Laser aesthetic treatments: effectiveness, safety and lasting results
At Alpine Skin, we use the latest laser technologies to treat a wide range of aesthetic conditions in a targeted, safe and lasting way.
List of services
-
ND:YAG laser technology The ND:YAG laser penetrates the superficial layer of the skin (the epidermis) without damaging it or causing downtime. It targets the deep layer of the dermis by directly absorbing collagen and fibroblast cells, thus causing controlled thermal damage deep within the skin.List of items 1
-
Ablative skin rejuvenation Ablative rejuvenation stimulates collagen and fibroblast activity by acting on the superficial epidermis and deep dermis. This method is more effective but requires a longer recovery time.List of elements 2
-
Permanent hair removal with diode laser Our latest diode laser technology (810 or 1064 nm) uses a painless cooling system, suitable for all skin types. This high-energy laser penetrates the skin without damaging it and targets hair follicles in the active growth phase by absorbing the pigment into the follicles and surrounding blood vessels. The result: long-lasting smooth skin, with a reduced need for shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams, saving time, money, and reducing environmental impact.List of items 3

Treatment of medium-sized varicose veins (spider veins) and spider veins Moderate varicose veins and spider veins can be effectively treated with lasers emitting a wavelength of approximately 1400 nm. The energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the red blood cells within the veins, thermally sealing the vessels. The body then eliminates these veins through the lymphatic system over several weeks. This treatment is often performed on the legs, face, or décolleté, with or without sclerotherapy injections for optimal results.List of items 4

Pigmentation spots and age spotsAge spots, sun spots, or other superficial pigmented lesions are treated with low-wavelength lasers (generally below 700 nm). The energy is absorbed by the pigments in the epidermis, resulting in a clearer and more even skin tone.
-
Tattoo removal and permanent makeup removalThe picolaser (picosecond pulsed laser) delivers ultrashort, high-energy pulses that effectively break down tattoo pigments. Different wavelengths are used depending on the color. This laser can also treat acne scars or other skin lesions, but should not be used concurrently with isotretinoin (Accutane) treatment due to increased light sensitivity.
-
Cryolipolysis for body contouringCryolipolysis is a cold laser treatment that targets the subcutaneous fat layer. It freezes and dissolves localized fat deposits, which are then naturally eliminated by the lymphatic system. It is an ideal non-invasive method for body contouring, whether on small areas (such as under the chin) or large areas (abdomen, thighs).
-
Lymphatic drainage and cellulite treatmentIPL lymphatic drainage technology uses rollers that massage cellulite and stimulate lymphatic vessels, thus facilitating the elimination of toxins to regional lymph nodes.
-
Other laser treatmentsCertain skin or nail infections can also be effectively treated with lasers, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional methods.
Practical information
Frequency, duration and monitoring of treatments
The number of sessions depends on the area, the type of treatment, and your skin. Generally, expect 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Results appear as early as 2 weeks after treatment, with continuous improvement for several months.
The effects are long-lasting, often visible for several years.
Consultation, prices and post-laser care
An initial medical consultation is essential to define the protocol best suited to your skin, your goals and your medical history.
Indicative price: from CHF 100 per area or treatment. Customized packages are available for multiple areas.
After each treatment, we recommend the daily application of a moisturizing cream with SPF 50, in order to protect the skin and enhance the results.
