Laser hair removal.for noticeably smooth skin.

The laser light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair and converted into heat. This heat switches off the hair root in a targeted way and inhibits regrowth – while the cooling protects the surrounding skin.

Thanks to strong skin cooling, most clients find the treatment almost painless – many describe it as pleasantly cool. A slight feeling of warmth or tingling is normal.

IPL works with a broadly scattered flash of light across many colours of light. A diode laser, on the other hand, focuses one defined wavelength and delivers the energy in a targeted way, deep down to the hair root – which makes it especially precise. Both methods can reduce hair; we deliberately work with a diode laser.

Shaving often irritates the skin and means daily effort; waxing only lasts a short time. Laser hair removal works at the root, reduces hair growth over the long term and is gentler, especially on sensitive skin.

Anything from a few minutes to around an hour, depending on the zone. The upper lip is done in a few minutes; full legs take considerably longer. For your first appointment, please allow 45 to 60 minutes – most of that is consultation, skin analysis and the skin tolerance check.

Around two to four weeks on the face, around six to eight weeks on the body – as soon as your usual hair growth returns.

For women and men, and for almost all skin and hair types. With very light, blonde or grey hair, the effect is weaker (less melanin) – we’ll discuss this honestly in your consultation.

As a rule, we only treat people aged 18 and over.

We don’t treat in cases of sunburn or freshly sun-exposed skin in the area (sun within the last 24 hours), acute skin inflammation, open wounds or herpes in the zone, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with certain medications that make the skin sensitive to light (e.g. some antibiotics and acne medications), or with some pre-existing conditions – including, among others, cancer, active autoimmune diseases and skin conditions in the treatment area. We cover up or leave out tattoos, moles and varicose veins. White, grey and very light hairs contain too little pigment and cannot be treated. Before every treatment, we go through a detailed medical history – and if anything speaks against it, we’ll tell you honestly, even if it means losing an appointment.

The technical term is permanent hair reduction: over several sessions, hair growth is reduced significantly and for the long term. Complete hair loss that is guaranteed forever is not possible – the result depends on your skin and hair type, and individual fine hairs can grow back over time (but occasional top-up sessions keep this well under control).

Because only hairs in the active growth phase can be treated – and at any one time that’s only about 15–25 % – several sessions are needed. Usually it’s around 10 sessions – varying from person to person, fewer for some, more for others. Occasional top-up sessions may be useful later on. With every session, hair growth becomes visibly lighter.

The laser works best with good contrast – meaning dark hair on lighter skin. Hair density and thickness, your skin type and individual factors such as hormonal influences (e.g. thyroid or menopause) also play a role. That’s why the course of treatment is a little different for everyone – in the free initial consultation, we’ll give you an honest assessment.

Not straight away. The treated hairs are gradually pushed out over one to three weeks – until then, it looks as if nothing is happening. Our tip: wait about two weeks after your appointment, then shave the area. That’s the best way to see how much less hair there really is.

Yes, that’s part of the process – don’t be surprised, we’ll tell you in advance. The laser only ever reaches the hairs that are currently in their growth phase; at any given time, that’s only about 15–25 %. All other hair roots are resting and can’t be treated in that session at all – they first have to fall out and then be caught in their next growth phase. That’s exactly why, somewhere between the fourth and sixth session, it can sometimes look as if more hair is suddenly coming back: these are hairs that simply couldn’t be reached before. Keep shaving as normal, exfoliate twice a week – and stick with the series. Stopping at this point means giving away most of the result.

Shave – the day before. The hair needs to sit in the root so the laser can find it – but it mustn’t stick out of the skin, otherwise energy is wasted on the surface. Please never pluck, wax, epilate or use hair removal cream: that removes exactly what we want to target. This applies from four weeks before your first appointment and for the whole time between sessions.

Yes. A tan alone isn’t an obstacle – what matters is the condition of your skin on the day of treatment. Two things are important: no sun on the zone in the 24 hours before, and no sunburn. Even slight redness must have healed completely – otherwise we’d rather reschedule. The lighter the skin, the greater the contrast with the hair and the more gently we can work: so in summer, protect the zone consistently with SPF 50 and avoid sunbeds. If you want to make it easier for yourself, start in autumn – by next summer, you’ll already have a large part of the series behind you.

• Sun protection: apply SPF 50 to the treated zone every day until your next session.
• Avoid sunbeds and intense sun – the manufacturer recommends at least six weeks.
• In the first few days: no sauna, no sport, no exfoliating, no hot baths.
• Slight redness is normal and usually fades after a few hours. A soothing, moisturising lotion helps.

Yes. For every referral, you get 30 € off your next session as soon as the person has had their first session. Anyone who comes through you simply mentions your name when they get in touch. And if you’d like to start together: if you come to your first appointment together, you each get 30 € off your next session.
