Do you feel embarrassed by the blackness in the underarm area?
What is cold peeling of the armpit?
Cold or chemical peeling for underarm is an advanced cosmetic procedure that relies on the use of a medical combination of exfoliants such as lactic acid, kojic acid, and salicylic acid to gently remove layers of pigmented skin and dead cells in the armpit area without harming the skin or causing infections.
Steps for cold exfoliation of the armpit
The steps for underarm cold peeling take approximately 20 to 30 minutes and are 6 steps carried out by a specialized medical team that includes dermatologists, plastic surgeons and a nursing team. They include the following:
1. Cleanse and prepare the skin
Doctors use a specialized medical solution to clean the skin well before the session, and it is free of perfumes or any substances that irritate the skin, in order to prepare the armpit area and sterilize it from any bacteria, deodorant residue, or any fats.
2. Dry the skin well
After cleaning, the doctor begins to dry the skin under the armpit well using sterile gauze or a medical towel that is used for only one patient and is disposed of immediately, until he is sure that the skin has become clean and dry and that there is no moisture that will reduce the effectiveness of the substance.
3. Apply a peeling session
The peeling material or the actual peeling session is applied using a small soft brush intended to distribute the peeling material on the armpit in a precise and even manner, making sure not to touch any area outside the armpit so as not to irritate the skin.
4. Leave the peeling material behind
The doctor usually leaves it on the area for a full 10 minutes or less in the case of sensitive skin. During that period, the substance begins to break up skin pigmentation and remove dead cells efficiently and effectively, which stimulates new layers to appear.
5. Remove scrub residue
After the period has elapsed, the doctor begins to remove the remains of the scrub to clean the skin using sterile gauze or a medical towel with a gentle medical solution until he gets rid of the remains quietly without rubbing the skin so as not to cause skin irritation.
6. Moisturizing the skin
The doctor applies a soothing cream or gel containing gentle moisturizing substances to sensitive areas such as the armpit in order to reduce redness and stimulate the skin regeneration process, which is an essential step to stabilize the lightening effect.

7 of the most important benefits of cold exfoliation of the armpit
Learn with us, my dear, about the 7 most important benefits of cold peeling sessions for the armpits, which have proven effective in many cases:
1. Effectively lighten the underarm area
Cold peeling works to get rid of surface skin cells that have been affected by pigmentation and darkening, which helps to effectively lighten the armpit area and reduce darkening resulting from continuous sweating and friction.
2. Skin cell regeneration
This technique stimulates the regeneration of natural skin cells and helps form new, fresher and more vibrant layers, making the skin smooth and radiant.
3.Unify skin color
The sessions work to unify the skin color and give the area a harmonious appearance after removing dark spots and annoying pigmentation, so the skin under the armpit becomes close to the natural body color, which gives you a harmonious and natural appearance.
4. Smooth texture without pain and immediate results
Immediately after the session, you will feel nice softness and smooth skin because exfoliation helps gently remove the rough and dry layers, and this feeling increases with repeated sessions.
5. A completely safe session on the skin
The session is completely safe for the skin, even with sensitive skin, because the materials used are specifically designed for sensitive areas such as the armpit area. It is not performed with heat or strong exfoliants, provided that it is done with a specialized doctor and completely staying away from beauty salons.
6. Reducing hair growth under the armpit
Experiments conducted on cold exfoliation of the armpits have proven that it actually helps reduce hair growth over time because it cleans deep pores and prevents clogging of hair follicles, which reduces hair growth and the appearance of pimples or infections under the skin.
7. Improve absorption of care products
The sessions help prepare the armpit area to receive therapeutic skin care products such as moisturizers and other products, because they help get rid of dead cells, which improves the area’s ability to absorb lightening and moisturizing creams and lotions.

When do the results of cold armpit peeling appear?
The duration for the results of cold peeling of the armpit to appear varies from one case to another depending on the skin type and the degree of skin pigmentation. The duration for the results to appear can be divided as follows:
- Initial results usually appear immediately after the peeling session in the form of visible smoothness on the skin.
- During the first week after the session, the skin begins to gradually peel in preparation for renewing damaged skin cells.
- After 3 weeks and after two sessions, a clear difference appears in the color of the skin under the armpit and tanning is reduced by 40%.
- The final result appears after approximately 4 to 6 sessions, depending on the degree of pigmentation. The time interval between sessions is usually 14 days, after which the tan disappears completely and the smoothness and freshness of the skin increases.
