Is Getting Laser Hair Removal on Underarms Safe?

dramatic_curves
I got my first treatment of laser hair removal about 1 month ago on my legs and noticed a huge difference. My mom noticed too and she is happy. However, I do have a lot of hair on my underarms that I would like to get lasered as well. My mom on the other hand, does not want me to get laser hair removal there. She isn't sure that it is safe. Also, is laser on the underarms more painful than the legs? I think another reason is that she doesn't like to see me in pain. I'm mature and can handle pain
