Professional laser hair removal in Berlin at Laserazor

Medical technology at the highest level

Laserazor is your specialist for modern laser hair removal in Berlin. Our focus is on medical precision and effectiveness - made possible by the use of the latest generation of certified devices: the Deka Again alexandrite laser and the ND:YAG laser from Lutronic.

By investing several hundred thousand euros in these high-performance lasers, we are underlining our quality promise: medically sound treatments for almost all skin and hair types.

Two lasers - one solution for almost all skin types

Deka Again alexandrite laser (755 nm)
The alexandrite laser is ideal for light to medium skin types (Fitzpatrick I-IV). Its targeted wavelength ensures particularly efficient hair removal with high skin tolerance.

ND:YAG laser (1064 nm)
The ND:YAG laser is designed for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick V-VI). Thanks to its deeper penetration depth, even dark skin can be treated gently and effectively.

In contrast to conventional IPL technologies, which work with widely dispersed wavelengths, our systems offer a targeted and therefore particularly effective method for permanent¹ hair removal.

Your advantages with Laserazor

Our experienced team consists of professionally trained staff with NISV certification. Thanks to several years of practice and thousands of successfully completed treatments, we can respond to your individual needs.

A special feature of our treatments is the integrated sapphire glass cooling, which ensures a virtually pain-free experience. The Deka Again Laser won the prestigious AMWC award in 2022 and is one of the most widely used hair removal devices in North America.

Consultations and treatments are provided in several languages, including German, English, Arabic, Turkish, Russian and Hebrew.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How does permanent¹ laser hair removal work?

The laser specifically destroys the hair root without damaging the surrounding tissue. The hair falls out and does not grow back in the long term.

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

Alexandrite lasers are particularly effective on lighter skin, while ND:YAG lasers are suitable for darker skin types due to their deeper penetration depth.

Is treatment with Laserazor painful?

Thanks to sapphire glass cooling, the treatment is virtually painless. The sensation is similar to a short, warm prick on the skin.

How many sessions are necessary?

Usually between 6 and 10 sessions at intervals of 4-8 weeks, depending on skin type, hair density and treated areas.

How do I prepare for the treatment?

Shave the area to be treated one day before the session. Waxing or epilating should be avoided several weeks beforehand.

When will I see the first results?

Visible changes can occur after just 1-2 sessions. Several sessions are necessary for optimal results.

How much does a session at Laserazor cost?

Prices vary depending on the zone. Small areas start at around €70, larger zones can cost up to €200 per session.

Why is laser more effective than IPL?

Laser light has a targeted wavelength, while IPL uses widely scattered light. This means that the laser reaches the hair root more precisely and more effectively.

Is laser treatment also suitable for men?

Yes, Laserazor also successfully treats men - for example beard contours, back, chest or neck.

Are there any side effects after the treatment?

Temporary redness or a slight feeling of warmth are possible and usually subside within a few hours.

What should I consider after the treatment?

Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds and heavy sweating for at least 48 hours after the session.

Is laser hair removal safe for dark skin?

Yes, the ND:YAG laser is particularly suitable for higher melanin levels as it works deep enough without irritating the upper skin layer.

Can I be treated during pregnancy?

For medical reasons, we recommend avoiding laser treatments during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Why is a trial treatment useful?

It shows how your skin reacts to the treatment - without any obligations or costs. So you can make an informed decision.

How hygienic is the treatment at Laserazor?

Very hygienic - there is no skin contact, no gel is used and work is carried out exclusively under visual control.

How long does the result last?

The hair root is permanently¹ destroyed. Individual fine hairs may grow back later due to hormones, but can be easily treated.

Which skin areas can be treated?

All areas of the body: Face, armpits, legs, intimate area, back, chest, arms and more - individually adapted to skin and hair.

How does Laserazor differ from beauty salons?

Laserazor works with medically approved lasers, trained staff and precise visual guidance - no cosmetic devices or techniques.

What does medically certified technology mean?

Our laser devices are approved for medical use in the EU and meet the highest safety and efficacy standards.

Is treatment possible in summer?

Yes - with careful preparation and aftercare. It is important to protect the skin from the sun and apply sunscreen.
