Permanent hair removal made easy
Hair removal is an issue that affects both women and men and refers to the removal of unwanted body hair. Whether it's annoying stubble on the legs, annoying hairs on the arms or unwanted hair on the face - constantly shaving, waxing or epilating can become an annoying and tedious task.
Unwanted hair growth can occur at different stages of life. During puberty, many people's body hair begins to multiply and thicken. For some, unwanted hair growth can also occur later in life due to genetic predisposition or hormonal changes. Some women, for example, suffer from excessive facial hair growth, which many of those affected find unpleasant.
In this context, laser treatment offers an effective solution to permanently remove unwanted hair in the long term. The laser is directed at the skin and the light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This heats and ultimately destroys the hair root, inhibiting hair growth.

COST OF HAIR REMOVAL
How does permanent hair removal work?
In our practice, we only use laser devices from the manufacturer Alma Lasers for hair removal. The products and treatment methods from Alma Lasers have been clinically tested and are supported by specialists in dermatology, aesthetics, surgery and cosmetics. The scientific research has been carried out by doctors and scientists who are among the best in the world. We use the Soprano Titanium Laser for hair removal. With its exclusive 3D technology, the three most effective laser wavelengths are combined in a single applicator. At the same time, different tissue depths and anatomical structures within the hair follicle can be targeted. This makes hair removal fast and effective. This technology is based on the principle of so-called selective photothermolysis. Here, light of a specific wavelength is absorbed by melanin in the hair root and converted into heat. The laser energy heats the hair root and thus prevents the hair from growing back. The surrounding tissue is not damaged. However, as the area around the hair root is also heated, the stem cells, which are responsible for the formation of new hair, are also reached. This makes permanent hair removal possible.
The treatment
After a detailed consultation about the affected areas, the treatment begins. The treated area is cooled before and after each laser pulse. Laser safety goggles protect the eyes from the high-intensity light beam. This allows unwanted hair growth to be combated directly at the root. The result is even, smooth and hair-free skin. However, the hair growth cycle is crucial for optimal, permanent hair removal.
It comprises three phases:
- Growth (anagen phase)
- Transition (catagen phase)
- Rest/failure (telogen phase)
As a rule, 4 - 6 treatments are required to achieve the desired result. However, a session is recommended once a year thereafter, as medication or hormonal changes can have an impact on new hair growth.
Where can permanent hair removal be carried out?
Treatment is possible on the entire body. Only those hairs that are currently growing are lasered. This is why several treatments are required, as only these hairs have melanin stored in the hair root to ensure that the light is converted into heat. The results after the sessions can vary. The duration of the anagen phase varies depending on the area of the body and the individual nature of the hair.
Some examples of areas of application:
- Back
- Face
- Legs
- Poor
Rules of conduct before and after treatment:
Before the treatment:
- No plucking or waxing 4 weeks before the treatment, shaving is permitted
- 2 days no sauna
- 1 - 2 days before the treatment, shave the affected skin areas wet (not on the day of treatment)
- Do not apply any care products on the day of treatment
After the treatment:
- Avoid contact with the sun and apply sunscreen
- Avoid direct sunlight during the entire series of sessions
- Refrain from strenuous physical activity and sport for 24 hours
FAQ
How many sessions are required?
On average, around 6-12 treatments are required. The number of treatments may vary depending on the body area and hair density in the individual areas. In some cases, fewer treatments may be sufficient.
What complications can occur?
The most common side effects of laser hair removal are temporary redness, slight swelling and/or itching. In rare cases, burns, allergic reactions or reactions to medication may occur.
Who can undergo laser hair removal?
Laser treatment can be carried out on clients with skin types I-V. However, light blonde, gray or white hair is not covered by the laser.
How long does the hair removal last?
Once the active hair roots have been successfully destroyed, they can no longer produce new hair. Permanent hair removal usually lasts for at least two to three years.
