Armpit Clarification is an in office series that gradually brightens darkened underarm skin. After cleansing, your provider applies a professional exfoliant and a targeted brightening solution, then follows with LED light therapy to calm the area. Rather than relying on harsh bleaching agents, the treatment lifts dull buildup and encourages fresh, more even skin to surface over several visits.
It is designed for underarm darkness linked to shaving, friction, irritation or product buildup, and it can also soften rough, bumpy texture and help keep pores clear. In our Merrick clinic, your provider adjusts the exfoliant strength and pacing to your skin tone and sensitivity, so delicate skin is treated gently from the first session to the last.

What to Expect
Your first visit begins with a look at the underarm skin and a conversation about shaving habits, deodorant and any sensitivity. Each session takes about 30 to 45 minutes: cleansing, a customized exfoliant and brightening solution, then a soothing LED step. Most people feel only mild tingling. Afterward, skip shaving and fragranced deodorant for a day if advised, wear loose clothing and return weekly so results can build across the six visit series.
