For hair removal, we offer either the Clarity double laser or IPL technology. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light - the treatment works with pulses of light.

In contrast to IPL, the Clarity laser is also suitable for darker skin types. You can expect five to eight sessions for permanent hair removal. To prevent the hair from growing back, we use the laser to remove the cells that can regenerate the hair in the treated area.

Tattoos are removed for a variety of reasons. Changes in life circumstances, professional requirements, unsuccessful tattoos, skin problems or a change in aesthetic taste are the most common reasons for deciding to have a tattoo removed.

Tattoos can be removed using various methods, with laser treatments being the most common. These methods offer the ability to gradually fade or remove unwanted tattoos to suit individual needs and desires.

Our advanced laser treatments offer an effective solution for tattoos that cannot be completely removed using traditional methods. Using the state-of-the-art picosecond laser and the Q-switched nanosecond laser, we use targeted pulses of energy to destroy the tattoo's color pigments embedded in the skin. Thanks to the short pulse times of the picosecond laser and the precise settings of the Q-switched nanosecond laser, even stubborn tattoos can be treated effectively.

PRP for the treatment of hair loss

Treatment information

  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment in which growth factors from the patient's blood are used to stimulate hair growth. First, blood is taken, centrifuged and only the clear part (plasma) is injected. As a rule, 3 sessions are carried out at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks. The frequency of maintenance therapy varies, but generally one session is carried out every 6 months.

  • PRP is not used for all types of hair loss. The best studied and most successfully treated is androgenetic alopecia, a genetic form of hair loss that is more common in men, but also occurs in women. However, PRP treatment is much more successful when combined with the classic treatments for the problem, which can be carried out with lotions or tablets for continuous application.
  • The treatment usually takes between 15 and 45 minutes.
  • No downtime

  • Time to final result: 2 to 3 weeks

  • No anesthesia
  • Pain level: Low

from 550 CHF

Hair loss is a symptom that can have many different causes. Androgenetic alopecia, telogenetic effluvium, alopecia areata are just some of the many diagnoses that can lead to hair loss.

For proper treatment, it is important to first make a diagnosis, for which the dermatologist is best qualified.
