Medical and Laser Center Frankfurt and Wiesbaden Laser Hair Removal

The duration of a treatment session depends on the size of the body area being treated. Treatment of the upper lip takes about ten minutes. For treatment of the legs, you can expect approximately one hour per session.

The hair growth cycle is divided into three phases: growth phase, transitional phase, and resting phase. Only hairs in the anagen phase (growth phase), which is about 20 to 30 percent of all hairs, can be treated. After about six to eight weeks, another part of your hair follicles becomes active and can now be treated. For this reason, multiple treatments are necessary for permanent hair removal of as many hairs as possible.

With the modern Alexandrite laser, YAG and diode lasers, and IPL Ellipse systems, the Doctors‘ and Laser Center offers a variety of treatment options for all hair and skin types. After a prior consultation and thorough examination, we can select the right treatment method for you and create your individual treatment plan. Most Northern and Southern European types can be treated with the Alexandrite laser. For darker skin types with very deep-rooted hairs, treatment with the YAG laser is recommended, which has been specifically developed for dark skin types. In general, the ideal conditions for all treatment methods are light skin and dark hair. Very blonde or gray hairs cannot be removed with the laser and IPL methods, as they lack the pigment melanin. For lighter hairs or very dark skin, we recommend a trial treatment to test the effectiveness and efficiency of the methods, as well as the reaction of the skin and hair.

The costs depend on the size of the area to be treated. For larger tattoos, we are happy to provide you with an individual cost estimate before starting treatment. Typically, you pay per treatment, but the Doctors and Laser Center in Frankfurt and Wiesbaden also offer discounted treatment packages.

Avoid direct sunlight and tanning bed visits for some time before the start of the treatment. If the skin is pale, the risk of pigmentation disorders from the treatment is minimal. Some medications can significantly increase photosensitivity. Please let us know if you are regularly taking medication.

The treatment process for scar removal begins with a personal consultation to get to know you better and understand your expectations. During this consultation, you will be informed about all the steps of the treatment and what you need to consider before and after the procedure. Once you have decided to undergo the treatment, you will be applied with a numbing cream one hour before your treatment to minimize discomfort. After these steps, your treatment begins.
