are FDA approved and a gold standard premium for Laser Hair Removal. The choice of laser depends on the hair and skin color of the patient. Since I had fair skin and I’ve already tried laser hair removal, Gentlemax was my best bet.
What was the procedure like?
In one word, I would describe it as quick. The procedure took no time at all. I felt like I was in and out of the clinic, which is a good thing for anyone who is working during the pandemic. As for the pain, I felt little to no pain at all. I did feel the sting, but it felt more like a slap rather than anything else.
Basically, they’ll have you laid out on a bed with your arms up. The nurse then takes a photo of your armpit to keep track of your progress. After which, they’ll prep your underarms for the procedure. Then, they’ll press the laser on parts of your skin. Lastly, they’ll take all the products off and apply a cream. Skin House will provide you with anti-inflammatory cream for the after care, which you need to apply twice a day for three days.
Did it work?
Yes, but you have to be patient. It’s important to take note that the results are not immediate. All my doubts were washed away two weeks after the procedure was done. At first, I thought it was all sham, so I contacted Skin House to let them know my situation. I was expecting them to fall off in the middle of the two weeks, but it doesn’t work that way. They told me to update them again once the prescribed time has passed. And just like that, all my underarm hair fell off after two weeks. It’ll be brittle enough for you to pull out, but they will all fall out naturally.
Let’s weigh it in…
Pro’s
- Quick and easy procedure
- Low maintenance
- Very effective

- Long lasting
Con’s

Verdict of Skin House’s Gentlemax Laser Hair Removal
I would highly recommend Skin House’s Gentlemax Laser Hair Removal. It definitely works and I’m so happy I don’t have to think about my underarm hair anymore. It’s safe, efficient, quick, and it does the job perfectly. If you don’t have enough cash to spend on laser hair removal, then you save up for it or use your LYKA gems.
Thinking about it, it’ll save you a lot of money if you don’t have to get your armpits waxed every month. Plus, you wouldn’t need to go out as much because you do your sessions once per month. You can book a session with Skin House by sending them a message on Facebook or Instagram.
