Laser hair removal in comparison - safe, precise, permanent¹

A comparison of the best laser hair removal methods - which is really effective?

Permanent¹ hair removal: Which laser technology is the right one?

Anyone opting for laser hair removal is quickly faced with the question: which technology is the safest, most hygienic and most effective? There is a world of difference between cheap quick procedures and high-precision medical technology - in the truest sense of the word.

We explain the three most common laser hair removal methods, show their advantages and disadvantages and reveal why Laserazor is setting new standards in terms of skin safety and efficiency with its precision method.

Sliding technology ("in-motion"): Fast, but risky

The so-called gliding technique is often used by inexpensive providers - usually in combination with diode or IPL lasers. It is applied by rubbing a gel onto the skin, over which the handpiece is moved back and forth with pressure.

Disadvantages and risks of sliding technology

  • Prolonged¹ skin contact increases the risk of germ transmission.
  • The resulting friction generates heat, which can lead to burns.
  • The lack of a visible target control means that the quality of treatment remains uneven.
  • The constant energy output at maximum power can permanently¹ destroy the melanin, which later leads to white hair that can no longer be treated.
  • This method is particularly unsuitable for sensitive or tanned skin.

Stamping technique: Classic, but prone to errors

In the stamping technique, the handpiece is placed at a specific point and triggers a single laser pulse before moving on to the next point. This method is common with various laser types, e.g. also with the alexandrite laser.

The challenges of stamping technology

  • Skin contact is also possible - hygiene only to a limited extent.
  • Without a visible target beam, uniform treatment is difficult.
  • A lack of training often results in overlaps or untreated areas.
  • The energy output can fluctuate greatly, which has a negative effect on the result.

Precision method with Laserazor: contactless, hygienic and medically precise

Laserazor relies on state-of-the-art technology - with the high-performance Lutronic Clarity II device (ND:YAG and alexandrite laser). The application is contactless, with a visible target beam and using external, effective cryo-cooling.

Advantages of the Laserazor precision method

  • No skin contact: Maximum hygiene, no germ transmission.
  • Green aiming beam: Visible control of each individual pulse.
  • Individually controllable energy output: Ideal for all skin types, even with dark or sensitive skin.
  • No risk of white hair: the melanin is completely preserved.
  • Ideal for sensitive areas: Face, intimate area or armpits are treated gently.
  • Lasting¹ results, visible and effective.

Comparison of laser hair removal techniques

The following table shows the most important differences between the methods at a glance:

Feature Sliding technology Stamping technique Laserazor precision
Contact with the skin Permanent Selective No contact
Hygiene Bad Medium Medically safe
Visual inspection None Partial Green aiming beam
Energy distribution Maximum constant Fluctuating Finely adjustable
Risk of white hair High Possible Excluded
Treatment quality Irregular Fluctuating High precision
Side effects High Medium Low
Suitable for sensitive zones Unsuitable Restricted Optimal

Conclusion: Quality instead of risk - why Laserazor is worthwhile

If visible results, maximum hygiene and a sustainable hair removal solution are important to you, there is no way around the Laserazor precision method.
Cheap methods may be quick - but in the long term they not only cost you effectiveness, but also skin health.

Laserazor offers you:

  • Medically clean treatment conditions
  • Contactless, low-pain technology
  • High-performance devices with visible control
  • Safety for all skin types and sensitive areas of the body
  • And truly permanent¹ hair removal that delivers what it promises
What is the difference between the sliding technique and the precision method?

The gliding technique works without visual inspection and with skin contact, while the precision method is contactless, accurate and hygienic.

How hygienic is laser hair removal with contact methods?

Sliding technology and stamping technology come into contact with the skin - this poses a risk of contamination. Laserazor works completely contact-free for maximum hygiene.

Why is visual inspection important for every laser treatment?

Only with visual control - as with the green aiming beam from Laserazor - can every hair be hit precisely and gaps avoided.

What laser technology does Laserazor use?

Laserazor uses the Lutronic Clarity II with two wavelengths: Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) - medically tested.

How does cryo-cooling work with Laserazor?

The external Coolplus cooling works without skin contact. It protects the skin from heat and ensures pain-free treatment.

Is laser hair removal possible on tanned skin?

With the right technology, yes. Laserazor's precision method is customizable and also suitable for tanned skin.

How many sessions are necessary for a permanently¹ smooth result?

Usually 6-10 sessions at intervals of 4-8 weeks - depending on hair color, skin type and body region.

What happens when the melanin is destroyed?

Melanin can be destroyed by overheating - typical of cheap methods. White hair then grows back and can no longer be treated.

Is laser hair removal permanent¹?

Yes, once treatment is complete, the treated hair remains permanently¹ removed - if necessary, refresher treatments every 1-2 years are advisable.

Is laser treatment with Laserazor painful?

No. The combination of external cooling and controlled energy makes the treatment pleasant and gentle on the skin.

Can laser hair removal cause scars or burns?

Only if used incorrectly or with outdated technology. Laserazor works in a controlled, contactless and safe manner - without the risk of burns.

Why is contactless laser hair removal better?

No direct skin contact means: fewer germs, no friction, no heat development - and more safety for sensitive skin.

How long does a session take, e.g. on the legs?

With the precision method, a treatment, e.g. lower legs, takes approx. 30-45 minutes - depending on the area and hair density.

How does Laserazor differ from IPL?

IPL is not a real laser, but a light flash device with a broad spectrum. Laserazor works with focused laser energy - targeted, precise and permanent¹.

Can I do sports after the treatment?

Light exercise is ok, but avoid heavy sweating, heat or sauna for 24-48 hours after the session.

Is laser hair removal just as effective for men?

Yes, the beard, back, chest and genital area in particular can be treated permanently¹ and safely with Laserazor.

How does hormonal hair growth affect the treatment?

In the case of hormonal causes, more sessions may be necessary or maintenance appointments may be recommended - permanent¹ possible, but adapted.

How much does a laser treatment of the armpits, for example, cost?

Prices vary depending on the provider. At Laserazor, for example, armpits cost around €90-120 per session - with medical technology and support.

How sustainable is laser hair removal for the environment & skin?

No consumables, no chemicals - compared to waxing, shaving and epilation, laser is a method that is kind to the skin and the environment.

Why shouldn't I go for the cheap solution?

Cheap devices often work without control, with a high risk of side effects and poor results. Quality pays off in the long term¹.
