Laser hair removal is one of the most effective methods for permanently reducing unwanted hair. However, many people are unsure about exactly how the treatment works, what results they can expect, or what preparations are necessary. At BellaDerma, we want you to be fully informed before you decide on a treatment.
In our FAQ section, we answer the most common questions about the procedure, safety, possible side effects and everything else you need to know about laser hair removal. This allows you to relax and look forward to your treatment and achieve the best possible results.

In the case of an acute boil, laser hair removal should not be performed, as inflammation can worsen. Treatment is only advisable once the boil has completely healed.
Appropriate settings, adequate cooling and special care are important here. The mostly dark hair allows for good results, but requires a gentle approach.
Dark hair responds best, very light or grey hair less so. Skin type, hormonal factors and medication can influence the result – a personal consultation is therefore crucial.
When modern devices are used properly, side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as redness or slight swelling. In rare cases, blisters, scabs or pigment changes may occur.
Lasers work with a concentrated, fixed wavelength and are therefore more precise than IPL systems. Depending on skin and hair type, fewer sessions are often necessary.
As a rule, this is a self-pay service. In medically justified exceptional cases, the costs may be covered.
Usually from the age of 17, in individual cases earlier with parental consent. Hormonal changes can influence the result.
After completion of the sessions, the areas are mostly hair-free. A small amount of hair may grow back over time.
The cost depends on the treatment area, individual requirements, number of sessions and technical equipment.
Tattooed areas must be avoided, as energy can be absorbed by colour pigments and damage to the skin may occur.
