Laser hair removal experience

Permanent hair removal can be achieved through IPL laser treatments, needle epilation (electroepilation) and SHR laser hair removal. Temporary methods include hair removal cream, waxing with sugar paste, warm waxing or hot waxing, and depilation with an epilator (shaver). However, permanent hair removal with laser or IPL is only possible on light skin and dark hair. With needle epilation, it doesn’t matter if you have light, blonde, white or red hair.

The length of a treatment session varies depending on the extent and quantity of the body parts to be treated and can also be influenced by the device used (type of laser). With the diode or alexandrite laser, an underarm treatment takes about 10 minutes. If you want to have your legs treated with laser hair removal in Berlin, you should allow about 30-40 minutes depending on their size. The removal of the “ladies beard” is usually completed within 10-15 minutes. For a full body treatment, however, the duration can sometimes be between 2 and 4 hours.

Permanence: Unlike shaving or waxing, hair can be permanently reduced or removed after a successful laser treatment.

Nach der Laser Haarentfernung sollten Sie die Haut schonen und jegliche Reizungen vermeiden. Dies bedeutet, dass Sie direkte Sonneneinstrahlung, Saunabesuche, sehr heiße Duschen oder Bäder sowie das Schwimmen in chloriertem Wasser für einige Tage meiden sollten. Es wird empfohlen, eine beruhigende Aloe Vera-Gel-Lotion auf die behandelte Haut aufzutragen, um Rötungen und Irritationen zu lindern. Vermeiden Sie auch das Zupfen oder Wachsen der behandelten Bereiche zwischen den Sitzungen, da dies den Behandlungsprozess beeinträchtigen kann.

There are certain circumstances and conditions where laser hair removal should not be performed or should be performed only under special conditions. Contraindications include:

# Pregnancy and breastfeeding: during this time, laser treatments are generally not recommended, as hormonal changes can lead to altered skin reactions and risks to the unborn child cannot be ruled out.

1. Active infections or skin diseases in the area to be treated, such as acne, herpes, open wounds or eczema.
2. Sunburn or freshly tanned skin: Treatment should only be carried out after a few weeks to minimize the risk of skin burns or pigment changes.

Yes, BellaDerma uses only safe and certified devices that meet international standards. These devices are regularly maintained and checked to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

It is important to avoid direct sunlight, sauna, steam bath and hot shower or bath for a few days after the treatment to prevent possible irritation or complications.

Yes, as with many other treatments, there are potential risks and side effects associated with laser hair removal in Berlin. However, with the use of modern equipment and proper application, these are usually minimal and temporary. The most common side effects include:

* Redness and swelling of the treated areas. These reactions usually disappear within a few hours to a few days.

• Rarely, blistering or crusting may occur. These side effects are temporary and usually heal on their own.
• Hyperpigmentation (darkening) or hypopigmentation (lightening) of the skin may occur, especially in darker skin types or with improper treatment.

It is important to avoid direct sun exposure to the treated areas after treatment and to use a high sun protection factor (SPF) to minimize the risk of pigmentary changes.

In summary, when applied correctly by trained professionals and using medically approved equipment, the risk of side effects can be significantly reduced.

At the BellaDerma specialist center, all areas of the body can be treated, both for women and men. Whether legs, back, arms, face or intimate area – laser hair removal works everywhere. Thanks to specialized laser attachments and different spot sizes, even hard-to-reach or smaller zones such as the upper lip, ears or nose can be treated efficiently and precisely.

Laser hair removal in Berlin is a popular method to permanently remove unwanted hair. However, the suitability for this treatment depends on several factors:

# Hair color and type: Laser hair removal targets the melanin in the hair. Dark hair contains more melanin and absorbs laser light better, making it ideal for treatment. White, very light blonde or red hair contains less melanin, making it more difficult to treat. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but the results may be less effective.

1. Skin type: while modern laser systems are suitable for a wide range of skin tones, effectiveness can vary for certain skin tones. It is important to choose the right laser system for your skin type to avoid injury or discoloration.
2. Other factors: Hormonal changes, medications that increase photosensitivity, and certain health conditions can affect suitability for laser hair removal.

The effectiveness of laser hair removal depends on the color as well as the thickness of the hair and the skin type. Dark hair on light skin responds best to laser treatment because the laser targets the melanin in the hair. Treatment may be less effective on darker skin tones or on light hair, but modern laser devices have developed technologies that can better treat these groups as well. It is important to have the treatment performed by an experienced professional who will choose the right laser and settings for your skin type and hair color.

Laser hair removal impresses with its effectiveness and long-term effect. Unlike procedures such as sugaring, waxing or home devices for IPL, hair usually does not return after laser treatment. An additional plus point is that the laser is gentle on the skin. While methods such as those previously mentioned are often accompanied by unpleasant side effects such as ingrown hairs or folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicles), such complications are extremely rare with laser treatment.

To achieve a permanently hair-free result, at least 8 treatment sessions at suitable time intervals are usually required. Since the roots of about 10 to 20% of the removed hairs can regenerate, we advise to take advantage of a booster treatment every six months in order to remain continuously hairless.Permanent hair removal of body hair is mainly for aesthetic reasons. Nowadays, smooth skin is simply “in” and is much better received by the opposite sex. Especially with the IPL method, amazing and permanent results can be achieved in Berlin.

In general, laser hair removal is possible from the age of 17, but in certain cases and with parental consent it can be performed earlier. It is important to note that hormonal changes in adolescence can affect hair growth.
In conclusion, laser hair removal can provide an effective and permanent solution to unwanted hair when performed by qualified professionals.

It is important that the area to be treated is shaved 1-2 days before the treatment to achieve the optimal length for laser hair removal. Also, after the treatment you should avoid direct sunlight and treat the area gently.

Yes, laser hair removal is suitable for both women and men. Many men choose to treat areas such as the back, chest, abdomen, neck, cheeks and nape of the neck. However, it should be noted that men’s hair is often thicker and more deeply rooted in the skin than women’s hair, which may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.

While both technologies use light to destroy hair follicles, laser devices use a single, focused spectrum of light, while IPL devices use a broader spectrum of light.

Home hair removal devices, which are often advertised in television commercials and online, are limited in their energy strength due to legal safety regulations. Unlike professional laser hair removal systems, they have a much lower energy capacity. At best, they can remove hair but not permanently damage the hair root. The light pulse generated by these devices is not strong enough to specifically destroy the hair roots, but only to temporarily affect the hair. This means that the application of these home devices must be repeated often and regularly, as the hair follicles recover quickly and new hair grows back. Therefore, a permanent hair removal effect by such home devices is unrealistic.

Professional medical laser hair removal systems, on the other hand, have a much stronger energy capacity capable of permanently eliminating hair roots. They also offer customizable wavelengths for different skin types and are not intended for over-the-counter sale. Such high-powered lasers may also only be operated by trained professionals with a specific NiSV qualification.

As a rule, health insurance companies do not cover the expenses for permanent laser hair removal, because the removal of unwanted hair (especially body hair) is often considered a purely aesthetic procedure. Just because someone finds their own hair disturbing does not mean that health insurance will cover the cost. However, there are exceptions where health insurance companies often cover the expense. These include conditions such as transsexualism, hirsutism (excessive hair growth), and certain hormonal disorders that require medical treatment.

Before you decide to have laser hair removal in Berlin, you should check with your health insurance company, especially if the procedure is performed by a cosmetic studio rather than a doctor’s office. In our case, since we are considered a cosmetic institute and not a medical facility, it is advisable to clarify this in advance.
