Laser Hair Removal in Berlin – Permanently Smooth Skin

Thanks to our permanent laser hair removal, shaving, waxing, or epilating will soon be a thing of the past.

Reducing Hair Growth with Laser Technology

With permanent laser hair removal, our patients in Berlin usually pursue two goals. On the one hand, they want to enjoy the lasting feeling of smooth and supple skin, and on the other, they want to free themselves from the constant effort as well as the skin irritation and ingrown hairs.

To achieve this, we work with the Alexandrite laser, which reacts specifically with the melanin contained in the hair. Its light energy is absorbed by the hair and converted into heat. This selectively damages the hair follicle so that hair growth in this area is significantly slowed down or permanently reduced. Over several sessions, this allows us to achieve a result that makes razors and the like a thing of the past.

You are welcome to book your appointment online or by phone. We look forward to meeting you.

Your Laser Hair Removal at Myskin Berlin

Due to the different growth phases of hair follicles, several sessions are required for permanent hair removal. You will receive a more precise assessment during your consultation.

During the initial consultation, we assess your skin type, hair colour, and the areas to be treated. We also clarify whether laser treatment is appropriate and what results can realistically be achieved.

Based on this assessment, we determine the appropriate parameters. These include, among other things, the laser’s energy settings and the treatment intervals, which are based on the hair growth cycle.

During the treatment, the light from the Alexandrite laser is directed specifically into the hair follicles. The energy is absorbed by the melanin and converted into heat, thereby damaging the hair’s growth structure.

After each session, the number of regrowing hairs is reduced. Since hairs are in different growth phases, several treatments are necessary to achieve an even and long-term result.

Possible Side Effects

After the treatment, slight redness or a feeling of warmth in the skin may occur temporarily, and in some cases mild swelling in the area of the hair follicles may also appear. These reactions usually subside again within a short time. In rare cases, temporary changes in skin pigmentation may also occur.

Areas for Your Laser Hair Removal in Berlin

Face
Fine or darker hairs in the area of the upper lip, chin, or cheeks can be selectively reduced. Especially on the face, precise and skin-friendly treatment is particularly important.
Underarms
The underarm area is one of the most frequently treated areas. Laser treatment can reduce hair growth here in the long term, which also lessens skin irritation caused by shaving.
Legs
Larger areas on the legs can be treated efficiently, which brings significant time savings in everyday life. The Alexandrite laser is particularly effective here, especially on darker hair.
Intimate Area
In the sensitive intimate area, laser treatment helps to reduce ingrown hairs and skin irritation. Patients frequently report the newly gained relief in their daily routine, especially here.
Back and Upper Body
Larger areas such as the back or chest, which can sometimes be difficult to reach, can also be treated. A series of sessions is often necessary here in order to achieve an even result.

How the Laser Works in Permanent Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is based on the physical principle of photothermolysis. In this process, the laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and converted into heat. This heat acts directly on the growth structure of the hair follicle and damages it in such a way that hair growth in this area is reduced in the long term.

As the hairs in one area are not all in the same growth phase at the same time, only some of the hair follicles can be reached per treatment. These intervals are based on the natural hair growth cycle and are a central part of our treatment planning.

Your Laser Hair Removal in Berlin – Lasting Spontaneity

For our patients, permanent laser hair removal brings significant relief in everyday life and greater spontaneity, as they no longer always have to consider the condition of their skin before planned activities. Instead of regular shaving or other methods, a skin appearance gradually develops that looks more even and well cared for.

The focus is on a treatment that is tailored to the natural characteristics of your skin. If you would like to know whether our permanent hair removal is suitable for your skin type, we will be happy to take the time for a personal assessment at our practice in Berlin.

The goal is a solution that is comprehensible, medically well founded, and consistent in the long term. We look forward to your visit.
