How safe is laser hair removal?

At Berlin Laser, your safety is paramount. We employ the latest and safest laser technology, and our authorized Candela practitioners — extensively trained by independent Candela trainers — are supervised by medical doctors. Their comprehensive training spans laser physics to medical conditions impacting hair growth, ensuring you're in safe hands.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Yes. For achieving permanent results in hair removal, laser treatment — and not IPL — is the recommended and safest approach. Our clients typically achieve remarkable results — a 95 – 100% reduction in unwanted hair within 7 – 10 sessions. We're excited to introduce our Lifetime Unlimited Package to address potential challenges like hormonal factors and stubborn hair regrowth, ensuring you won't have to worry about additional costs or touch-ups.

Is laser hair removal a safe and effective option for all skin tones?

Yes. Our laser hair removal procedure is universally compatible with all skin tones. Its precision in targeting hair follicles ensures safety while removing hair at the root without harming the skin.

How effective are at-home laser hair removal devices?

At-home laser hair removal devices mainly use intense pulsed light (IPL) technology, which is less effective and more painful than our lasers. These smaller devices lack an integrated cooling mist system, resulting in extended treatment times and heightened discomfort. Studies have shown that many popular at-home devices may necessitate follow-up treatments as early as 12 weeks after the initial session. In contrast, our laser treatments can permanently remove unwanted hair.

How long does a laser hair removal take?

A laser hair removal session is remarkably fast. You can receive a lip or underarm treatment in less than 10 minutes and a complete Brazilian treatment in under 15 minutes.

Why laser hair removal over other methods?

Laser hair removal offers permanent results, unlike waxing, shaving, or depilatories, which provide only temporary relief. While waxing can be considerably painful, laser treatment feels like a quick rubber-band snap. We've never had a client leave due to discomfort. After completing your laser hair removal sessions, you're done for good. Unlike other methods, you won't need monthly maintenance, saving you money and time.

Can I get laser hair removal if I have tattoos?

Laser hair removal is a viable choice for individuals with tattoos, but it is essential to avoid directing the laser treatment over the tattooed area. The laser effectively targets pigment within the hair follicles but cannot distinguish between ink and hair pigment. Treating over a tattoo can lead to the dispersal of ink pigment beneath the skin, potentially resulting in thermal burns. Please consider laser hair removal before obtaining a tattoo and provide comprehensive information about your tattoo history when commencing treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

The optimal number of treatments for achieving 95 percent or higher hair removal varies based on factors such as treatment area, age, hormones, and hair color. With our Lifetime Unlimited Package, we ensure continuous coverage without additional expenses. Each session is scheduled 4 – 6 weeks apart.

What should I expect to feel during a laser hair removal treatment?

Our state-of-the-art laser employs cooling technology to ensure your comfort. The skin is cooled before and after each pulse, significantly reducing discomfort. It's worth noting that most clients liken the experience to a gentle snap from a rubber band, making it far less uncomfortable than traditional waxing.

How do you prepare for a laser hair removal treatment?

To ensure the best laser hair removal experience, having a natural skin tone with no recent sun exposure, tanning bed use, or self-tanner application is essential. We kindly request that you shave either the day before or the day of your appointment. Additionally, please arrive with clean skin, ensuring you have no lotions or makeup on.

Are there risks associated with laser hair removal?

Our state-of-the-art lasers are incredibly safe and administered by highly trained medical professionals who prioritize your well-being above all else. We take every necessary precaution to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your treatment. With minimal recovery time, you can swiftly return to your daily activities. The only thing we ask is that you protect your investment with sunscreen.

What type of laser do you use?

Berlin Laser exclusively employs the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, the latest and most advanced dual-wavelength laser for safe and effective skin treatments. This cutting-edge device seamlessly blends Alexandrite and Nd: YAG laser technologies, ensuring safe treatment for all skin types. Its built-in cooling technology also minimizes discomfort during sessions.

Concerned about privacy during laser hair removal?

Your privacy during laser hair removal is our priority. Our laser hair removal expert will answer all your questions during your private consultation. You'll remain fully clothed during treatment for body areas like the upper lip, chin, arms, underarms, and lower legs. To ensure privacy and comfort, we offer robes if clothing must be removed. No one else will be present in the treatment room as you change. The treatment provider will knock and request permission to enter once you're ready and on the table.

What do I need to know after a laser hair removal treatment?

After your laser hair removal session, follow these aftercare instructions for optimal results:

For two weeks, shield your skin from UV light, including sunlight and tanning beds, to prevent hyperpigmentation.

Steer clear of heat treatments like saunas, spas, and steam rooms for seven days.

Avoid shaving the treated area for 72 hours.

Refrain from strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.

Avoid chlorine exposure, such as swimming pools, for 48 hours.

Skip makeup on the treated area for at least 48 hours.
