Gentle treatments with light pulses can permanently and effectively remove annoying hairs. Pulses lasting only a fraction of a second are emitted onto the hairy areas of the body.
The light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, which heats up to such an extent that the cells that form the hair die. This effect is permanent. Depending on the area, treatment may need to be repeated several times, usually 6-8 times over several months for effective hair removal. The reason for this is that it is mainly those hairs that are in the early growth phase that are removed and the growth cycle of the hairs is different.
The high-energy pulsed light emitted by the device, known as Intense Pulse Light (IPL), penetrates the skin without damaging it. Due to its specially selected wavelength spectrum, this light is only absorbed by dark structures such as the hair root and the hair follicle. The light pulse only lasts for a fraction of a second, but it is long enough to heat the follicle so that its hair-forming cells are damaged forever – meaning the hair is permanently removed. We use the SPA Touch, one of the latest devices developed specifically for permanent hair removal, which is now the most widely used device in the world. The experience of many thousands of treatments has been integrated into the latest updates of the device, making it one of the most efficient treatment systems. One reason for this is the fact that the SPA Touch has one of the largest areas per flash pulse compared to other devices.
A revolutionary technique for permanent hair removal with decisive advantages. This system combines the experience of laser technology with the advantages of pulsed light technology to create a system that achieves the best results with the gentlest and virtually pain-free treatment. Even hair that was previously difficult or impossible to remove (red, blonde and white hair) can now be treated. The new "In Motion" gliding technology is a real breakthrough in permanent hair removal with light. Instead of emitting individual laser pulses shot by shot, the "In Motion" technique involves repeatedly moving over the areas to be treated, emitting continuous flashes.
As with conventional technologies, light skin with dark hair responds best to the treatment. With SHR technology, however, the stem cell protein is the target structure in addition to melanin. This means that dark skin types and fine hair with little pigment can also be treated successfully, which was previously not possible. In contrast to conventional IPL and laser devices, the treatment is practically painless.
Since the light penetrates the skin, there are no allergic reactions or infections as with other methods. The effectiveness and safety of light-based hair removal have been confirmed in clinical studies.
This method can be used on all areas of the body, such as armpits, legs, bikini line, chest, chin, lips, back, or cheeks. IPL hair removal is suitable for both women and men.
The vast majority of patients tolerate IPL treatment very well, experiencing only a tingling or slightly stinging sensation, which varies depending on the body area.
No, SHR treatment is virtually painless.
A few minutes after the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red and swollen, which usually subsides within a few hours. Since the light does not damage the skin’s surface, you can typically resume your daily activities immediately.
We use state-of-the-art devices with well-tested technology. There are no longer any known side effects such as those seen in earlier years.
Each light pulse treats an area of about 2 x 4 cm – approximately 8 cm², which can contain thousands of hairs. The total duration depends on the area being treated: for example, lips take only a few minutes, while legs take significantly longer.
Typically, 6–8 treatments are needed.
Waxing and tweezing should be avoided for 4 weeks prior to treatment, as they remove the hair root, which is necessary for effective treatment. Shaving is allowed.
The cost of permanent hair removal varies depending on the area of the body being treated. During your consultation, a detailed cost breakdown will be provided.
