Was passiert, wenn Melanin durch den Laser zerstört wird?

The result is pigmentless, white hairs that can no longer be permanently removed by laser.

Warum ist dauerhafte¹ Haarentfernung nicht bei allen Methoden möglich?

Only medically certified lasers with a targeted deep effect can permanently destroy hair follicles.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Gleittechnik und Präzisionstechnik?

Sliding technology works blindly with skin contact, while precision technology with a target beam is visible, structured and contactless.

Warum ist Hautkontakt beim Lasern problematisch?

Skin contact increases the risk of germs, fungi and inflammation due to cross-contamination - especially with sensitive skin.

Wie arbeitet der Zielstrahl bei Laserazor?

A green targeting laser visibly marks each hair root to ensure precise, seamless treatment.

Warum kann konstante Energie gefährlich sein?

Without adaptation to skin type and progress, there is a risk of overheating, loss of pigmentation or long-term skin damage.

Ist Laserazor auch für dunkle Hauttypen geeignet?

Yes - the combination of Nd:YAG technology and individually controllable energy enables safe treatments even on dark skin.

Wie hygienisch ist die Behandlung bei Laserazor?

It is extremely hygienic, as neither gel nor skin contact is required. Everything is contact-free with a medical cooling system.

Was kostet eine hochwertige Laserbehandlung?

Laser hair removal

Why many inexpensive laser methods can lead to skin damage

When deciding on laser hair removal, many people think of smooth skin and modern technology. But what many studios do not disclose: Cheap offers often conceal outdated methods - especially with diode lasers or IPL systems. These work with consistently high energy and try to compensate for a lack of power with intensity.

This can have serious side effects - especially for sensitive or dark skin.

Overheating, loss of pigment and irreversible damage

Cheap devices work without fine-tuning. Instead of targeted treatment, the skin is overstimulated over a large area. This can lead to the following complications:

Overheating of the skin

Rubbing the hot handpiece in combination with laser energy generates excessive heat. This can lead to burns, pigment shifts or even inflammation.

Destruction of melanin in the hair follicle

If melanin is permanently destroyed by too much energy, white hair is created - without pigment and no longer treatable with laser.

Advantage with Laserazor	Why this is important
No skin contact	No risk of bacteria, fungi or cross-contamination
Contactless cryogenic cooling	No irritation due to gel, no icing due to contact cooling
Visible target laser	Every hair is precisely targeted - no gaps
High-performance devices with high voltage current	Constantly effective, without the risk of overheating
Individual energy adjustment	Safe for all skin types, even with a tan
No loss of pigment	Melanin is retained - permanently¹ effective results

No adaptation to skin type

Many devices deliver the same energy with every session - regardless of progress, skin type or daily form. This significantly increases the risk of long-term damage.

Technology	Explanation	Frequently with	Risks
Sliding technology (in-motion)	Handpiece glides blindly over the skin with gel & contact	Diode laser, IPL	No visual contact, heat build-up, irregular results
Stamping technique	Spot application with impulse & manual continuation	Mixed systems (also alexandrite)	Risk of gaps or overlapping
Laserazor precision	Aiming beam + 2-3 cm distance, visible and structured	With Laserazor (ND:YAG & Alexandrite)	Max. Control, no white hairs, safe for sensitive skin

Conclusion: Permanently¹ safe - if you choose the right technology

The choice of the right laser technology determines success or damage. What is often concealed: Many cheap systems are not only ineffective, but also dangerous for the skin and hair follicles. Those who rely on genuine medical quality protect their skin and achieve results that are permanently¹ convincing.

With Laserazor's precision method, you benefit from maximum control, non-contact application and the most advanced technology - without the risks of conventional methods.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What side effects are possible with IPL and diode lasers?

Burns, pigment shifts and inflammation are common risks with devices without cooling and without visual inspection.

What happens when melanin is destroyed by the laser?

The hair turns white and no longer contains any pigment - such hair can no longer be permanently treated with laser.

Why is permanent¹ hair removal not possible with all methods?

Many methods only damage the hair structure superficially. Only precise, deep laser technology achieves lasting¹ stable results.

What is the difference between sliding technology and precision technology?

The gliding technique works blindly and with skin contact. The precision method at Laserazor is visible, contactless and targeted.

Why is skin contact problematic during laser treatment?

Skin contact increases the risk of cross-contamination, skin irritation and hygienic deficiencies - especially for sensitive skin.

What makes cryogenic cooling so special?

It cools the skin without direct contact - this prevents irritation and reduces side effects such as redness or overheating.

How does the aiming beam work with Laserazor?

The green target beam shows exactly where to laser - so each hair is treated individually and in a controlled manner, without gaps or overlaps.

Why can constant energy be dangerous?

If the energy is not adapted to the skin type and progress, the risk of side effects such as pigment loss or skin changes increases.

Is Laserazor also suitable for dark skin types?

Yes - thanks to individually controllable energy and Nd:YAG technology, the treatment is safe and effective even with higher melanin content.

How hygienic is the treatment at Laserazor?

As there is no skin contact and no gels are used, the treatment is as hygienic and medically safe as possible.

What does a high-quality laser treatment cost?

Depending on the zone, between €70 and €200 per session. Quality, safety and equipment have a significant influence on the price.

How many sessions are necessary with Laserazor?

On average 6-10 sessions 4-8 weeks apart - depending on hair density, skin type and area.

How does alexandrite differ from IPL?

Alexandrite is a real laser with targeted depth. IPL is broadly scattered light - less precise, less constant in its effect.

What about overlaps or gaps?

These occur with techniques without visual inspection. Laserazor uses a target beam to treat each area exactly once.

Are there risks with heavily tanned skin?

Yes - methods without customization increase the risk of burns. Laserazor reduces the risk through individual energy adjustment.

Why are high-current devices more effective?

They enable constant performance over the entire session - without overheating or fluctuations in efficiency, as is the case with weaker devices.

What does "visible control" mean for each treatment?

Treatment is not carried out blindly, but under visual guidance with a target beam - for maximum precision and uniform results.

How can I tell if a studio is working with old technology?

Lack of aiming beams, constant skin contact, yellowing and no power connection are often signs of outdated systems.

Can I become hair-free in the long term despite PCOS?

Yes - with regular adjustments and maintenance sessions, hormonal hair growth can also be permanently¹ controlled.

Why is Laserazor the safest method?

Because it eliminates all the weaknesses of other methods: No skin contact, no rubbing, full visual control and medical technology.
