How to prevent underarm hair from feeling prickly after shaving
In general, after shaving underarm hair, you can alleviate discomfort by moisturizing, applying nourishing creams, avoiding friction, delaying re-shaving, and using soothing products. For underarm hair removal, medical aesthetic treatments such as intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal, ice-point hair removal, and photonic hair removal are recommended, as they can help reduce post-shaving discomfort.
After shaving underarm hair, avoid wearing rough clothing and minimize friction to prevent increased skin irritation. Pay attention to skin hydration and choose products containing soothing ingredients, such as aloe vera gel, which can help relieve dryness and discomfort following hair removal.
