Laser Hair Removal

Permanent Hair Removal with Laser Treatment

For unwanted hair growth, we offer virtually pain-free hair removal (SHR-Super Hair Removal). SHR technology combines the advantages of laser and IPL systems in one handpiece, making the treatment extremely gentle, effective, and almost pain-free. Any body region can be treated with simultaneous cooling.

Before laser treatment, shaving is necessary to facilitate the procedure. Subsequently, cooled ultrasound gel is applied to create an optimal contact surface. The SHR handpiece can be used in either 'In-Motion' or 'Stacking-Mode'.

The handpiece is either moved with low energy over the body area to be depilated, or a single pulse with higher energy is applied to the respective area. This heats and permanently damages the melanin and stem cells in the hair follicle.

During laser treatment, you will only notice a slight pulling sensation, and the skin may be minimally reddened. Treatments on body areas with tattoos are not possible; for patients with increased skin pigmentation or blonde hair, the treatment must be discussed individually.

After laser treatment, direct sun exposure (sunbathing) should be avoided for 2-3 weeks, and adequate UV protection must be applied. Even after the first treatment, you will notice a significant reduction in hair growth, but a repeat treatment is necessary after 4-6 weeks, as only hairs in the anagen phase (growth phase) can be optimally treated. This accounts for approximately 15-25% of all hairs in the respective region. The SHR technology integrated into the HarmonyXL system by Alma Lasers shows outstanding long-term results compared to conventional IPL systems and will also help you achieve permanent hair removal.

So-called age spots (lentigines senilis) as well as freckles (lentigines solares) are benign skin changes, but often represent an aesthetic blemish for those affected. Age and pigment spots preferentially appear on light-/sun-exposed areas of the body (back of hands, forearms, face, and décolletage). Temporarily, these can be covered with appropriate makeup; cosmetics sometimes help to slightly lighten pigment spots or prevent new ones.

Minor pigment and vascular changes can be gently and long-term removed in our practice with DYE-VL. Before the treatment, a gel is applied to the areas to be treated. The pigment of the age spots is then specifically destroyed with intensely pulsed light. The treatment is almost pain-free; only the light pulse causes uncomfortable sensations.

Immediately after the treatment, the respective spots darken slightly; over time, the skin regenerates, and the spot becomes progressively lighter or disappears completely. There is no downtime; the treatment is not visible if performed correctly. Only minimal redness and swelling may occur, which can be easily covered with makeup. Direct cooling after laser treatment further supports this effect.

Depending on the intensity of the pigment, 3-6 treatments are necessary.

Skin Rejuvenation

Fractional laser therapy provides an impulse for the regeneration of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. With individual bundled laser beams in a grid, injury patterns are created at different depths. The surrounding and spared tissue is thus stimulated to produce new cells and fresh collagen and elastin fibers. The skin renews itself independently and from within, thus appearing younger, fresher, and more even. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, we can target superficial structures (skin rejuvenation, fine lines, pigment disorders, enlarged pores), or, with deeper and intensified treatment, flatten and refine acne scars and burn scars.

Before laser treatment, a local anesthetic cream can be applied to cleansed skin, depending on pain sensitivity. During and immediately after the treatment, the skin is cooled to keep pain sensation as low as possible. Immediately after the treatment, a slight sunburn sensation may occur in the treated area; pain medication may be necessary if required.

To allow for inconspicuous healing, we advise patients to take a professional break of about 3 days after laser treatment. Slight redness, swelling, and crusting may occur, but these can always be covered with makeup.

If you are in the prime of your life and cannot afford time off work, Clear-Lift (Pixel-Q-Switch) is the optimal treatment alternative. This non-ablative procedure creates micro-channels in deeper skin layers without damaging the upper skin layer (epidermis). Therefore, fine wrinkles are softened, tiny vessels and pigment disorders are improved, and a more even skin appearance is achieved.

Before the treatment, the skin is cleansed. The treatment takes approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on the area, and is completely pain-free. Immediately after the treatment, the skin is minimally reddened, treated with hyaluronic acid, and can be cared for and made up as usual. To achieve an optimal treatment result, approximately 3-5 treatments should be performed at intervals of 3-4 weeks. Skin texture improves with each treatment, with optimal results after 3-6 months, the time when collagen regeneration is completely finished. As with any laser treatment, applying daily cream with an appropriate sun protection factor is recommended for the first 2 weeks after each treatment.
