Institute in Bogenhausen

The duration depends on the area to be treated. We plan around 30 minutes for smaller areas such as the upper lip or chin and around 30 minutes for armpits. For lower legs or parts of the back, you should allow around 1 hour.

The number of treatments depends on various criteria, such as skin and hair type or hair growth. Our specialists will tailor the treatment plan to you personally during your consultation. As a rule, you will need around 8 treatments, but sometimes more or fewer sessions may be necessary. Depending on how your hair reacts to the treatments or which area of the body is affected.

From our more than 14 years of experience and 15,000 treatments per year, 8-10 treatments are sufficient to have the intimate area lasered. However, as every hair and skin type is individual and different, we recommend clarifying this question in an individual and free consultation.

It is important to understand the word “permanent” correctly in this context: It does not mean that hair will never grow back. Sometimes it can actually happen that individual hairs grow back. This is often due to hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy or the menopause.

Complete hair growth will not occur again, however, because once a hair root has become desolate it will never produce hair again, which is often enough to achieve a long-term effect, depending on the predisposition.

Permanent hair removal treatment should only be carried out by trained staff. You should always enquire whether the staff carrying out the treatment are certified before starting the treatment.

All our staff are highly trained and certified specialists with years of experience and over 15,000 treatments per year.

We use I2PL technology, a further development of laser technology: it has a broad wave spectrum of light and can therefore reach hair roots at different depths much more effectively and gently. As our devices work particularly gently and safely, we do not need any additional cooling as with some other methods.

Here are some reasons that rule out treatment. During your consultation, we will discuss your individual situation in detail and check with you whether treatment is possible.

• if you are pregnant and 3 months after giving birth
• if you have a pacemaker
• if you have skin cancer
• if you have fungal infections
• if you have pigment abnormalities
• if you have bleeding disorders
• for skin areas with an increased number of moles
• if you have extremely light- and sun-sensitive skin

At our skinflow institutes in Munich, we work with the so-called I2PL method for permanent hair removal. This stands for “Intense Pulsed Light” of the next generation – intense pulsed light. This technique is therefore a further development of the IPL and laser method for permanent hair removal.

The energy of the light is even stronger: nevertheless, these light pulses are very gentle and safe – and much more effective than IPL or laser technology.

With the I2PL method, a much broader spectrum of light can be directed via the dark pigment melanin in the hair down to the hair root, which is then destroyed – including the smallest supply channels – so that the treated hair no longer grows back. However, as not all hairs are in the same growth phase at the same time (approx. 10-15% at the same time), several treatments are always necessary to achieve a truly permanent result.

Of course, we also welcome spontaneous visits to our institutes. However, we definitely recommend making an appointment in advance – as we want to allow enough time for you so that neither you nor our customers are kept waiting. We want to give you professional and comprehensive advice and take the time to analyse your hair and give you a few initial test impulses. Because you should not only feel comfortable with us, but also safe and well informed.
