Laser hair removal involves using specific machines that emit ultra-concentrated laser light with a very specific wavelength. This light is expelled from a laser gun or pen towards the hair follicle, producing enough heat to overheat the hair to its root and destroy the bulb without affecting the skin. Once the bulb has been destroyed, the hair can no longer grow back.
In general, several laser sessions will be necessary to treat all the hair in the area because the hair does not grow back uniformly and at the same time. In the absence of the hair, the melanin is not detected and the bulb does not cannot be destroyed.

Yes, laser hair removal is a safe treatment because the wavelength used does not present any mutagenic or carcinogenic risks. In addition, it does not release any radiation that could cause other dangers to the skin.

However, if the recommendations and safety instructions are not followed by the therapist, it can cause side effects such as burns.

At SSSKIN, all our therapists are trained and supervised by an experienced medical team to minimize risks and maximize results.

Permanent hair removal sessions should be spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. This time frame depends on the area to be treated, the host's hairiness and the evolution of the hair cycle. To obtain optimal results, you must absolutely follow your practitioner's instructions, in particular the time limits set between sessions.

Yes, laser hair removal is compatible with all skin types. Today, thanks to technological advances, laser hair removal can be offered to all skin types but not to all hair types. Indeed, the wavelength, power and effectiveness of the laser beam depend on the type of hair.

No, laser hair removal is not suitable for all hair types. Gray, red or white hair cannot be treated with laser.

However, at SSSKIN, we have electrolysis hair removal machines that can help you get rid of them.

Yes, laser technologies have evolved a lot and today laser hair removal is almost painless. And this is thanks to cooling systems and much more precise lasers.

At SSSKIN we use the latest lasers on the market which are highly effective and guarantee safe and painless hair removal.

The price of permanent laser hair removal varies depending on the surface area of ​​the body to be treated as well as the number of sessions required to obtain the desired result. Thus, it is necessary to count approximately 40 CHF for a small surface to be treated such as the eyebrows and more than 300 CHF for large surfaces such as an entire leg.

At SSSKIN, our goal is to make laser treatment affordable and accessible to all budgets, which is why we offer lifetime packages, which means you never spend more than the package price, regardless of the number of sessions you have. In addition, our packages are payable in several instalments.

The laser diffuses a powerful and very precise wavelength unlike the light beam emitted by pulsed light which is not as powerful and effective as the laser to eradicate hair. To achieve a more or less correct result, it is necessary to plan many more sessions of hair removal with pulsed light, which is not the case with the laser.

Additionally, pulsed hair removal carries a greater risk of burns than laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal is intended for women and men, regardless of their skin color, as long as the hair in the area to be treated is brown or black. However, in some cases it is contraindicated, such as for young people/adolescents, or for people undergoing photosensitizing treatment. Or completely prohibited, such as for pregnant women.

If your therapist uses the latest high-performance machines, you will generally need between 3 and 10 sessions depending on the area to be treated and the type of hair and skin.

The care varies from clinic to clinic but at SSSKIN we offer all our guests a free initial consultation before any treatment begins. During this free session, the specialist will determine the guest's skin and hair type, examine the area to be treated and see if the guest is eligible for laser hair removal. Then, the therapist will suggest the most appropriate type of laser and answer any questions.

Laser hair removal is considered permanent when approximately 90% of the hair is removed. In the majority of cases, laser hair removal is permanent.

However, it is possible, in some cases and several years after treatment, that downy hairs will gradually appear on the treated area. These hairs will be finer, lighter and almost invisible.

Regrowth can also occur as a result of hormonal changes caused by pregnancy or medication.

Yes, the bikini line is one of the most sensitive areas of the human body. Tingling or a feeling of heat can be felt, regardless of the hair removal method.

At SSSKIN, we use high-tech laser devices with a high-performance cooling system to reduce these burning and stinging sensations.

Diode laser hair removal machine is a very innovative machine with a wavelength of 810nm. It is suitable for all skin types and can effectively treat hairs of all sizes, even the finest.

Diode laser technology is recognized as the most efficient on the market. Its characteristic is to destroy the hair bulb without harming the skin and to be painless.

The guest must not have heavily tanned skin before the session to avoid any risk of burning. Similarly, after laser hair removal, any exposure to the sun is strictly not recommended for 14 days following the treatment. It is recommended to protect yourself from the sun by applying a high-factor sunscreen to the treated areas to prevent any form of reaction.

Home laser devices can reduce hair to some degree but do not achieve a high enough hair destruction rate compared to professional laser hair removal.

Additionally, at-home laser treatments can be painful and often have average, unsatisfactory results and higher risks of burns.

Beyond the effectiveness and durability of the results, laser hair removal is 5 times cheaper than waxing in the long term. Just a few weeks after the end of the treatment, you will have sublime and incredibly smooth skin permanently.

This hair removal method involves inserting a microfilament or a very fine needle into the hair follicle and delivering a kind of electric shock to permanently destroy the hair bulb. This method works hair by hair and therefore requires more time and effort on the part of the practitioner, making the operation long but very effective.

Yes, it is possible. If you want to eliminate some regrowth after your laser treatment, you can do it with electrolysis. At SSSKIN, we offer you the possibility of completing your laser treatment with a few electrolysis sessions in order to obtain 100% permanent hair removal!

This electrolysis hair removal technique is suitable for all skin and hair types without restriction, including white, gray and blond hair, which pulsed light and laser cannot treat. Electrolysis hair removal is suitable for all parts of the body and can also be used on tattooed skin.

Electrolysis hair removal is also recommended for treating areas that are less sensitive to laser treatment, particularly hormone-dependent areas such as the face and chest.

To maximize and optimize the treatment, it should be performed when the hair is in the growth phase, which is why it is necessary to perform several sessions to eliminate all of the hair. It takes approximately six sessions spaced 10 days to 5 weeks apart. However, it is sometimes necessary to perform more sessions depending on the needs of the host and the areas to be treated.

There are not many contraindications for this technique. However, as a preventive measure, electrolysis is not recommended for pregnant women, people with pacemakers or those with cardiac conduction problems. The same applies to people with progressive skin diseases in the areas to be epilated. Concomitant use of vitamin A acne treatment is not recommended, as is any form of tanning.

Yes, electrolysis is a permanent hair removal technique. During this treatment, the therapist uses a handpiece connected to a high-frequency electric machine and equipped with a filament or needle that will be inserted into the root of the hair. The latter transmits a low-voltage electric current. This action triggers a chemical reaction called electrolysis. The hair follicle releases caustic soda, thus causing the permanent destruction of the bulb.
