Similar to a waxing appointment, just how naked you should get depends on the area you're getting treated. For an underarm session, you can leave your shirt on as long as the sleeves can be rolled up. "By rolling the sleeve up right towards their shoulder, the underarm area is exposed, thereby allowing the technician to treat the area," says Christian Karavolas, laser hair removal expert and founder of Romeo & Juliette Laser Hair Removal. "Normally, one keeps their bra on."
For your bikini line, you have options. "Keeping the underwear on is fine, as the bikini line covers a few inches outside and a few inches inside," Karavolas says. "One can also wear disposable underwear that could make the treatment much easier." Again, the technician may ask you to pull your clothing to the side during the appointment.
