Brief Answer:
Removal of underarm hair causes breast cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Removal of underarm hair causes breast cancer.
With shaved armpits invisible pores are formed in the armpit area which allows the toxin and chemicals from a variety of products such as deodorant, powder, and creams to enter the skin easily.
Antiperspirant deodorant toxin can entere from the armpit and bed buried in the breast resulting in the emergence of cancer.
Underarm hair protect the armpit from the toxic substance entering the underarm lymph glands and prevent toxins from entering the breast.

Does removing the hair from the armpit with a LASER hair removal procidure is more dangeres then shaving the armpit ? Concerning breast cancer ?
Brief Answer:
LASER hair removal procedure less dangerous
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Laser hair removal from armpit is less dangerous than shaving armpit and does not cause breast cancer because it uses non ionizing radiation.
This type of radiation produces intense heat but does not cause cell mutation.
In fact non ionizing radiation surrounds us every day. Sources of this type of radiation include ultraviolet light, visible light, power lines, cellular phones and many household appliances.
The lasers used for hair removal produce much the same type of heat as an ordinary light bulb.
Although laser hair removal does not cause cancer, it is not a completely risk-free procedure.
Temporary scabbing and mild skin irritation are common side effects.
Changes in hair regrowth, such as hair growing in lighter or hair growing in next to the treated area are also common.
Laser hair removal can also cause acne flare-ups. Skin darkening and lightening can also occur and may be permanent. These conditions are called hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation, respectively.
Although rare, blisters, scars and changes in skin texture have also been reported.
