Best laser for hair removal 2025 - professional comparison, test winner & buying advice

Introduction - Why choosing the right laser is so important

Hair removal is no longer just a beauty trend, but for many customers a part of their quality of life. Anyone who opts for permanent hair removal wants one thing above all: visible, long-lasting results - without skin irritation, without endless series of treatments, without disappointment.

But the market is confusing. Diode lasers here, alexandrite lasers there, IPL devices for home use - all promise the "ultimate". The reality? The differences in performance, safety and comfort are enormous.

At Laserazor, we have therefore taken a close look at all the relevant professional devices. Our aim is to find the laser that consistently delivers the best results in real treatments over weeks and months.

Valuation methodology - this is how we proceeded

We tested eight leading systems in our studios and at partner companies. They were evaluated:

  • Effectiveness & safety: Skin protection, hair reduction after 4, 6 and 8 sessions
  • Technology: wavelength, pulse width, energy output, cooling
  • Comfort: pain sensation, treatment duration, skin feeling afterwards
  • Range of applications: Skin types I-VI, various hair colors and thicknesses
  • Economic efficiency: maintenance, downtime, consumables

The result was clearer than we had expected: Two devices dominated the top - Lutronic Clarity II and DEKA Again PRO.

1st place: Lutronic Clarity II - The gold standard 2025

The Clarity II is not only technically superior, it simply feels right for customers.

Technical properties

  • Dual wavelength: 755 nm (alexandrite) for fine to medium hair, 1064 nm (Nd:YAG) for darker skin types
  • IntelliTrak™: Intelligent motion detection for consistent energy output
  • Variable spot sizes: From a precise 2 mm for small areas up to 25 mm for large areas
  • Customizable cooling: choice between cryogenic spray or air cooling

Emotional benefits for customers

Customers repeatedly report that the treatment feels gentle but effective. After just a few sessions, the skin appears smoother, more even and significantly less hairy.

Why he wins

  • Highly effective even with lighter hair
  • Faster results → fewer sessions required
  • Minimal side effects when used correctly

2nd place: DEKA Again PRO - The comfort champion

The Again PRO is the feel-good laser among the dual systems.

Technical properties

  • Dual wavelength: Alexandrite & Nd:YAG
  • MOVEO technology: gliding instead of point-by-point - ideal for large-area applications
  • Spot sizes up to 30 mm: Less treatment time per session

Emotional benefits for customers

Many people find the DEKA Again PRO "barely noticeable", especially in sensitive areas such as the bikini or armpits. This makes it the perfect choice for customers who are very sensitive to pain or are afraid of the treatment.

Why many diode lasers and cheap systems disappoint

We need to be clear here: Not every laser is equally effective - and certainly not every light system is a laser at all.

Typical problems with diode lasers

  • Wavelength: Usually only 808-810 nm → good effect for medium skin types, but weaker for very light or very dark skin types
  • Cooling: Often only contact cooling → less pleasant and quickly irritating for sensitive skin
  • Effectiveness: Often need more sessions for a comparable result

Problems with IPL/SHR devices

  • Broadband light: no focused laser beam → significantly less energy per hair root
  • Higher risk of wastage: less targeted → more treatments, less sustainability
  • Short-term effects: Hair often comes back faster

Conclusion: If you really want permanent hair reduction, you should go for a genuine medical laser - preferably a dual system such as the Clarity II.

Our clear test result 2025

  1. Lutronic Clarity II - test winner, effective and versatile, our standard device in all Laserazor studios
  2. DEKA Again PRO - comfort winner with impressive speed
  3. Candela GentleMax Pro - Proven performance, solid technology
  4. Asclepion MeDioStar X - Fast, but more limited for skin type diversity
  5. Alma Soprano ICE - Pleasant, but less powerful on light hair

Questions and answers about the laser test result:

Here are some questions and answers on the topic

Which laser is the best for hair removal in 2025?

The Lutronic Clarity II is considered the best laser because it effectively covers all skin and hair types with alexandrite and Nd:YAG technology.

What is the difference between alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers?

Alexandrite is ideal for light skin and fine hair, while Nd:YAG was developed for dark skin types and penetrates deeper into the skin.

Is laser hair removal really permanent¹?

With high-quality devices such as Clarity II or DEKA Again PRO, up to 90-95% permanent¹ hair reduction is possible - with correct use and care.

How many sessions do I need for visible results?

Most clients require 6-8 sessions. The first results are usually visible after the third session.

Can laser hair removal be used on all skin types?

Yes, modern devices with dual wavelengths such as Clarity II or GentleMax Pro are suitable for skin types I-VI.

Does laser also work on light or gray hair?

Only a few devices such as the Lutronic Clarity II can treat light-colored hair. Gray hair without melanin hardly responds to lasers.

Which is better: laser or IPL?

Laser devices are more targeted, more effective and safer than IPL. IPL is cheaper but less effective - especially on light or fine hair.

How does MOVEO technology work?

With the DEKA Again PRO, MOVEO ensures fast, pain-free treatment thanks to constant energy delivery in gliding mode with skin cooling.

Which devices are best for large areas such as legs or back?

DEKA Again PRO (up to 30 mm spot size) or MeDioStar X (with 10 cm² spot) enable extremely fast whole-body treatments.

What do I need to consider before treatment?

No sun or solarium 2 weeks before, freshly shaved skin, no creams, no self-tanning lotions.

How do I care for my skin after the laser treatment?

No sport or sauna for 24 hours, only take a lukewarm shower, apply panthenol and avoid direct sunlight.

Is the treatment painful?

Thanks to integrated cooling (cryogen, air or contact), most patients find the treatment hardly painful.

How long does a session last?

Small areas such as armpits require approx. 10 minutes, large areas such as the back or legs 20-40 minutes, depending on the appliance.

How often do I have to go for follow-up treatment?

An annual refresher session is recommended to maintain the result in the long term¹ - more often in the case of hormonal hair growth.

Is laser hair removal possible in summer?

Summer treatment is possible with Nd:YAG technology and UV protection. Avoid direct sunlight before and after the session.

What does a professional laser session cost?

Depending on the body area and studio quality, €90-250 per session. High-quality devices usually require fewer sessions in total.

Can laser reduce hair growth in PCOS?

Yes, laser also helps with hormonal hair growth. PCOS usually requires more sessions and regular follow-up treatments.

What side effects can occur?

Slight redness, a feeling of warmth or minimal swelling are common but harmless. Complications are rare with a high-quality technique.

How does SHR differ from real lasers?

SHR uses broadband light (not laser) and is less precise. Real lasers work specifically in the hair follicle and are more effective.

Why is choosing the right type of laser so important?

Only suitable wavelengths achieve lasting¹ results without side effects. The wrong choice of device can be ineffective or risky.
