Excessive hair growth in the chest area can become an uncomfortable problem for many men. Frequent shaving or even epilation in this area is tedious, the results do not last long, and the skin is continuously strained. With a laser treatment, we can permanently free you from unwanted chest hair. The treatment at Swiss Derma Clinic is performed with the latest laser systems and is quick and remarkably painless.

The Treatment
Our specialists are experts in laser medicine. Your treatment is carried out in several steps:
How the Ice Laser Works:
The ice laser is an innovative diode laser that targets the hair follicle. The features of this method include:
The Effect on Hair Growth: Through repeated treatments with the ice laser, we gradually reach all hairs that are in the growth phase at the time of treatment.
Unlike earlier laser systems, the skin is treated precisely. The surrounding tissue is not damaged, allowing large skin areas to be treated in a short time.
The duration of the session primarily depends on the size of the area to be treated. Typically, a treatment takes between half an hour and an hour. Our specialists at Swiss Derma Clinic will customize the treatment duration to your needs and thoroughly inform you about the entire process in advance.
The exact number of treatments varies depending on hair type, skin color, and individual hair growth. Generally, multiple sessions are needed at intervals of a few weeks.
We always speak of a significant and long-lasting hair reduction. It is possible that a small percentage of hairs may regrow after a few years. In that case, another laser session would be needed to suppress the new hair growth phase. Laser hair removal on white hair is not possible.
In principle, the ice laser used at Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich is suitable for all skin and hair types and thus for all hair colors. However, dark hair responds better to the laser beams since the laser corresponds with the melanin in the hair. Unlike conventional laser systems, we can also treat light and reddish hair with the ice laser.
Before your hair removal session at our practice in Zurich, you can trim the chest hair slightly. This is not mandatory but might be an option for very long hair growth. Please avoid other hair removal methods such as waxing, epilation, or plucking beforehand, as the hair shaft must be intact for the laser treatment. Additionally, avoid sun exposure and tanning methods (including self-tanners) before your appointment to ensure optimal results and minimize side effects.
The results of laser chest hair removal are not immediately visible. Instead, there is a gradual reduction in hair growth that increases with each session. Most of our patients see a significant decrease in hair quantity after a few treatments. However, the exact duration can vary depending on individual hair growth.
The recovery time is minimal. You can usually resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment. The treated areas may be temporarily red or slightly sensitive in some cases. These symptoms usually subside within a few hours. Additionally, it is important to avoid sun exposure and follow the aftercare instructions provided.
