Permanent¹ hair removal for all skin types - your solution at Laserazor in Berlin

Unwanted body hair can become a daily burden for many people - whether for aesthetic, hygienic or medical reasons. Shaving, epilating or waxing usually only produce short-term results, accompanied by skin irritation and ingrown hairs. Modern laser hair removal offers a long-term alternative that is gentle on the skin and can be used on almost all skin types. In this article, you will find out how Laserazor in Berlin uses certified laser technology to provide safe, comfortable and permanently¹ effective hair removal - individually tailored to your needs.

How does laser hair removal work?

The principle is based on a targeted light impulse that is absorbed by the melanin contained in the hair. The light energy is converted into heat and permanently destroys the hair root¹ - without affecting the surrounding tissue. For this to work, technology with a precise wavelength and power regulation is required - and this is precisely where Laserazor comes in with certified medical devices.

Two lasers - suitable for almost all skin types

People with light skin and dark hair particularly benefit from the Deka Again alexandrite laser (755 nm), which is precisely matched to this contrast. It works superficially and with high precision, ideal for skin types I to IV.

For darker skin types V and VI, Laserazor offers the ND:YAG laser from Lutronic. With its longer wavelength of 1064 nm, it penetrates deeper into the skin and targets the hair root without damaging the upper skin layer. This enables safe and permanently¹ effective treatment, even with a higher melanin content in the skin.

Even sensitive skin is protected

A frequently expressed reservation concerns the sensitivity of the skin. Many people fear irritation or pain. For this reason, Laserazor works with an integrated sapphire glass cooling system that permanently¹ protects the skin during treatment and ensures a virtually pain-free experience. The technology enables precise work without skin contact or gel application - another hygienic advantage.

Why Laserazor offers more than cosmetic solutions

Many studios work with outdated IPL technology or devices without medical approval. The difference with Laserazor lies not only in the technology, but also in the staff: treatments are carried out exclusively by trained specialist staff with NISV certification. The lasers used are medically approved in the EU, have received multiple awards and meet the highest safety and efficacy standards.

A method that pays off in the long term

On average, six to ten sessions at intervals of four to eight weeks are required to achieve a permanent¹ reduction in hair growth. The exact number depends on skin type, hair density and hormone levels. People with hormonal disorders such as PCOS can also benefit from the method in the long term through regular treatments.

Your skin. Your needs. Our solution.

At Laserazor, the focus is always on individual consultation. Before treatment begins, we carry out a free trial treatment. We analyze the skin and hair structure and test how the skin reacts to the laser. This results in an individual treatment plan that is tailored to your personal requirements.
