General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
What is the difference between hair removal and hyperhidrosis treatment?
Laser hair removal mainly targets hair, while hyperhidrosis treatment mainly targets excessive sweat. Materials for each should not be used as evidence of the other's effect. In consultation, separating whether hair or sweat that wets clothing is the main concern makes it easier to determine the necessary plan.

Is it okay to choose hair removal because of odor?
You may want easier shaving and hygiene management, but do not expect a definite reduction in odor as a treatment outcome. Please inform when the odor becomes strong and any accompanying skin symptoms. Consultation may also be needed to evaluate causes other than hair.
Is it okay to apply deodorant?
Check with your appointment clinic about the products and cleansing instructions used in the treatment area. If your skin becomes stinging or red with a new product, you should inform them in advance. It is best to resume use before and after the laser according to your actual skin condition and the guidance provided.
If shaving marks are dark, will hair removal lighten them?
You need to distinguish between the shadow of hair and the pigmentation of the skin itself. Changes in hair reduction do not mean treatment of all underarm pigmentation. If there is longstanding irritation or repeated inflammation, explain your pigmentation concerns separately in a consultation.
Can I have it on the same day as sweat treatment?
If you plan two treatments on the same treatment area, you need to check the order, skin condition, and recovery for each. Do not decide to do them on the same day just for convenience or package pricing. Ask whether you can evaluate your next goal after seeing the response to one treatment.
If you are preparing for an underarm consultation in Daegu city?
When making a hair removal appointment in downtown Daegu, separate and communicate additional concerns such as sweat, odor, or pigmentation.
